There is 3 messages 1/ plug a cable into the network adapter ( LOCAL CONNECTIONS)  it works when the yellow cable is pluged in. but when i take it out the internet goes back to the 3 messages
message 2/  automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter, wireless network connections, But when i click on this i get another message saying the problem could not be fixed.

If you are connect with the Ethernet cable, but not the Wireless, have you set the security on your PC, the Router comes with WAP set, the code for the WPA is printed on the base of your router, Note CAPS only (I think)

Re: Hi i really need help

with the lap top, via wireless, if you enter 192.168.1.254 in the address bar of your browser, what do you get?  (it should be the router control)

Re: Hi i really need help

Hi.
I put this number in and a message said cannot communicate with192.168.1.254 ( Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response.
Window found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically
contact your internet service provider for help or click here for information about things you can try .
A window help and support window has come up .
God its really doing my head in my lap top worked fine with BT it was just the price i didnt like.
When i plug the yellow cable into the lap top it works but as soon as i take it out it stops working..
Thanks for all of your help.

Re: Hi i really need help

It would be useful if you could post the results of the ipconfig /all command as Asbo suggested
If you are not sure how to get the information into a post from the command box then type the following
ipconfig /all > configtest.txt
A text file called configtest.txt will be created which you can search for, open and copy and paste into this thread.

Re: Hi i really need help

Do you know how to get to the Windows command line?
Click Start, Programs and you should see a black icon somewhere with Cmd next to it.
Click on this.

You can probably find the file configtest.txt by pressing F3 and putting that file name in the box.
Tell it to search your entire C: drive.
When you find it, open the file and copy and paste the details in it  to this forum.

it says Plusnetwireless connected , Access: Local only

What this means (in this case) is that your computer detected the wireless signal from your router, tried to establish a connection to it and failed.  View your wireless connections and disconnect this failed connection.  Then restart your computer and start again from scratch.

Just so you know how to that ipconfig command - can you try it out on your PC - so that you will know what to do if asked for it.  Smiley
