Re: Interesting network issue

Hi again.

Ok, I've got a bit more info.

What they've got - a MAC desktop, 2 notebooks (1 XP + 1 Vista) and a Netgear Rangemax WNR834B. The XP machine doesnt have wireless but the Vista one does.

At the moment the MAC is connected to the Virgin modem and is working fine. I didnt want to mess around with any settings without some advice as they need at least one system connected to the internet.

I know how the wired set-up should be, modem-->router-->desktop. I managed to get into the router setup but wasnt sure what settings i needed.

Under basic set-up do i set it to pppoe then put in the email address and password of the user? what other settings to i need to get the desktop to work?

Once i've got the desktop to work do i just check there is no wireless security set up on the router then connect the vista machine?

Then is it just a case of connecting an ethernet cable to the xp machine and it should work?

Thanks for all your help
