Hi everyone.
I'm new to this, so I'm really hoping you can help me.
I have a Siemens gigaset router provided to me by Tiscali.
Being a little paranoid about going wireless, when I finally figuered out how to get into my router admin settings on IP 192.168.1.1 I was really pleased.
First on my list of recommended security measures was to turn SSID broadcasting off.
I clicked on the "disable" and I have completely lost all my internet access.
I briefly managed to reconnect to the router side again and changed it back to "enable" but this has made no difference at all. I've tried to reset my router and nothing happens.

So I uninstalled everything, then tried to reinstall the router via the CD tiscali had provided me, and it is now not recognising my WPA code. So I tried to install a wired version ( I was deperate to get on e-bay as my auctions were ending!) and it wouldn't recognise my password.
After 2 lengthly (and expensive) calls to Tiscali, all the said was that there was a problem with the exchange and it would last about 24 hours. I find that a bit difficult to beleive seeing that I was picking up wireless connections from my neighbours and my brother-in-law who lives round the corner (also on tiscali) had no problems either.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be great. Please bear in mind that I'm new to all this stuff - so what may seem obvious to you - may not be to me!!

Many thanks in advance
Vicky
