I managed to connect the router without any problems, and the wired
connection to the PC is producing a steady internet connection.
However, when I try to connect to the wireless network, I get a message
on the remote laptop saying that the connection has run into problems
and there is limited functionality because "The network did not assign
a network address to the router".
This is Greek to me, so if nayone would be kind enough to make some
suggestions, I'd be very grateful!
