Expert Problem

[Storm]

wait, i got the manual........

[tesco]

you are ahving this problem becuase you haven't setup the route to connect to the net properly. You are plugging the modem into a lan port, which pretty much makes the router into a hub cause your bypassing the router features.

anyway, without getting too much into that:

hook up the modem to teh WAN port, hook up any computers u have to the lan ports.

go into teh router config page, find the page where u configure the wan, then set it all up to match your ISP settings.

Now te router makes the connection for you, you don't have to use any diaups or anything like that, it does it all for you so u just turn on teh computer and the net is on.

Can you tell me what type of internet connection you have ? Does it use PPPoE?
Or maybe a link to your providers site?

@ rossco: do i hook it up via patch cable or via crossover? my guess would be patch, but just 2 b sure........

@ virtualbody, my isp's site is in dutch......... and its a REALLY crappy site.......

but its ADSL, PPPoE, 1120/352 kpbs connection......

Patch cable.

[tesco]

ya use a patch cable, it's what im using works fine.

ok go into teh router config, choose pppoe, insert your password and login and any other info that may be required (im not too familiar with pppoe, i just select dynamic and am done with it {using cable internet})

[Storm]

What is saying "No connection"?

If you are trying to access the modem directly from your pc, this will fail if you've got the modem correctly connected. I'm guessing this is what you are trying to do because of the successful methods you've been discussing.

The software to access your modem should no longer be active on your pc. You should have your internet connection set as "Never dial a connection" because you are now connecting externally, so your pc is connecting via a LAN.

So you need to tell the router the username and password (and service name if used) so that the router can do the dialing.

Sorry if you are already trying this, but the fact that you've obviously still got the modem dialup on the pc makes me suspicious that this is where your problem lies.

Try using a friends router if you can to see if that will work. Try Linksys..thats what I got and its great.
