461342 2006-06-07 07:29:00 Hey People :)

I have just got a D-Link DI-707P Ethernet BB Router off a friend and I am trying to install it, I connected the ADSL modem (D-Link DSL 302G v2) into the WAN port and connected my PC into port 1 and tried going into the setup (192.168.0.1) and it came up with not being able to find it...

Thanks :)

461343 2006-06-07 07:58:00 try manually setting your LAN IP address to 192.168.0.2 Greven (91)
461344 2006-06-07 08:41:00 Under what setting, IP Properties, General or Alternate? The_End_Of_Reality (334)
461345 2006-06-07 09:33:00 I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. go into the properties of your network card (in Control Panel --> Network Connections) go into Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties & set your IP address there Greven (91)
461346 2006-06-07 09:57:00 Ok, what about the DNS? The_End_Of_Reality (334)
461347 2006-06-07 10:07:00 You can leave your ip address and dns servers set to automatic like i do and it cause no trouble at all.That way you dont have to bother finding all those numbers. Hitech (9024)
461348 2006-06-07 10:11:00 I thought so...

BUT, when I connected 2 PCs to it (port 1&2) it said limited connectivity on one PC and could not connect on the other... and the net was down on both (worked fine with just my PC on port 1... for a SHORT time)

I just tried it again, and the network connection just kept connecting and then disconnecting (1 PC connected) so fast I could not do anything on the net...

461349 2006-06-07 10:19:00 You have to set both pcs to the same setting (automatic) i take it you are using wireless, im using wireless in the lounge and living room with no probs at all, you might have to click on repair on the wee computer at the bottom right hand corner of your screen to fix this problem it usually fixes it.

461350 2006-06-07 10:29:00 Yes, they are set to the same...

No, I am not, there are only 7 Ethernet ports and they are all wired...

The last time I tried (10 mins ago) with only my PC connected the connection just kept staring and stopping (it was connecting fine, just acting like the cable was getting pulled out the back repeatedly...)

I think I will try to get one PC working first...

EDIT Here (www.dlink.com) is the product spec of the router...

461351 2006-06-07 11:08:00 I thought that perhaps the last owner had disabled thte DHCP server.

Try resetting it to factory settings - if there is a problem with DHCP, or the IP of the router was changed, that should fix it.
