I don't have an eircom router so would it still work? I tried the address but that didn't work.

EDIT: nevermind, forgot to connect with ethernet cable.

EDIT: still won't work. Internet too.

No, I don't have any of those (to the best of my knowledge anyway). How would I check if I do?

Neither program (much as I loathe mcafee) should have any impact on this issue.

+1 to mp22s post. You would want to reset the router entirely and then follow those steps. to do this there is a reset button on the back of the router - press it down with a pen/pencil for 10 seconds, then follow the thread instructions.
