My partner has bought an Asus Nexus 7 and I have to set it up. She already has a Linksys Wireless-G broadband router a WRT54G an 802.11g. The PC is an oldish one running XP, patched up to date. It is on a 10mB broadband setup.

What I wish to know is what internet configuration type Virgin uses, a static or dynamic IP address and anything else needed to setup the router. I presume XP has a wireless setup procedure, my PC is Win7. There is also a host name & domain name usually needed by cable ISP's does Virgin? & if so can I find it? or can someone tell me please?

Is there anything I should watch out for. The PC & router will be upstairs & the nexus mostly downstairs.

Thanks,
Buzzby
