Hi

I'm having trouble connecting to the Internet and was wandering if anyone could help.

Here's a diagram of my home network to save a long description:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...

The ADSL router in that diagram is a BT Voyager 205, and the wireless router is a US Robotics 8054 Turbo Access Point and Router.

The problem is that mum's PC can connect to the Internet with no problems, but the two wirelessly connected computers can't.

All equipment seems to be functioning perfectly normally. However, when accessing the BT Voyager's config utility by using it's IP address in Firefox, it takes a very very long time to load, and sometimes doesn't at all, from either of the two wireless computers.

BT advised my mum to change it's IP address, which she did, and it fixed the problem for no longer than 18 hours, then it started again. Then my brother did something but won't say what he did because he thinks it makes him clever. That worked, but for even less time. Now we're back to square one.

So, can anyone help please?

How many routers are running DHCP? The answer should be 1. Also, why is your mother's PC connected to two routers?
Try static IPs if you can't fix it.

Both routers run DHCP, always have done with no problems at all.

The reason my mum's PC is connected to both routers is to allow her to share documents and her printer with the networked PCs. It was originally only connected to the BT router via USB, but was unable to connect to the rest of the network. The fact that it is connected to both has never caused any trouble in the past.
