Hi rob,

basically, i've got a laptop <> virgin media modem <> internet, which is working fine.

when its plugged into the laptop it comes up as a home network and connects to the internet absolutely fine.

now, i powered everything off and unplugged the lot, connected it like:

Laptop <> Wireless Router <> VM Modem <> Internet.
I then powered everything up in the correct order but it comes up on the computer as an unidentified network, and just stays local only. i'm sure ive tried everything..

havent even got as far as trying it wirelessly, i cant get onto the router set-up page to set up the wireless network

am i doing something wrong?
