| 532906 | 2007-03-14 23:09:00 | If you haven't already got a good solid understanding of the LAN environment you are trying to create I suggest you look at this: www.pcstats.com 1st steps 1st is to ensure you can get the DSL connection working in it's most basic setup, i.e. the ADSL router just talking to your PC. In this scenario your PC will have the XTRA details configured and the ADSL router should be setup to act like a modem (pass through everything). Once you've got Internet connectivity you can then move into setting up the LAN confident that any problem isn't one at XTRAs end. From what I think you are describing your LAN setup to do, you will need to configure the ADSL Router with the XTRA details (IP address DNS subnet mask etc) and not put this on your 1st computer. The Router should also act as a DHCP server and gateway for all your PCs so you will need to configure the router to do this, and configure all PCs to use DHCP. The router may also offer other features such as firewalling, VPN, site blocking (and many more) so you need to be careful not to end up inadvertently blocking access by getting too fancy with these options and rules. You should definitely run a personal firewall on each of the PCs all the time and not rely on the router to protect you. Hope this helps ... |

Dial up connection will have nothing to do with ADSL lan connection If we start form the beginning with the correct information this set-up should be easy as plugging in a few cables |

| 532908 | 2007-03-15 03:01:00 | On the other PC,s go to Control Panel>Internet Options>connections, remove any dial-up entry's, click LAN Settings, and place tick in Automatically detect settings. It sounds like it is something like that, that would cause the problem, especially if they were previously using dialup.. |
