David: For a wireless router Lynksys WRT54GS: As the paper said: "Make your that all your hardware is powered off" 1) Connect your wired computers to the ethernet ports of the routers 2) Connect the Internet port of the router to the device that connects you to Internet (e.g.: your cablemodem) 3) Power on the cable or dsl modem 4) Power on the router 5) Open a browser in your computer and point to http://192.168.1.1/ (the router's default address) - of course, for this give to your computer an address in the network 192.168.1.0/24 6) User name: empty (there is no name for the user) | Password: admin 7) Once the password is entered you will see the administrative interface. I guess that you can continue from here. Ask to your ISP is you will need configure the router to receive the tcp/ip configuration from a dhcp server or you need configure an static ip address. In the tab wireless you can enable/disable wireless access to your router. In the tab Application & Games you can configure need to be forward to some of your workstation (e.g.: your laptop). But if you are connecting to a server and you don't have a server in your home network you don't need forward traffic to your home home network. Remember change the password and change the access to the administrative interface to use https instead of http. Hope this help, Jorge.
