hi, this may have already been covered, but I am trying to install a wireless Linksys WRT54GS for use with telewest.
I can get the pc to talk to the wireless, but i can't get a wireless internet signal.
(I can even run an ethernet cable from pc to router and from router to modem and get internet - but not wirelessly)
I know there are mac address copy issues, and i have tried copying the mac address from pc to router.. but to no avail.
some websites say to use pppoe some dhcp.. i've tried both.
What I could do with is a breakdown of settings to use from someone who has successfully installed this.

Re: telewest wireless woes
If you can connect to the internet via a wired connection to the router, then there is no problem with Mac addresses or anything like that.
Have you got any security set up on the router? If you have, disable it. When you have got a working wireless connection, I would recommend you re-enable the security.
As Stu says, if you are connected via the wired ports, there is no Mac addres problem. Do as he says and remove all security.. Make sure the Mac filter is off, encryption is off. Do a hard reset (press small button on the back)
What happens when you try and connect wirelessly? Does it see your network name?
