Zomby ..
this is the best I can do for you on the connection part.
I have my Belkin router.. hooked up to my sbcglobal> modem (Speedstream)
connected> to the desktop> connected to the Laptop.
I know nothing about .>.Cisco 24 port switch.
Zomby what do you call that thing then ? that has all the plugs in it.. that keeps everything connected on the electrical end.. on the floor near my feet under this desk.
I think you are using you WiFi on you laptop to get on line. Is that correct? You said you went to the other room and it worked so I assume you are using WiFi. To use the router address you need to be running through the lan cable connected to the router. Please advice.

I already informed her of that, thanks.
Zomby.. YES right now I am connected to the electrical power
using the adapter that came with the Laptop...
Should I disconnect from the electricity ?
Zomby would you like to see the screen shot of that belkin page that showed when I typed in those numbers.. you said to type in on my desktop?
I found the address. It is 192,168.2.1 - and here is the tutorial on how to set the WPA2 password: Belkin : Support : Protecting your network with WPA/WPA2 security
