remove the cable from your computer and plug it into your laptop? :p

but seriously, have you got broadband?

[Phoenix CG]

:wswrwb:

Should just work as soon as you plug in the ethernet, always has for me.

[Saeed Al-Muslim]

Wa Alaikum Salaam,

Should just work, if you plug in the ethernet cable. If not check if both computers are on the same WORKGROUP:

(Right Click) My Computer > Properties > Computer Name

For wireless you'll have to setup your router via:

http://192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) Localhost

The Login details commonly are: User: admin Password: password

my ISP provider says i need the isntallation disc that came with my modem to install it on my laptop, if it doesnt come on automatically? i aint got it !

[Saeed Al-Muslim]

that sounds to complicated :rubeyes:No it's not, give it a try. Insha'Allaah.

(Right Click) My Computer > Properties > Computer Name

And you'll find out what your WORKGOUP is, check if both computers are the same. If not, then make them the same.

my ISP provider says i need the isntallation disc that came with my modem to install it on my laptop, if it doesnt come on automatically? i aint got it !I thought you had a Router? Is your modem conected to your router, or your computer. Or do you have a built in modem inside your router?

Routers are used for networks, it makes allowances for a number of computers to share the same broadband line. For instance my current broadband connection is shared between 2 computers, 1 laptop and some games consoles. If you remember in your last thread I recommend a wireless router, with a modem built-in, that would do the trick.

I think it seems you'll have to install the Modem, if it is plugged/connected to your computer. I imagine it is via USB.

(Right Click) My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager

Will give you a list of all your installed hardware, with a yellow explanation mark next to any problem hardware i.e. not working properly, not installed etc.

Did you find your Modem listed?

I have found this website, ADSL-Business (http://www.adsl-business.co.uk/btvoyager.htm), is that your modem? If it is try downloading and installing the drivers?

Have you plugged in your modem to your laptop? Both eithernet cable and USB?

Ma'aSalaama

[Saeed Al-Muslim]

Better yet, I have found some drivers on BT.com (http://btbusiness.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/btbusiness.cfg/php/enduser/cci/bt_catpage.php?&cat_lvl1=426&cat_lvl2=427&cat_lvl3=969&p_cv=3.969&p_cats=426,427,969&s_cid=btb_FURL_business/help/downloads&com.bea.event.type=linkclick&com.bea.event.type=linkclick&oLName=link.searchresults&oLName=link.searchresults&oLDesc=KB_1027&oLDesc=KB_1027). Is your modem listed there? If so download your drivers and install it. Insha'Allaah.

[Saeed Al-Muslim]

It's only 2.88Mb, if you've got a memory stick you can transfer it with that, otherwise you could use a CD if you want. Yes, just install it, insha'Allaah it should work.

Sorry, the modem is working. What I meant is by installing the drivers onto your laptop, will install the modem, so that it is recognised properly. I believe this was also the advice given to you by their Technical Support staff. Thus they said something about sending a CD to you.
