Hello,

I'm a newbie here and hoping you will be able to help before I tear my hair out!!

I have had a wireless network set up for over a year with no problems. A few weeks ago, I am happily online browsing away when my connection drops out. To cut a long (and painful) story short, have rebooted everything, got a new router and wireless dongle (needlessly apparently) but the wireless network STILL isn't working and I can't figure out why.

If I connect direct to the cable modem, I have no problems at all.
My wireless network is detected and seems to be working fine.
If I connect direct to my router, doesn't work.
It seems that my modem & router just don't want to talk to eachother, what can I do?

yours, grovelingly.....
