Computer not detecting wireless network.

That's screwed up - it should be getting a 192.168.1.x IP the same as the USB interface did.
You could try disabling IPv6 (which is where the weird IPs etc are coming from), but it's doubtful it would fix anything.

Before it was mentioned putting the cd in, presumably the router one, but all the router has on it is the crap instructions and the usb driver.

ok now the problem is xp is assigning an emergency ip addy, what you need to do is the di sconnect the phone line from the router, then on the pc disable your firewall and / or windows firewall.
then do this
start ----> run-----> type cmd you should get a black window.
type this ipconfig /release all
then type ipconfig /renew

if that dosent work do this start control panel network connections, and select the lan card right click and click repair. like the pic
then do a screen shot.
op then stat run cmd ipconfig /all


Click to expand...

Couldn't do the release all, it wouldn't work...

'This operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissable for this operation'

Repairing the connection... FAILED

'Could not renew IP address'

And heres another screenshot of ipconfig /all connected to ethernet after all this.

Note: I can no longer access router settings or internet, via ethernet.
 
From before: Just that, i was connected to the router, yet i could not get into the router settings, or access the internet.

Now: Ping failed before and after.
 
Yeah i have username and password, they have to be entered for the usb connection to work.

Similar fields, but that is not my interface, mine is that shown in post 52. The lilac one.
 
Same from all four lan ports.

'pull up that fireware'?

Copy settings from the screenshots?

Don't know about the static IP?

Should i do a system restore to reset everything? Could that help?
