Problems setting up wireless home network with Vista and Linksys?

We have recently purchased a new laptop with Vista to replace an old pc. As several family members have laptops (also vista) we decided to set up a wireless network using a Linksys wireless G router. I connected the ethernet wires as instructed and had to set up the router manually as a PPPoE. This appeared fine the internet worked through the hardline but when I went to log on wirelessly there was no network detected. I then used the CD set up disk to change the settings and the network appeared but it is not possible to connect to the internet. the network is a stand alone network for file sharing. The laptop hard wired into the router has internet but it says that this is on another network. After mapping the networks the modem is not connecting the wireless network to the internet.


I have tried resetting things several times and am stuck.


Help would be appreciated

Any number of things could be wrong....from the router settings to the laptop settings.

Reply:i don't think u can hook a wireless router up to a laptop bc most of the newer ones have wireless. but idk I'm not a computer genius.
