Hello!  I dumped the Siemens SpeedStream router and bought a brand new
D-Link Air Plus G wireless router instead.  It is the same brand as the
wireless card I installed in my second PC upstairs.  I hooked it up to my
PC, which is running Windows XP, followed the instructions to the letter,
and with it hooked up, I CAN'T CONNECT to the internet from my main PC which
is hardwired to the router!

There are five lights on my Toshiba cable modem: power, cable, PC, data, and
test.  With the D-Link router hooked up to my PC, the PC light blinks on the
cable modem which means it can't communicate with my PC.  Without the D-Link
router hooked between the PC and the cable modem, I can get on the internet
just fine.

I could go through the Siemens router just fine but it didn't seem to
communicate with the wireless card installed in my PC upstairs.  I don't
understand what I'm doing wrong.

Help!

Thanks!
