I should add, and this should be in the manual, make each computer a dhcp client so
that they obtain their proper IP configuration from the router. IPconfig /all at the
command line can be used to see what IP configuration a computer is obtaining. Get
the router working for internet access to a cabled computer first [if you have one]
before you try wireless access. -- Steve
