need computer help

BWAL · February 24th, 2007, 12:50 PM

whats up.. the other day i bought a D-Link wireless router.. model WBR-2310 and need some help.. im not too computer savvy so try to go into detail when you tell me what to do

i ran the disc that came with it and everything and i obviously have my computer connected to the internet.. my computeris the one with the modem, but we have 2 other computers in the house that need to be connected to the internet.. i tried calling D-Link and they were useless so im asking you guys

ANYWAYS heres my question.. when i click "add another PC" it asks if i use D-Link to connect to the internet or if i use windows XP.. whichever one i click, it then tells me to double click that icon in the system tray (if it is D-Link, i click the D logo, if it is windows XP, i click the littl computer icon)

buutttt the problem is, neither of those icons show up in my system tray.. im pretty sure that if i can get the D-Link icon to show up, it will all be downhill from there

thanks

I will assume that your other computers that you are trying to connect have a wireless NIC.

If that is the case, then on each computer that you need to connect, select Start > Control Panel > Networks.

Select the Wireless network and then Connect, which should display a list of wireless networks that you can connect to. Your D-Link should be contained in that list. Click it and select to Connect and that should be it.

Glad to hear that you got it going.

The best thing to do now is secure your router so that your neighbors can't piggyback your connection.

Do some google searches to find out more information on what I'm talking about.
