trouble with 2300 router
Hi to all. Here is my problem, which you all have probably seen before but have no clue on what to do. I'm using a Linksys cable modem with USB and Ethernet connections, a Truemobile 2300 wireless broadband router, have to computers running windows xp. Here is the problem. I was getting the internet on both computers then the power went out for a split second and then I couldn't get the internet on my host computer. I could get it on the laptop with is using a truemobile 1180 wireless usb adapter. Now I can get the internet on the host computer but not on the laptop. The set up wizard has confirmed internet connection. I have all the wires hooked up like it shows. Now it is searching for the router. The set up wizard was unable to detect the router. In the lower left hand corner I have these numbers 24.14.117.26. I try to run the set up again and I get a message detecting router failure. How do I get my computer to detect my router? Seeing how I have a usb and ethernet modem do I need to use the usb and the ethernet connections together to use my router. If I unplug the usb I lost the internet to my host computer. I have tried to use the run command to see my router but I don't think that it is on my computer. I'm hoping that my router didn't crash on me. Well I hope that someone out there can understand my problem and can help out anyway possible. Just to let you know I don't understand to much about all of this computer stuff.

1. I hope I misunderstood you but it sounded like you are using the 1180 on a laptop? If that is the case, its not even supposed to work(although it sometimes does) because of power requirements.
2. Have you tried disconnecting the router and the modem for around 5mins then reconnecting them?
3. Try giving more details about what is connected wired and what is connected wirelessly.

Ok here is how I have things set up. To start off I didn't set the network up the first time.
I have a dell dimension 2350 desktop. I have a Linksys cable modem with Usb and Etherent connections hookup. My router is a dell 2300 wireless broadband. I just learned that my router won't work with a usb connection but when I disconnect my usb connection my cable modem is gone.
I also have a laptop that is a dell inspiron 2650. I'm using a dell 1180 wireless usb adapter. Both are running windows xp home edition.
Here is the problem. I had to have my windows xp reinstalled on my desktop. Everything worked fine with my network until I had to have my window xp reinstalled. Now when I try to hook up my network, I can't get my router on my desktop. It connects to the internet but it doen't connect to the router so I can see it. If I get the internet on my desktop, I can't get it on my laptop or if I get it on my laptop I can't get it on my desktop. I want my desktop to be the host computer. Now remembe all this worked before I had to reinstall windows. Do I have the cable modem hooked up wrong. Need help about ready to just throw it all in the trash.

ok here is how it should be hooked up, you do not need a host computer.
the ethernet port from the back of the cable modem should be hooked up (with cat5 wire) to the connection labled WAN (Some times labled INTERNET) on the back of the TrueMobile 2300, Lan1 on the TrueMobile 2300 should hook up to your desktop computer,
after this is all done turn on your computer (remove the USB forever) and type 192.168.2.1 in your web-browser, go to basic settings and set up the router, after that you are good to go.
