could be about a million things start by making sure your router is configured as a DHCP server. Make sure there are no other DHCP servers running on your network. Check your laptop tcp/ip settings are set to "obtain an IP automatically"
etc etc

if you aint have something really important on one of your computers in your network, you can go with MAC-filtering better then with WEP-keys.

use your recovery cd to reformat your router, it probably has a corrupt activex server or invalid cos/tan lookup tables. if that doesn't work, you might have stateful packet correction turned on, and it could be interferring with your IEEE 409.x authentication protocols. if that's the case, just disable address translation, and pipe everything to /dev/null.

is it one of those really shite BT ones? ive had problems like that - if you turn the computer off and on again, while leaving the router and modem switched on, you lose the connection. its all down to the order you turn things on in. wierd, but several other people I know have had the same sort of crap.

"if you aint have something really important on one of your

mac filtering is NOT a replacement for WEP exnceyption.
if you are just running mac filtering and no web encrpytion, it would take seconds to sniff wifi frames for a valid mac address, and set mine accordingly.

It's not a difficult question; I wasn't aware you were in Cardiff, I thought you were in America. How long have you been in Cardiff?
