Linksys router, error #323
I did a clean install of XP and cannot get my router to configure, it just gives me error #323.
And yes I looked at "Please read first" and clicked on "After a clean installation of the operating
system the wireless doesn't work" but the link is broken as it only reloads the existing page so
here I am, hat in hand pulling out my hair. I entered the ip address in I.E. and got to the user
name/password window and got no further. The manual says to leave the user name blank and
put "admin" in the password field, but that doesn't work.

Ed P,
The Desktop/Notebook Utility needs to be installed first(if applicable), then the chipset drivers. If they are NOT installed first, then the rest of the drivers will fail to install.
How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems
Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.
Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software(if applicable)
Chipset or SMBus driver
Processor Driver (if applicable)

Audio (sound)
Input Drivers (keyboard/mouse)
Modem
Network Card
QuickSet(Laptop only)

Yes all of those came on CD's with my computer and the first thing I did after installing XP was to install them.
I did not know they had to be installed in a certain order though, I just went down the list alphebetically. All the
ones listed at the download site are "optional" and I have not done those yet. I did manage to get into my
router and update the firmware. Now it gets through the install but tells me it cannot detect an internet
connection, so I'm still stuck with it.
Thanks,

Then install the rest of the drivers, again.

I think you missed my question. I am having no problems with the computer after I reinstalled the operating system, I can
connect to the internet just fine. My problem was with the Linksys router. However, after some fiddling, I was able to get it to
work. Thanks anyway.
