Default ME broadband and a router

I've had cable broadband directly connected to my ME puter for about a year
now.
No problems with the link..
However I'm now putting a router (DLink DI-604) in the picture. (To share
internet with 2 other puters)
So far I've been unable to get on the internet when using the router.
I've ran the wizard and all the stuff I can locate from the ME help files..
I'm in some deep water here guys and I'd appreciate some insight from the
old hands using these things.

Tks,
RTS

Default ME broadband and a router

Can you connect to the internet using the other computers?
are you connecting OK to the router? (can you open the router's
configuration interface in IE?)
does the router claim to be connected? - if not, then the PC has no chance!
usually, the internet connection has to go to a specific port on the
router - the others can be swapped around - make sure that it's connected to
the right one.
Is the router compatible with your ISP (who is your ISP?)?

Try this
Reset your router to manufacturer's configuration (RTFM for that! - look
here - http://www.dlink.com/products/defaul...d=DI-604&tab=3)
Make sure that the PC and Internet connections are correct, then go to IE
and try typing 192.168.0.1 into the address bar - if the page opens, then
enter ther username and password (usually admin is the username - the
password is left blank
Enter any required information in the setup fields manually

and then Save the configuration and reboot the router - you should be good
to go.
(It frequently helps to uninstall any ISP-supplied configuration software
prior to this, as it gets in the way, mostly!)

Tks, Noel,
you got the magic number (192.168.0.1) I'd been using the wrong set of
numbers.
possibly lack of other puters on the router might be some of the problem.
(I haven't added any yet, but will have 3 when all done..)
according to the little lights on the cable modem and the router their
jabbering all the time.
both wan and port 1 lights flashing off and on several times each minute.
even more so when i try to access the internet.

I'd guess the router isn't set right for this puter, my son was the last
one to use the thing and that was about 6 years ago..
basicly the same kind of hookup though. Cable with 2 puters.

Thanks again,
RTS

How well I know the feeling that poor old Rocky has. I still have not
hooked up my DLink 784 wireless router to this machine........but still
trying to sort out some puzzling things Willy did.

Would the free program "Network Magic" help Rocky out?? I don't have the
link, but do have it downloaded......someone on here recommended it.

PA Bear helped me out with removing IE8 cuz I couldn't open pictures, but I
am having bad luck with reinstalling my *.dbx files. Willy put his company
name at the top of that tree instead of my name and I am wondering if that
is why. I think I am going to have to take it over to him to fix up. I
have no Cookie or Temp. Internet File folders and that bugs me. I can
remove them via the back door but figure after what I paid that it should be
the same as before.....but then I was always rather picky, grin.

Tks all those that offered help..
Got it working (I think) least wise the internet is available now through
the router..
FYI: I wasn't holding the reset down long enough to "reset" the router.
then noticed that unless I rebooted the ME puter the changes didn't take
effect.

Once I did all that, access is now working to the internet..

Tks again Noel for pointing in the right direction...
