Wireless Router Help?

[james182]

I'm trying to setup my Linksys wireless router. The installation cd does not work, it tests my internet connection and then tells me I don't have one. I was trying to setup the router by going to http://192.168.1.1 and doing it that way but I was having little luck. I was able to get it so that the wireless card was connected or could "see" the router but it said the router was not connected to the internet.

How do I know if I have a static or dynamic IP? I'm at school trying to use the school's LAN.
Do I have to enter a domain on the page at http://192.168.1.1?

Well I doubt that we can know Waht is the nature of the Network in your School.

However I bet you that the Nice Network (IT) people will tell you the parameters of the Network if you ask nicely.

And there it is. The problem and the answer. The Schools network. Might want to ask them if you can use a personal NAT router on their network. If you can then surely they would be willing to help you set it up right?
