As promised...

The figures you have used will require you to setup your router as 192.168.1.1, which is how mine is set, but it's more usual to have the first three numbers (octets) set to 192.168.0, which would make your router 192.168.0.1, and would force you to make your other boxes (lappie and dbox) 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.10.
Why have you got a LAN connection? I thought you were only using the wireless link from your lappie to the router? If you're not using it, disable it.
I expect you have a web interface to set up your router. I would turn off the DHCP server runing on it (but you don't have to, even if you hard-code the individual IP's on your clients), and set it up as above. You have obviously punched in all your ISP details correctly already. You will also want to have NAT enabled on your router to allow multiple boxes to share the internet connection.

I'd check this first.
I'd then check the laptop, but with it hard-wired.
BGonaSTICK said:So where is the modem connected?
What's the model number of the router?

Do u mind listing you internet provider and the make of equipment you are using?
Know where u coming from as had same headache!!!!
BGonaSTICK said:John, what is the exact model number of your Creative modem?
It's not the 8015U DSL router is it?
BGonaSTICK said:All that means is that you're not being allocated a dynamic IP address by your ISP, which is what should happen every time you dial up. It will be different each time.
That could be for any number of reasons. It just means that your modem is not connecting. All the information you require for the router configuration is in your laptop, if you've been connecting using that.
I take it that you have not had the Ethernet modem connected to your ISP at all yet?
You're router will need some basic information like userid and password to connect, plus maybe some other info, depending on what your provider requires. What is the IP address of the router, and can you ping it from your laptop?
BGonaSTICK said:John, I'm sure that this is your problem. Instead of buying a plain ADSL modem, you have bought an ADSL modem and router combined.
I would suggest taking it back, and buying the correct modem.
If you don't want to do that, I think it may be possible to make it work, but then you will have to use the router built into the modem instead of the WRT54G.
It could work, but it would probably be inferior to the Linksys.
That would involve turning off the routing capability of the WRT, and using it only as a WAP and hub combined. All a bit messy.
What do you want to do? Do you want me to identify a suitable modem for you?

BGonaSTICK said:Yes, but I assume that's only if you connect it to your PC and use the USB connection to do it. Only then will you need a Windows driver. If it sits on the other side of the router, it won't need any drivers.
I'll do some digging, but not sure if I'll have time today. Sit tight.
