    your laptop may need to have its network settings altered to include the long passsword that eircom ADSL modems ship with. Once it knows this it may connect wirelessly.Poke around a bit until asked for a passphrase, and enter the number that the eircom box uses to protect itself?

    Hope this is helpful.:)

    I have much the same problem, the only way I can get laptop to connect to Nethopia 2247NWG via wireless is by disabling security.
    Can anyone tell me where this passphrase is on the eircom box. ???
    Everone says it is shipped with this but which number is it.???
    Thanks for help.
