    connect the router to the computer with a network cable instead of wireless at first - the network cables with the eircom package are the yellow ones

    connect the purple phone cable from the wall socket to the router
    power it on make sure it synchs ( dsl led will flash a few times and then go solid indicating a connection )
    next connect the router to the laptop with the yellow cable

    that should be it

    try internet explorer

    remove purple cable from the wall, plug it into the DSL socket on your splitter and plug the splitter into the wall. I know it probably wont make any difference but you might as well use the splitters seeing as they gave them to you...

    If you get no joy using the yellow network cable, try the USB cable. I've had a few of those netopia boxes that just refuse to work with ethernet no matter what I do.
