    hey,

    i use iolbb and ive just bought a 3com wireless dsl gateway. i connected my zyxel modem to the router and can access the router admin screen without any problems using the wireless card on my laptop. ive gone through the wizard yet ive still no internet access. its fine again if i usb connect modem directly to the pc. what am i missing? this question has probably been asked a million times so apologies in advance:D

    What is the model of the router? I just got the this one from Komplett. I had a 15 minute attempt to set it up at the weekend and it failed.

    I am going to make a proper attempt to get it working this evening. I'll let you know how I get on. Unless of course you have yours working now :)

    What I am seeing is that the wireless network works. I can access the admin tools in the router wirelessly, but there is no connection onward to the net. Is this similar to what you are seeing?

    Thomas, I forgot to come back and post on this.

    I don't know if you got your problems sorted but the quick and easy way to get this working is to change the configuration of the ESAT supplied Zyxel modem.

    The configuration wizard includes a screen where the choice is given to you to configure the Zyxel box as a bridge or as an ADSL modem. Choose the bridge option. Then configure your 3Com wireless box as normal.

    That worked for me first time.
