I've seen some conflicts in antivirus, firewall, and similar software. Try disabling it all and see what happens.

Ok skipper, will try that and see.
One more thing ;
speed : 54mbps
signal strength : very good
status :
acquiring network address
I get the above and then a message like " can not renew IP"

When the router is connected and active, does the cisco logo on the front remain white.....or orange? I ask as its currently orange.

Update :
Did as explained but still no luck. I disconnected the hard line and went about trying to connect to the internet through by wireless but it coulf not find my homepage and it was not showing the internet in the wireless monitor.
Some attachments to show the problems I encountered when trying to get it running. I am not on the internet with modem <>router<>pc (by ethernet).
Baffled!!!

Now it tells me I have successfully connected to the access point and the internet and the network icon in my taskbar which once said "acquiring network address" says "connected". Going to remove my ethernet connection at the back of the PC now and see what happens!!!

OMG ROB
I'm surfing wirelesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Hopefully the connection will hold, but tell me this, if I shut the pc down every night and switch the router/modem off at the mains too how do I reconnect daily? ....by clicking on the monitor logo on the taskbar and connecting to the wireless network by passkey?
...and, to be on the safe side, how do I check that my security is enabled and my network isn't "out there"
Thanks in advance mate, you've been a real help
