| 286028 | 2004-10-29 09:53:00 | Hi PF1ers, I have finally bought that router I have been talking about and tried to et it up today. 3 minutes the blurb promised. Well, needlless to say It still isn't setup. It appears to be a fault in the Router. However, sinc ethen I have been unable to connect my PC, running W98se, to the internet. I have checked the cable by connecting through my laptop, no probs, but nothing I have tried will connect the PC. Does anyone have any Ideas? I have tried pinging the modem but it isn't seen. $#@%$#^$%%^ computers. Cheers, Rob |

| 286030 | 2004-10-29 10:02:00 | thanks for your reply Rob. No I have kicked the router in to touch for now and am connecting to the net by the ethernet cable. The modem couldn't establish a connection at all. |

| 286032 | 2004-10-29 10:07:00 | Are you having problems with an dial up modem? Or are you connecting to a network that is connected to the internet? I ask as you mentioned you are using an ethernet cable. |

| 286034 | 2004-10-29 10:09:00 | Are you using static ips? I had to get my two pcs to get obtains ip adresses automatically (tcp/ip settings) as the router's DHCP was on by default - I couldn't ping it on its default address or connect for setup until this was done... |

| 286036 | 2004-10-29 10:17:00 | I dont know much if any about Telstra cable setup, all I can say is make sure you are using the correct cable, as there are two types: crossover and patch or straight through. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 286037 | 2004-10-29 10:17:00 | As I said before the problem I am having now is with the settin gs in the computer. I have disconnected the router because it appears to be faulty. I am having problems with the settings in the PC. Which shouldn't have changed. However as I cannot ping the cable modem, it would appear that they have changed. Rob |
