Router set up

[scott]

Hi,

   I purchased a DI-524 Wireless Router today and I am having problems 
connecting my desktop with Kubuntu 5.10 to the router.  I tried going 
through all the router documentation and went to D-Links website and 
could not find any help.  I also went to the wiki, and even though there 
is a fair amount about wireless connectivity, there is nothing about 
simply connecting a computer to the router.

    Everything seems fine until I get to the point where I need to type 
the IP of the router in the browser.  The browser keeps on telling me it 
can't find the address.

   My desktop is a dual boot Kubutnu/Win XP so I went into the Windows 
XP and was able to get the router working; but the CD install did not 
work, I had to use the quick guide instructions.  So, I now the unit is 
working, but of course I want it to work in Kubuntu which is my main OS.

   I also have a laptop and I purchased a DWL-G630 wireless card to go 
with the router.  I was originally able to get a connection with the 
router before I set it up, but now I can't seem to.  The laptop is also 
running Kubuntu 5.10.  When I go to Network Connection I notice the 
wireless card is showed disabled; the same is true with the PC's 
ethernet card.  When I go into administrator mode and select enable the 
card simply reverts back top enabled; so, I don't know if I need to 
enable it some how.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
