Hi.
I recently got a new pc and this is the problem. I keep getting booted from the internet. chat programs suddenly go offline etc.

I have a cable connection that then leads to a belkin router because my son's pc is catching the wireless connection from it. my pc with the problem/issues is hooked by a cable into the belkin wireless g router in one of the secondary ports. --confusing--

My question is: do i need to configure the network in xp for this connection or is it automatic. i am really sorry if my question is confusing. I am not really sure how else to ask. 

What should my settings in windows network connections be?

thanks for any input,
cali
