Hi. I have successfully set up my wireless router and it works perfectly
well, but only when the house desktop PC is turned on. Is there anyway I
can avoid having to have the desktop pc turned on?

Maybe you're running some services on the PC, like DHCP (which assigns
network numbers), that should be running on the router. Or maybe the router
needs to mimic your PC's MAC address for your internet service provider
(ISP) to recognize it as valid.
You'll need to snoop around your router's interface to see what's up. ____________________

| Also, make sure you routed all your cables properly. ____________________

Thank you for replyling! How do I do that? ^ I ran the disc that came with
the router through both computers again today and resaved the settings and
etc on both, but it still only works when the main system is on.
I didn't set up the router, my mothers friend did who is an IT guy. I set
it up according to the manual and it didn't work at all. |

Most routers have a web page interface, which can usually be reached (from
the computer plugged directly into it) at
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
or
192.168.2.1
depending on the model.
What you can do with that interface varies by model, also. ____________________

| The username (if there is one) is usually admin , and the default password
is either admin or blank. ____________________

Again thank you for replying! the 168.1.1 works for me, but it won't accept
admin to enter. Is there anything else i can try? |
