Do you Have Cable or ADSL? | |

Sounds like you have a 'router' only - you need an ADSL ethernet modem to plug into the WAN port on the router. Either that, or have the router replaced for an 'ADSL Modem/Router' - which plugs directly between your phone line and network (to which your other machines are connected). | |

if its the 54g jobbie that i have got then yes you need a modem still. rj45 from the modem to the router. is a peice of pish to setup, almost plug and play and then just customize the settings to your requirements. Oh yeah make sure you put either an encription key or mac address filtering on, or even both, otherwise anyone near your house can just access your network and abuse your internet conection! | |

generally you have RJ45 going from a network card to the router, then RJ11 from router to the filter in your phone socket. | |

Hey, I think you can buy adaptors (USB - RJ45) or you can ring BT and ask them for an ethernet modem, they tend just to send you the USB one because many people don't have network cards, they should swap it for you though. | |

plug the rj-45 cable into your router and the other end into the filter. Thats how i have mine setup. | |

do you know how to set a router up, if not you may have problems? | |

it should do, the wan link is normally the port you use to connect the router to the wall (adsl line) | |
