Hi

I have recently joined Sky and received their Netgear wireless router. This came with a CD (which is for a PC, so totally useless), and a very vague installation manual.

I have followed all the installation instructions, have had the phone call from Sky to say my broadband is active and all the appropriate lights are on the router. I have look in System Prefs>Network>Built-In Ethernet, but there is either a red or yellow light next to Ethernet 1, when it should be green to be connected i presume.

I have tried opening Safari to try it, but I can't even type anything in the address bar at the top.

Sorry if I sound a bit stupid but I am not very good with networking etc. Can anyone shed any light on my problem? Do I need any extra hardware to make it work?

Thanks in advance to any help you can give me whatsoever!
Jules
