I'm looking for help in setting up a laptop to a linksys wireless
router. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to get started since there's a
different IP address each time I access the internet. Can someone
give me an idea how to get started? Thanks!

Why are you concerned about the IP address?
What version of Windows?
What model router?
Is the router yours?

did you not get a manual with the router. I used a Linksys router for
years and found the manual to be very useful.

Good Luck

I was thinking I had to go to the IP address page in order to initiate
the setup. Maybe that's not correct...

Its windows XP and a WRT54G Linksys router. Yes its mine, it was
previously setup with a provider that had static IP addresses, but now
we have a satellite provider and has a dynamic IP address.

I do not have my manual any more (I deleted it when I replaced it). I
am thinking that you might get some help by contacting the satellite
company if that is possible. I that you could enable Dynamic IP by
clicking a box in the setup--but, I have not done that for at least 6
years and am not sure I am correct.
