Cannot connect to internet through wireless network

by william_marks . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

I have been using AOL Broadband Silver happily for a couple of weeks now with the supplied DG834G connected to my computer by an ethernet cable.

I wanted rid of the long telephone wire running down my stairs, so when someone offered me a wireless adapter I plugged it in and set it up.

First I put the AOL 9.0 CD in and tried step 2 – set up wireless network, put process stopped when adapter turned out to be non-supported by AOL.

Anyway I’ve been able to set up my wireless network using Windows XP and apparently I’m connected etc (can also see a neighbours unprotected network) but I cannot connect to the internet. AOL cannot find the modem. If I disconnect the wireless adapter and plug the ethernet cable back in the internet works fine.

Have tried two different (non-supported) adapters now, so problem isn’t with them.

How do I get it to connect to the net using the wireless connection. I’m sure it’s just some setting somewhere I need to change but have tried everything.

Please help!
