Failing to set up wireless network

Have tried & failed to set up my Actiontec Gateway & adapte to connect to
Internet

My Realtek modem works fine.

Pings OK, settings are on automatic detection of IP etc, no Proxy server.

OS is XP with Firewall, but I have tried it without the Firewall.

Any ideas?

We need more info then just "Have tried & failed to set up my Actiontec
Gateway & adapte to connect to Internet"

Have you tried connecting your gateway to your modem and then wiring your PC
to the gateway and see if that works? You need to narrow the problem. Once
you have connected via ethernet cable to your gateway, log into it and set
it up. Are you using PPPOE or Static IP or another configuration? Your
Provider will tell you if you dont know. You will have to initially set your
gateway for those setting and place your user name and password in it, if
not a static IP.

Once you get your gateway working via wired networking, then progress to the
wireless step.

Iv'e tried both PC USB-gateway & wireless connection. Neither works. The
modem is connected to the gateway in both scenarios. I have used the static
IP address provided by the gateway maker.

Got another computer, or a friend with a laptop? It would be handy to try it
with a hardwire connection, and at least narrow down if it is the
modem/connection or your machine for sure.

When I do debugging, first thing I try is a laptop with ethernet/direct
cable connect. Did you try it cabled?
