HI, hope someone can help me. I have just got broadband with tiscali and a wireless router. I put the installation CD in my PC and go through the steps. When it gets to the final step it comes up with an error message, "your computer does not have a static DNS entry". I am completely clueless and don't know what to do. The PC has windows vista if that makes a difference. Can anyone help? Please?!
2) Usually when setting up a router for the first tme you have to do it with a WIRE first, then set up wireless.
Is your laptop connected to your router with a cable ?
3) If you are trying to set up wi fi on your laptop make sure the little switch on the laptop for wifi is turned on. Most (all?) laptops have a switch to turn wi fi on and off.
Personally I would phone Tiscali and ask them for help.
You dont say if you are connected to the router by a wire or not, but I would certainly connect the laptop to the router with a wire FIRST, and get that working, THEN try to get wi fi working.
Trying to get wi fi working on broadband for the first time is just adding an extra layer that you dont need.
Get it working with a wire first, then at least you have proved the broadband is working OK.
