Hi,
My mate has just bought a linksys wireless adsl modem/router and was trying to install it on his laptop at home.
When he brought the laptop and modem up to mine I couldn't get the LAN connection to enable.
Everytime I tried I just got a message to say enabling failed.
The ethernet port shows in the device manager as working.
Not suprisingly when I do ipconfig /all there is no info at all.
All that I could do as plug the dsl line in and the LAN cable in. The lights registered for wireless, LAN, DSL & Power and that is what you would expect. When I try to install the quick setup software it get to 14% and fails - presumably because it couldn't setup the network connection.
Plugging the LAN line into my own adsl modem/router didn't get me any further.
Bit lost now. Any ideas.
