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...

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

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!)

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,

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.

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.

Maybe we should make up a list of birthdays with month and day ONLY......for
all of the OLD regulars who still secretly meet here, lol.

And then again, maybe not. I had to laugh at one I got (Mart you forgot
mine too).....but it was from one of my favourite websites
saying......."Happy Birthday from Old Versions"

That made my day. (G)

I think I've got most of them apart from Heirloom, which reminds me haven't
seen him around here for ages I'll have to drop him a line, and Mart but I
think he is 29th July if I remember correctly, have to wait for him to
confirm.

I like that one for you from the "Old Versions" site g

Have you got that router set up yet and when are you coming over to the
Windows 7 side gI'm looking forward to getting my copy in October I've got
the partition ready for it.
