yer, i knew that. but the router isn't serving the internet. another computer with ISDN card does that... so that gateway points to the server. its also a fileserver.
so i've kinda lost the wireless router.
strange though, because its started bridging the wireless and wired switch parts, which it didn't seem to be doing...
problem is, how do i get back to the page to set up the ADSL part when i switch from ISDN to ADSL?
BTW, windowsXP doesn't seem to have winipcfg...
EDIT: Doesn't matter, i managed to access it. turns out the IP was still 192.168.1.15... don't know why it reverted to 192.168.0.4 before... maybe it was because i pressed the reset button? if so, why change the IP, and not the Wireless internet settings?
anyway, my network was on 192.168.0.1-7, and the reason it wasn't being accessed was because the first 3 digets needed to match on the computer you was trying to access it with, 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.5 couldn't access it because the 3rd part didn't match. so i changed its IP to 192.168.0.250(cos 250 is so close to the far end that its not going to conflict with anything. once i get broadband all I'll need to do is turn off internet connection sharing on my file server, and change the ADSL wireless access point to 192.168.0.1(default IP for gateways.).).
the other problem i was having about the wireless not working(while i was trying to set it all up) was because i had both wireless and wires working connected to the same hub upon power-up. windows disabled the wireless, but didn't re-enable it when i unplugged the network cable. starting the system with the wireless adaptor plugged in and no network cable allows it to work fine.
