1. Ahhhh - you need to change the login password to the ISP on the WAG54G -
it is doing the connection to the ISP, not your PC. This probably explains
why you can't connect to the net through the WAG54G.
2. Is 109.113.132.134 in the range reserved for local subnet addresses? The
192.168.x.x range definitely is, but I'm not sure about 109.113.x.x and I'm
not sure what the effect of using it would be. I would stick with the
192.168.x.x range, at least until you've got it working again.
3. Get the wired connection working first, before moving on top the wireless
connection. If you can't connect to the WAG54G (using a wired connection)
then this implies that your PC IP address isn't recognised as part of your
subnet by the WAG54G. Are you using DHCP - on both the WAG54G and your PC?
Or if you are allocating the IP address statically then is it set to a
suitable value?
4. If you still aren't connected then I would be tempted to reset the WAG54G
(hold the reset button down for 10 secs) and then re-enter al parameters.
You will need to know your ISP username, password, VPI and VCI - your ISP
can tell you suitable values for these.
