By stopping I mean lights went out & the icon (D) in the tray disappeared.
And this was with new firmware from D-Links web site as well.
No longer connects to the internet.

Guess this is what happened.

The lights that indicate it's working disappears
Again the icon in the system tray also disappears, therefore no option
to reconnect.

He is using Verizon DSL so it should be a PPPoE, no?
He called Verizon was told it is a PPPOE
You say ' not with all' please explain? Not all DSL are PPPoE?
Then how do we determine which to pick?

He disconnected everything, the PC, the router & the modem.
He did reset the router per instructions to set it to default.
Redid everything per their instructions still not able to get onto the
internet.

As I said after he enter his Verizon username & password it jumb pass these
screens therefore he could not change any of those settings.

Honestly I can not recall right now. I'll have to ask my son about this.
I was not there but helping him by phone.

We started this last Friday night when he first started to have this
problem.
He did uninstalled everything & went step by step to reinstall to have the
same
problems. Come Saturday have both the Quick Install Guide & the full manual
in front of us walked him through connecting everything. With same results.
Here are the steps taken:
1. entered http://192.168.0.1 in address box 2. Typed 'admim' for username
3. D-Link's home page appears to 'Run Wizard'. 4. Next you do nothing it's
just to tell you are now in the setup wizard. 5. Set up new password.
6. Choose Time Zone. 7.Auto Dectecting Wan 8. Select Internet Connection
Type (Wan) He selected PPPoE. 9. Set PPPoE, entering the username & password
Verizon gave him. Clicking on next took him to a screen he could not make
out
because it wouldn't download properly. There were no back, next or the exit
button
to get out of it. From the manual the next 2 screens should have been the
setup
for the Lan connections & to restart the computer.
As of now I don't remember how he got out of that screen. Have to ask my
son.

He rebooted just in case everything was correct & tried to surf on internet
to see
if there was a internet connection this time, there was none.

Let me ask you this, since all he did was select PPPoe, entered a username &
password would this effect his XP, change any settings within?
Is there some place on this computer that we can check & the reason why I'm
asking you this, in the instuctions it said to 'remove any existing PPPoE
client
software installed on the computer'. Could this be our problem & how do you
do this? Where do we go to find this?

As I said earlier we spent hours on Saturday till blinded before we decided
the
best was to just quit. I feel bad because this was a Christmas gift so that
his
wife could have her own computer which was my son's old one (98se).
so I went out & bought both the router & adapter. When that crapped out all
our focus was on that to try to get it to work again. To why we directed our
focus on the router setup thinking that could be the problem with the
adapter.
Everyone we know who has wireless have XP computers, took theirs right
out of the box, connected them with no problems at all. Except most have
cable
not DSL.

I hope I answered everything. Sorry for being long winded in my
explainations.
Thanks for your help.

Diane
