Just upgraded from dial-up to Broadband on my Telewest line - engineer plugs in the modem, gives me a disk and some cables and disappears. I run the setup disk and after about 5 minutes of setting up, asks me to input my details and then crashes. This happens time and again but when I click my browser I'm already connected to the internet! So, on with the installation of the router - A kit with notebook card and router from Linksys. Set-up the router and the wireless, a bit of a faff but eventually it all works okay. However, when I try to access BBC radio player through the router, there's a problem. The internet disappears, if you know what I mean, and I need to switch the router and PC on and off again to get back to the internet. This also happens on the laptop through the router. If I plug the cable modem into the PC without the router, it works fine. Is there any quick fix to this?
