Difficult Wireless connection

by cavucomp . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

I am using a 2wire DSL/router for a router only (I do not have DSL at the house). I do have a linksys wireless router connected to a cable modem which carries my internet connection. It works great with my laptop.

I have a couple of desktops connected to the 2wire router via ethernet cables and I also have a wireless ethnet card in one of the computers. I am trying to connect the desktop via the wireless card to the linksys (it does show connected) but I can’t get out to the internet.

If I use automatic detection, I get the 2wire default page saying the DSL is not setup. I have the 2wire wireless disabled. If I try to put something in the proxy setting on the desktop browser, I just get tat thee page is not available. What should I put in the proxy dserver settings (address and port).

Please help
