trying to connect to the router.
Often times a USB device is not properly installed, (follow the manual precisely). Spyware/viri can wreck all types of mayhem on networking attempts.
Further, you mention 3 PCs, what does #3 do when you connected?
I have been trying to set up a network with my 3 computers for a couple months and I have had ongoing problems and hope someone can offer some help.
I am using a Linksys wireless G broadband router wrt54g on my main computer, and a Wireless G usb network adapter for my other computers. I have configured the router with my main computer and I have been online consistently for over a week, so I know I am getting a good internet connection with it. The problem comes when I try to "set up a network" As soon as I install the network adapter on the 2nd computer I lose my internet connection on my main computer not long after,,,, Even after unplugging the router and replugging the cable modem in I still have no connection. I have to do a system recovery and unplug my modem for 60 seconds, etc, etc to get connected again.
I don't know if I am causing the problem trying to set up the network. All the research I have done I have found that there are alot of steps that need to be taken when setting up a network and I fear I am doing something wrong. My router is set up for automatic configuration DHCP with a dynamic IP address. I am running Windows XP on both computers.
Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
