Cable Forum - View Single Post - Problems with wired Linksys router/Telewest/setup

I recently bought a router to share a Telewest internet connection with my two housemates. I have followed the instructions for setting up the router, and configuring the PCs and router (using the DHCP/automatically detect settings option), but none of the PCs detect the Internet connection.

On my housemate's laptop, which used the Telewest connection just fine, I have looked under the Network setting option...there seem to be three internet connections there, but I have no idea which is the Telewest one. I have asked her how she connected, but she has had the connection a while, and doesn't remember (she knows less about this sort of thing than I do).

Am I missing something? How hard can it be to connect PCs to a perfectly good internet connection via a router?

Please help!
