As you appear to be using Virgin,  try using their DNS server IP addresses rather than the routers IP in the DNS address box(s).  Theses are:

194.168.4.100
194.168.8.100

If easynet doesn't allow you to put more than one entry in, just use the first one.

Also, have you tried pinging your router once easynet says its online?  Its been a while since I last used it, but I'm pretty sure the Easynet installer installs AmiTCP's ping and traceroute commands.  

Bring up an Amiga shell window, and type ping 192.168.0.1  

If you get replies, you are connected to your Network at least.  If not you will get either 'destination host unreachable' If you have no connectivity at all, or 'request timed out' if you have partial connectivity but there is some configuration problem.

Ihave pinged my router here is a pic of the results.

Just re-installed Easynet to give it a go for you.  You're not getting any replies, which means you are not connected to your router.  I got the same result by pulling out my Ethernet cable (I have a PCMCIA ethernet card rather than a wireless one).

The settings you have in your video look pretty similar to mine.

From another computer that is connected okay, double check the router IP you have is correct. On a Windows PC, bring up a DOS prompt, type 'ipconfig' or 'ipconfig /all' and check the gateway address.  On a Mac, its very similar, bring up Terminal (in applications/utilities), at the prompt type 'ifconfig'

If all the settings are correct, connect to your router from your PC/Mac etc, and check the wireless settings.  The card you have might not like working in a multi mode environment (eg having both 802.11b and 802.11g enabled).  Try setting the router to 802.11b only, as this is almost certainly all the card will support.  Before doing so though, be aware that if your PC etc is using wireless it may not like 802.11b!  You may find you need to re-set the router or use an ethernet cable if your PC loses connectivity at this point.
