    Hey,

    Using the sticky I've deciphered that my eircom router is not assigning an ip address to my laptop. it was working correctly for a number of months and then suddenly just stopped working, but i didn't install or uninstall any programmes or drivers. just wondering what my next step should be. how do I manually assign a new ip address to the router/computer? not entirely sure what the next step is. ive tried googling for a solution but im not entirely sure what i should be looking for. any suggestions? thanks in advance! even a link to google would be much appreciated, just im not 100% on what the next step is but i would be a little computer literate!

    try resetting it to factory default settings using the pin hole on the back - use something to hold in button few seconds until light on front turns red.
    then, don't forget to change the default WEP/WPA key!!

    see the sticky at top for that.
