Can you not access the router from any computer or just one? If it is just one, then you likely entered the wrong MAC address for that computer. If you cannot access the router from any computer, then try starting over by resetting the router to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back of the router.
i deffinatly put in the correct mac codes as i selected them from the dropdown menu. My adapters are wireless. i am locked out from both computers on the network and i have tried connecting through lan cables and the networkl should work but it doesnt.
I could do this but how can if i cant access the router to change the settings.
as im on aol (not out of choice) i had to change alot of the settings on the router to get it working and if i do manage to reset the router then im woried that i cannot get it to work again.
You access it the same way you set it up, with a wired connection.Most routers have the ability to save the configuration files pretty much the same way XP does a system restore. I would suggest you go thru the process, get it going, and save the file so you can restore when needed.
The manufacturer should have a "how-to" for AOL users.
Your only option at this point is to reset the router using the reset switch. This will return the router to its factory default settings, including the default username and password and SSID. All MAC address filtering and WEP/WPA encryption will be disabled.
