677716 2008-06-12 08:03:00 The Thompson modem...

IP Address: 222.154.166.168 (changes every time I restart the modem)
Primary DNS: 202.27.158.40
Secondary DNS: 202.27.156.72
Gateway: 219.89.57.1

Which one would the default be?

The Linksys routers IP is 192.168.2.1

Where am I supposed to put the IP's in?

First page of the configuration (the main one) looks like this

(PPPoE) help.3web.com
(DHCP/Auto) www.columbia.edu

The 222.154.166.168 is your WAN or Internet IP address - which is to do with your ISP, same with both the DNS and Gateway IP addresses. Those aren't what I'm talking about

I mean the local IP address. You can find that out if you connect your thompson directly to your PC

It might be something like 10.1.1.x or 192.168.1.x etc

Well, I took a screenshot of this, maybe this is what you mean?

677718 2008-06-12 08:27:00 Yup I would say thats what Agent was after.

You may have to click on general / properties / TCP/IP and give it an ip manually (change it to use the following ip address, then put an ip address in, which should change it from DHCP to a static IP)

Then the IP shouldnt change, everytime you reboot

And what do I put in for the DNS server? The ones that my modem reported no connectivity to?

This is pretty confusing to me, really. What should I change my routers IP to? Why is the default gateway on that tab different from the one on my embedded modem page?
Kundalini (13860)
677720 2008-06-12 08:40:00 Thats it, for the DNS servers, put these in .

According to the Xtra site ( . co . nz/help/0,,4132-560998,00 . html" target="_blank">xtra . co . nz)

Theyre the same ip addresses you posted in the first post

Primary DNS Settings: Server Assigned (or 202 . 27 . 158 . 40)
Secondary DNS Settings: Server Assigned (or 202 . 27 . 156 . 72)

Make sure the ip address you posted (192 . 168 . 1 . 64), is within the range the router supports

And after you do this reboot see what happens

677721 2008-06-12 08:44:00 Alright, thanks! I'll try all of that and reboot.

Also, the DNS servers are still being reported as having no connectivity. Does that matter?

Umm whats telling you this?

The LAN icon on the taskbar says no connectivity?

It may have been coz it was on DHCP before but now its a static IP it may work.

677723 2008-06-12 09:25:00 The modem can run connectivity tests, and it told me that both DNS servers had no connectivity. Still does, too.

Didn't do anything, besides not allowing me to access those config pages anymore. :horrified

Could you walk me through what I'm supposed to put down in every one of those boxes? I had no no idea setting up this router would be so much trouble.
Kundalini (13860)
677724 2008-06-12 09:32:00 I dont think you have to enable DHCP in the router, disable it

Is 192 . 168 . 1 . 1 the default login ip for the router?

If it is, try changing the default gateway to 192 . 168 . 1 . 1 ( . photobucket . com/albums/v507/diseasedcow/staticIP . png" target="_blank">img . photobucket . com)

Dont forget to reboot / save the settings after

Where did 192 . 168 . 1 . 254 come from?

I dont know what to add in those boxes . I dont have the manual or the modem
