my dad has a netgear wireless router, and it talks to his computer via a cable,
but my computer is too far away for cables, so he's bought a zydas wireless adapter.

the only thing is, i cant talk to the routeror the broadband modem (both of which have DHCP)

In theory, im set to 192.168.1.20 and i should be able to ping the router, then the router
doesn't know regognize it so it forwards it to the modem (192.1681.1), which replies.

only thing is when i try it comes up with "destination host unreachable".

im running linux 10.0, and mostly ues shell commands, but its really pissing me off. so if i ever want to go on the internet, i have to go to my local library(!)

help would be good.....

Are you sure this "Zydas" thing is compatible with your Netgear router?

Offtopic Edit: Why does your age say "74"?

if you had a wireless router already why buy another one?

He didn't. He bought a wireless adaptor.

It seems a bit outdated though...

sssh!

If he was 74, his dad that he mentioned in the first post must be pretty damn old. =p

yeah he recommends porridge everyday

anyway back to topic, can anyone help???

Make sure everything's compatible. that's the only advice I can give you. :/
