    So first make sure you're connected to your Eircom wireless connection. If you don't know the SSID (the name of the wireless connection) it should be on your literature from eircom. I would recommend changing the name of your wireless connection and the password that comes with eircom as it is EASILY hackable and someone with a little knowledge can hop onto your connection. If you need more info on how to do this just PM me and I'll send you a document I created awhile ago that goes through how to change the SSID and password. Hope this helps

    This seems to be that you have an open connection or simply connected to the network without a passsword meaning your connected to the router but not to the net. Get your wep, wpa or passphrase right click on the connection of yours in the available wireless networks window and enter in whichever it is. Then you'll be fine.!
