Wireless/Network Problems with new Belkin Modem

    Hey all.

    Quick rundown on what i have here. Theres a new belkin F5D8636 adsl N wireless modem/router connected to eircom broadband. Wired to this is an xp desktop and the old eircom 3347 modem/router (i was hoping this would work as a wireless router on its own as its now located on the opposite end to the phoneline and would extend the wireless range but this doesn't seem to be the case)

    There are 3 xp and a vista machine that connect wirelessly. All of these can find the new modem and connect but with no internet access. Trying to load up the modem setup page (192.168.2.1) doesn't work but they will all load up the eircom netgear page (192.168.1.254) as if they are connected directly to it.

    I wired my vista laptop to the belkin modem and it still will only load up the eircom netgear setup page. The only computer that is accessing the internet is the xp desktop connected directly to the belkin modem but funnily enough that can't load up the eircom router page.

    Running ipconfig on the xp desktop shows a default gateway of 192.168.2.1 but the other machines are showing the gateway as 192.168.1.254. They are all set to get ip addresses etc automatically and i've reset and rebooted them a number of times. Running a traceroute gives only one line as if they had a direct connection to the eircom router. I've even connected to the belkin router with my phone and that doesn't work either.

    The belkin modem has been reset to defaults with no change.

    I haven't tried disconnecting the eircom router to see if it makes a dfference because i can't see how it could be affecting it (open to correction!)

    Help please, my confusion is turning to anger at this stage!
