ME broadband and a router
Glad I was able to point you in the right direction - good luck!
-- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "RockyTSquirrel" wrote in message ... 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... RTS "RockyTSquirrel" wrote in message ... 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 "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... 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!) HTH -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "RockyTSquirrel" wrote in message ... 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 |

I'm in some deep water here guys and I'd appreciate some insight from the old hands using these things. U.S. cable modems generally look for the MAC address of the connected equipment, and assign the IP address per the MAC address. If the account is only for one IP address per MAC address, putting a router in place instead of a computer changes the MAC address seen by the modem, and you won't get an IP address from the modem. Normally, you can clear the modem table (it is, apparently, kept in volatile memory) by removing power briefly, or using a reset button (normally only on modems with telephony capability). In my experience, remove power from the cable modem first. Then power down the computer. Then disconnect the Ethernet cable between them. Then add the router. Connect the modem to the router, and then connect the computer(s) to the router. Power up the modem (or reset, if a telephony modem). Wait for the panel lights to settle into normal working mode. Power up the router. Wait for the panel lights to settle into working mode. Power up the computers last. If using a wireless LAN, the power up sequence does not change; even though you won't be connecting Ethernet cables. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
