| 1160066 | 2010-12-09 04:28:00 | I meant is it a straight through cable, or cross over? Straight Also when the adsl modem is connected directly to A or B, is the same cable used in both cases? No but I tried both, switching one to the other with the same results |

| 1160067 | 2010-12-09 05:02:00 | I'm sure this has already been looked at both both machines haven't been manually assigned the same IP address have they? | southern_jas (4017) | ||
| 1160068 | 2010-12-09 05:06:00 | No they are set to automatic assign by DHCP | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1160069 | 2010-12-09 05:08:00 | Is the first option under the power management tab (under one or both NIC'S in device manager ticked)?? If it is, untick it . I had a similar prob with this the other day . ADSL kept turning itself off on this . Everytime, I tried to connect it said the DNS servers existed but werent responding . I thought the prob was with Telstra's DNS server ips I'm using . But, since I've unticked the above option . I havent seen the ADSL LED on the router turn off |

| 1160071 | 2010-12-09 21:09:00 | I'm sure this has already been looked at both both machines haven't been manually assigned the same IP address have they? I think it has nothing to do with ip settings etc. The main issue is that the lights on the NIC don't come on when A is connected to B. Are there any auto cross over settings on comp B that can be set? My reason for this is that when A is connected to B using a cross over cable, A's NIC lights are on, but B's aren't. Also try a straight through cable between A and B - the lights should not light up for either. |

| 1160072 | 2010-12-09 21:24:00 | Just a thought. But, I was getting the same results with the new adsl wireless router. I would have a tendency to think that the problem is with the computer. But if that is true why would a direct connection with the adsl modem work? |

| 1160073 | 2010-12-09 21:45:00 | There are two computers hard wired to a wireless router . The adsl modem is wired to the wireless router . One of the computers has internet connection – the other not . It say’s the cable is disconnected Changing the ports & cables made no difference . Connecting the adsl modem directly to the computer works . LAN setting on both computers are identical . LAN setting - it's on AUto? Not manually set to an IP address? |

But if that is true why would a direct connection with the adsl modem work? You said you were using a straight cable to connect the modem to the computer. Normally, I think a modem to computer would need a crossover cable (unless they have auto cross over detect). I think a cross over cable is needed because my modem is plugged into my router's wan port with a straight cable. Have you tried: 1. A straight cable between A and B? 2. a cross over cable between new router and B? (I'm assuming a straight through cable between B and router failed as you mentioned earlier) The fact that the lights on the NIC do not light up indicates a physical problem with either the cable or the connector (such as crossover mix ups etc). |
