Hi,
the possibilities are endless, based on the information you've given so far.
1. 'Log in' to what? Is one of your PCs a server? Or do you mean to connect to the Internet?
2. 'not able to connect' Do you get error messages and if so, what are they? Or do you just get the famous 'DNS server error' message?
3. Have you tried (temporarily) connecting the living room PC to the router with a normal cable? If you do this (and it works) then the problem is now isolated to the wireless connection. If you do this (and it still doesn't work) then most likely its a problem with how you've got your network configured and may not be anything to do with the wireless part.

There are plenty of people who can help, but we'll/they'll need better info first.

Good luck

hi yutenyi,

thanks for your reply. actually, i am not sure about networking things. my hubby is doing it. he is having exam and projects on hand, so he has KIV it.

sorry that i did not said it clearly. when i say log in, i mean connected to the internet. I heard him saying that it need to assign IP address. But i thought IP is assign automatically, isnt it?

I called up the technical help and they told me is becos the router did not assign the IP address. Nothing wrong with the wireless USB adapter...

still would like to thank for your help... shall wait for my hubby and hope
to dissolve this thing easily

Hi,
No prob. What version of windows are you on? XP Home, XP Professional, 2000 ? Are you using the Starhub Maxonlne service, with the Motorola route/wireless?
Let me know, and I'll see if I can email to you some screen shots that may (or maybe not ) guide you towards an answer.

Good luck
