    Hi all

    I have being using a ZyXel Prestige 630 modem I got on sign up to UTVinternet's Clicksilver package some 4 years ago. It has served me well, with no problems to report.
    I now have a laptop with wireless connection and have acquired a Belkin N Wireless Modem Router. I purchased it in the north and it's for "BT Connections" but i was assured that was simply the RJ11 rather than cable connection. I disconnected the cable (with DSL filter attached) and connected this into the back of the Belkin. Everything seems fine (the wired, router and adsl buttons all light up) and the setup wizard says they are ok. However I cannot get connected to the internet. I have used VPI = 8, VCI = 35, LLC, PPpoE, when asked but still cannot get connected. PC is a Dell Dimension 5150 using XP.
    Any help welcomed

    i had a problem like this with belkin wireless drivers before. I solved it like this.

    try goin to Start --> Run

    Type Services.msc

    a list of your currently running services shoud appear

    go to the bottom of the list. The "Wireless Zero Configuration" process should have status "Started". If it doesnt try manually starting it to see if this is the problem.

    To resolve I had to uninstall any programs that came with the Belkin BUT make sure the drivers are kept.

    You might want to run a virus scan also to be safe. Hope this helps.

    Whats the home page of the Belkin saying - is it showing that you are synicing with UTV?
