NEED HELP W/ WIRELESS !!

I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS !!!!!!!!!
-WANT TO SET UP WIRELESS W/ CABLE MODEM- HP LAPTOP / WINDOWS XP HOME
-HAVE LINKSYS WPC54G NOTEBOOK ADAPTER AND ROUTER WRT54G
-INSTALLED BOTH, ROUTER FIRST, THEN CD FOR NTBK, THEN NTBK ADAPTER ITSELF...
SLOW TO WORK, CONNECTED...I TURNED THE LAPTOP OFF AND REBOOTED, IT WOULDNT
CONNECT WIRELESSLY... CRASH COURSED THROUGH INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING THE
SOFTWARE FOR THE NTBK ADAPTER, TRYING TO LET WINDOWS DETECT THE ADAPTER ...
STILL IS NOT WORKING. NTBK ADAPTER SEES THE WIRELESS NETWORK BUT IS UNABLE TO
CONNECT.

UNINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE... THEY TOLD ME TO CALL MICROSOFT.

There is a hint in the above sentence. If you tried multiple devices from
reputable manufacturers, and it does not work, the problem is you. Read the
manual and the windows help files. Search Google for wireless network
howtos. There are many good tutorials that will result from a Google
search.
