Ethernet cables connected the wireless router to the modem and to the computer. A few days ago my friend had the service replaced and in doing so a technician replaced the modem and left the wireless router out of the loop. When I replaced the wireless router again between the modem and the computer I could send and receive wirelessly from my computer but my friend's computer could do neither. The connections were made using the same ethernet cables that had been used before. Removing the wireless router from between the modem and the computer restored the ability for my friend to send and receive. A number of attempts were made trying to insert the wireless router without success. This included powering down for a few minutes and then powering up the modem, the wireless router, and the computer. So, I'd be interested in any suggestions as to how the wireless router can again be made to work and why it no longer works with the new modem. -- James Leo Ryan - Austin, Texas
