I recently moved to college and my roommates and I decided to go to a wireless internet. We followed the instructions and our network was complete. However, the following day we were unable to sign on to American Online Instant Messenger... When I open my link information, it says I am connected to the interent, but then for a fraction of a second, it says I am disconnected, then it connects again... This is really frustrating and if someone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated...

yeah processes is a very nfity thing

your router may be timing in and out

Update your firmware

192.168.0.1 generally

actually 192.168.1.1 generally. with blank user and password of admin. NOOO, i didn't just get admin access to a wireless router on campus here doing that with an unauthorized computer. yes, that means i could infect otherwise safe campus comptuers. make sure you use WEP and MAC address to filter who is allowed on the network and who isn't. college netadmins aren't usually too happy about people allowing unauthorized access to their networks
