Windows 7: Getting router to work in W7

Correct.. Your Windows 7 is on the main machine which is cable connected to you router.

and yes back to my first problem.. Only minus the last 2 paragraphs of trying to update problem..

But, I unfortunately I must be off to work.. So hopefully you can give me advice, but I won't be able to respond until about 6 tonight..

From machine go to command prompt and do an ipconfig /all

Look for your Ethernet Local Area connection, you should have these details.
