    I'm trying to set up wireless eircom broadband on a Dell. I've put in a wireless Cnet Adapter and eircom have provided a netopia router.

    The eircom router as per the picture on the top of this page:
    http://broadbandsupport.eircom.net/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/&/WEBCGI.EXE/,/

    The CNet Wireless-G PCI 54 Mbps 802.11g from komplett is here:

    I swear I've done everything right, a light comes on the router and the adapter light blinks the whole time but nothing shows up on the software.

    This is what it looks like:

    I've uninstalled McAffee Personal Firewall Plus and diabled windows firewall. I'm lost for ideas at this point.

    Can anyone shed some light on what could be wrong?

    (this is a double post as I posted this to the broadband forum first by accident)

    nevermind, I got it workin.

    don't know how because I musta toggled about a hundred different options.

    In the end I am just using the windows wireless connection utility and have set the default channel on netopia to 1. Dunno if that's what did it but it is working.
