Make and model of router? Laptop?

The router is an ActionTEC GT704-WG and the laptop is a ThinkPad A20M.

Have you tried getting to the router using the Ethernet port?

The ActionTEC combo box appears to have had some issues and not very good reviews.  It does not appear to have full (WEP/WPA/WPA2) wireless encryption support.

When I installed DSL at my other home in Colorado, I opted for the simple DSL modem and hooked a D-Link wireless router to it.

You should be able to use the GENMAC command line utilities in \genmac\bin to at least test things and maybe even get it going.  I would also consider deleting the GENMAC widget, making sure that you have a good copy of xwlan installed, and then adding the widget back in.  You can get the latest copy of xwlan from the eCS 2.0 CD or http://wlan.netlabs.org/en/site/downloads.xml
