Hi,

Quite often, with a new network, it helps to reset everything. Power off the
incoming connection (cable/dsl modem) and the wireless access point (WAP or
router). Then turn on the connection, wait until it is "talking" to the
outside world, then turn on the access point, allowing it time to setup. It
may help to also turn your machine off as well, and make it the third item
powered on.
