| 286038 | 2004-10-29 10:18:00 | Man I should pay more attention to what I type... :D Basically the router wanted to be boss and hand out the ip addresses to the computers on the network. I had my pcs set up with specific addresses and I couldn't connect to or ping the router until I changed the TCP/IP network settings on both pcs to "obtain IP addresses automatically/dynamically". This is an ADSL router btw. |

| 286040 | 2004-10-29 10:20:00 | I will look out for that when I get a router that works | theotherone (1421) | ||
| 286041 | 2004-10-29 10:26:00 | As far as the router goes, it is not able to get a connection to the Modem | theotherone (1421) | ||
| 286042 | 2004-10-29 10:40:00 | Have you looked around here (telstraclear.custhelp.com) | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 286043 | 2004-10-29 10:47:00 | No Rob I Hadn't looked there. I have just had a look and will go back and look again but I am afraid all that computer speak goes right over my head. Cheers, Rob |

| 286044 | 2004-10-30 03:57:00 | Thanks for your posts on this subject MabO and Rob99. I finally got the IP and DNS addresses from Paradise and reset the PC. No problems. Thought I would set up the router manually, seeing the Wizard didn't work and just followed the prompts in the book that came with it. Took about 15mins and I am now on the net "Wirelessly". Cool! Only one problem; the router is a 802.11g and is suposed to give access at 54Mbps, but it is only running at 11Mbps. Anyone got any clues? |

| 286045 | 2004-10-30 03:58:00 | Sorry HadO, I was getting you mixed up with that famous Aussie land claim. | theotherone (1421) | ||
| 286046 | 2004-10-30 04:56:00 | Haven't really played with WiFi equipment but... If the router is 802.11g then the system you are using as a client must also be 802.11g (not b) and even if they are both g sometimes a high speed connection can only be acheived if the server (router) and client system use the same brand hardware! |
