Oh well , I have a installed everything correctly. Plugged the modem wire up to the router and everything lite up. I then put the wireless PCI card into my computer and disabled my onboard LAN (nf7-s) and uninstalled it's drivers. I installed the new cards drivers and it does show it working. Though I can't get on the internet and when I check the IP it's a LAN based one ie : 198.193......... I hit repair and it says it's fixed but it doesn't help at all. Any ideas would much be appreciated. OH and also , I'm right nextdoor to the router so it's not like I'm far. Maybe 13ft..

I'm somewhat new to networking.....so no clue what that means. I've networked manytimes , though this is my first time doing it with wireless. Everyone I've talked to said it was just as simple as if I were using cat5. Usually I just hook everything up and bam , it's online.
Found my problem , I guess you have to type in the whole 192.168 or something like that to configure the router , and enable radio I guess. Only question I have now is , do I have to be hardwired to the router to configure it or can I configure it with my wireless?
198.193
That would be a WAN IP, not a local IP. Sounds like your associating to someone elses AP, or someone has inputted a static IP from another location. Work laptop? Anyway, do an ipconfig /all and copy/paste to the thread here.

I'd more then love to paste what I see. I'm at work right now and well I moved my computer into my room , reason I got the wireless. I looked at the lynksis site and they said to configure the router for wireless I need to type in 192.168.1.1 and then enable radio.

That is a setting on my netgear router. I have it set so that you can only access the router via a hardwired connection.
Don't forget to change the password on the router.
