Hi Sol,
Thanks for the link. I just called BT broadband and threatened to close all my accounts with them unless they helped me. (I am a business user and have a resonable account with them). They then told me that my router had to be set up first with my PC before I could use it with Nintendo. However, the sales man in Maplins told me that on no account should I connect the router to my PC at any time. I should just take it out of the box and use it as it is. I am going back to Maplin tomorrow to ask for advice and also to buy a non-cross over cable.
If this does not work then I will cancel my BT broadband connection, go back to 56K modems and get a refund from Maplin and PC World. I admit that modems are slow but at least they do work for all my PCs and laptops and also allow my son to play PSO which is his major hobby.
I am assuming that you have managed to get PSO online with broadband. What did you type into the boxes on the PSO setup page. PPOE or DHCP?
Thanks for the help it is greatly appreciated all the same.
Life used to be so much less complicated back in the 1960's!! I used to have a clockwork train set and that never crashed or had system errors.
Thanks
Mimas
