Ok Let me introduce myself, I am not a network IT professional. I have some knowledge but enough to cause trouble.
With that being said...
I was asked to change the pass word to access the wireless internet at the local Library. Not knowing the IP the router was set to there was little I could do. The librarian said that nothing is on the router so I could just reset the firm ware.
Well after I did that she remembered that the entire internet for the network is routed through it's firewall then into the main switch board. Well we now have no internet and I am very frustrated.
My question is, I know the problem is with the D-Link wifi router but i don't know how to fix it since I don;t know what it was set to before. And if I can't fix how can I move on and set it to what I want and get inter net on the network. The net work is running Server 2003 with the latest updates and has only 3 purposes -1 to back up the library software and- 2 to to run Follet software to 3 client computers and -3 the internet.

Thank you for the help in advance.
