u need to find out the ip address of the linkys wireless router.If using xp go to start ->run->type cmd press enter,than at command prompt type ipconfig then enter.If the ip address is 192.168.1.x u need to Disable DHCP in the linlsys and alot ip manually preferably 192.168.0.1 ,this is because the adsl modem has an ip 192.168.1.x which when connected to the linksys causes a race like situation.Change the ip ,connect the lan out of the modem to the wireless ,allot password in the wireless security and enjoy.

Guys , ive managed to link my bsnl modem to my linksys router for net access
Was hell as i was initially trying to use the config CD that came with the rouuter

After reading through this forum , i altered my approach and managed the seemingly impossible (mind u im a novice in networking - although deeply interested in tech)

This forum is a great resource i hope my post will help reduce the hours to set up a home net wifi

So here goes

Following is the scenario fro my home network with internet

wired on my desktop
wireless on my laptop

Following Do's and Donts (how i managed to pull to off after a 6 hrs of ordeal)

No change required on PC for settings ; let it remain as it is for your BSNL DSL modem. I.e. Pc LAN configured to obtain ip automatically

Dont use the linksys config CD , instead just change the linksys routers ip from 198.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1

set ur net connection as DHCP (where u dont need to enter any user name and password)

set up the wireless password and preferably change SSID name (i.e network name as it appears) as ur neighbours may have the same name
