Hi;

I tried to install my new Linksys WRT54G last night. Followed the setup wizard and plugged all the cables in. Clicked the next button: it checked my computer settings - fine. Then up popped another screen asking for a password. Whatever password I put in here (my ntl password; 'admin'; blank etc) all that happens is this screen disappears and I back to the previous one where clicking the 'next' button checks my computer settings and asks me for a password.

Tried to install it manually by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser. While I can wirelessly connect to the router, I don't know the settings to get the router to connect to the internet. Trying to do so just reveals I am connecting with an IP of 0.0.0.0 a subnet of 0.0.0.0 etc.

So: am I doing something wrong on the setup wizard (can't see what)

Or: how do I configure it manually for NTL through my browser and 192.168.1.1. I can get my ip address my using ipconfig, but I don't know where to enter this. Can anybody please please help (and with screenshots if I can be cheeky).

Thanks!
