    sorry, i forget one point,

    even in the IE address bar, use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, which is not useful at all,

    IE can not open the web page

You need to get into the routers settings (192.168.1.1 in your web browser) and look for DHCP, and enable it so as to give your pc's there automatic ip addresses, also check in the general settings if it's a modem router that you have got a internet connection from your ISP and all the dns and ip addresses are showing. Go to the properties of each network card in network connections in your control panel and click on the TCP/IP line and click properties again and ensure obtain ip address automatically is selected and click ok. Restart all pc's if neccasary and refresh your web browser when trying to get online.

    did you follow the rest of the instructions, before you rated as this support as not helpfull, as it helps if you give all the information first.

    You need to connect via a cable to set up and turn on the wireless first, if you cannot get into the router, then you must have changed the host ip address or the routers firmware is corrupt, in which case you will need to reset the router and start again.

The connection is limited

If you get a 'Limited connectivity" on you wirelessconnection on your laptop, it means that the wireless card on your laptopprobably did not get an IP address from the wireless router.
To fix this problem, right click on the wireless icon on the Task bar and thenclick Repair.
This will force the wireless router to issue a IP address to the wireless cardon the laptop.

3Com® OfficeConnect Cable/Dsl Wireless router not responding

Unless, you can try another computer to connect or there is a tiny (and I mean sometimes pinhole) reset button to push, it may have seen its last day. It has happenned to me and I picked up a little 35 dollar Belkin that worked great.

3com linkbuilder TP/8 I bought a used 3com linkbuilder TP/8 and have no manual. Is this a wireless router? at the back there is BNC port. What is it for? Thank you

I am pretty sure what you have is an ethernet hub..not a wireless router. It would be used as a distribution site for a shared network. The BNC port is a connection for coaxial cable.
