Internet is like watching paint dry!

how would you recomend me to do this?

"Find / learn how to access your ADSL router using your browser, as that's where the ISP settings will be found. "

how would you recomend me to access adsl router using browser?

should i do this first?? or after i have learned how to access the router?

let's reset the TCP stack; we will need admin privileges, so if Vista ask for it, ALLOW.

get the command prompt and enter
# IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
# NBTSTAT -R
# NBTSTAT -RR
# NETSH INT RESET ALL
# NETSH INT IP RESET <user promted to reboot> ... No
# NETSH WINSOCK RESET <user prompted to reboot> ... Yes

reset the TCP stack first:

to access the router config, You need

1. router address
2. admin user id
3. admin password

all of which depend upon the router make & model (what is yours?).

You use the browser URL area to enter the IP address of the router.
enter the ID/Password and then you can see and modify the router settings.

sory, its 300wr

well now, the User's Guide is nothing but a Quick Start and leaves 99% of the details out Your CD should have it and also something call VPN Lite

the default router address is documented to be 10.0.0.2 but gives no userid/password;
apparently not necessary (gulp!).

If you CAN access the configuration data, then you are looking for the WAN side information,
which will have the Gateway address and two DNS addresses;
please report all three

poke about and find the
1) Remote Control and clear the box [ ] allow remote config
2) Disable UPnP
3) find the page that allows changing the admin password; set it the same as your PC password.
4) save the config and if not done automatically, restart the router
(disconnect power, wait 30 sec, reapply power).
