Since I have my preferences set to sort threads by the latest message, the relative position of posts moves all over the place. Thus it is useless to reference a post by an order which is constantly changing. Now to your problem:
Right now your ipconfig output shows that your network card is not connected. Have you turned it off using the Fn F2 key combination toggle? (this assumes you have a laptop, although you have not said which model computer you have.
Furthermore it appears from the output that this computer is currently connected to the internet through Tiscali Bradband. Is this cable or dsl? Is it a USB connection?
In order to provide the information necessary to help diagnose your problem, you need to run the ipconfig command with the wireless network card turned on and not be connected to the internet in any other way. Try again.
Is this the complete output of the ipconfig command? It seems to be missing a few lines. I'm still not sure what it is you are doing. When you connect through the modem to post a message, how are you connecting to the modem, through a USB connection or through an ethernet connection? When you change the connection to connect throught the router, are you plugging the ethernet cable from the modem into the WAN (sometimes Internet) connection on the router?
Your ipconfig output shows that you are getting a proper IP address from the router, but if the router is not making a connection to the modem, then it would explain why you are not getting on the internet.
Note that when you change the device that is connected to the modem, you have to do a complete reset of the network. To do this, turn everything off. Wait 5 minutes. Turn on the modem. Wait another 5 minutes, then turn on the device that is directly connected to the modem (either the router or a computer). Finally, if you are now connecting through the router, turn on the computer that will be connecting through the router.
sorry - I'm new to this. I have a Dell inspiron 6000 only a few weeks old. I can't connect through the wireless router, but I used to be able to. I am now connected via my tiscali modem in order to post this. IP config below. when I disconnect the modem, all I get is the page not found on internet.
Thanks

Since you are replacing the USB modem that was registered with your ISP with new modem/router that probably is not registered with your ISP, I think what you need to do is call your ISP and get them to register the new modem/router on their service. What they usually will need is the MAC address of the new modem/router. I am not familiar with your ISP, but my cable ISP (Cox) requires this whenever there is change of modem.
Sorry if I'm not explaining myself very well. As I said I am completely new to this. I will try again. My laptop came with a USB modem from my ISP. This works OK. I purchased the buffalo combined modem/router which does not need the USB modem. In order to post this, I have disconnected the modem/router and am using the USB modem. I had to reload, via the cd, the modem settings, having previously deleted them when the modem/router was working. I presamably would need to change some setting in internet connections when switching back to the router/modem?
I tried leaving everything off for 5 minutes but to no avail. I am getting the message windows cannot configure this wireless connection when I try to connect to the network connection and it refers me to article 871122 in the windows database. That's about all I can think of for now.
