Linksys Wireless WRT54G2-Not Connecting

[impishkitten904]

I'm attempting to set up a router in my dorm room so my room mates and I can connect. When I plug the router into the network it picks up there, and when I plug my computer into the router it picks up there, but when I try to set up the router/network for the room it says the router does not exist, where I am already connected to everything.

Can you connect both computers with a wired connection?

When connected directly to the dorm room network, then again with the router in the picture, please do this on the attached computer.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

The first one is with the router and the second one is with the just the computer's connection.

Well, you have the exact same IP address each time. Since the lease start and end times are identical, I can only conclude that you posted two copies of the same IPCONFIG, not what I asked for.

That's possible I'm sorry, had my roommate doing it while I was in class I'll run it again when I get back to my room. I mean erm...when I get a longer cable, Tuesday, I'll run it again tuesday. But like I said, I'm connected to the network, and the internet with and without the router, but I cant configure the router to be password protected because when I run the config program it says the router does not exist. Wasn't sure if I had made that clear.
