Can't setup Broadband Help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

You should divide it into two steps..

First establish working Broadband connection between the Modem Router and
one Wired computer.

Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network
Settings, and Sharing: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html

Once it works take care of the Wireless.

John,

1) Hit the Start button in your taskbar.
2) Hit Run.
3) Type "cmd" (less the "" ).
4) Hit the Enter key.
5) This will open a command window. Into the command window, type "ipconfig
/all >c:\ipconfig.txt" (again less the "" ), and hit Enter.
6) Start Notepad.
7) Open C:\ipconfig.txt.
8) Select all text (Ctrl - A).
9) Copy selected text (Ctrl - C).
10) Migrate to this window, and Reply to this post.
11) Paste into your reply (Ctrl - V).

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

John,

Don't sweat it. If you're willing to ask for details, I'll give them to you.

Please try replying to this post, though. It's a lot easier to find our
conversation when you reply to me, and I reply to you...

With Notepad started, do File - Open. Look in C:\, find file ipconfig.txt, and
select it. Hit Open, and the file should open in the Notepad window.
