ok
My cousin needed me to hook up his router and get the 2 comps on the internet.
He has Sympatico hi-speed internet

ok i hooked eveything up right i got the modum hooked up to the router then the two comps hooked into the router.
Now the problem

I cant seem to get the router to give out those fucking IP addresses that you need.

If one comp is hooked into the just the modom the internet will work. Now when i put it through the Router then it wont work.

The two comps can see eachother over the network but I cant seem to get the internet wroking.

I ran "cmd"

then cheecked the ipconfig and i made the ip addresses all 0 then i went to renew and it wouldent. Damit

Im stuck i need some help here

ty if any

1st: what brand of router is it.

2nd: make sure DHCP is turned on and set up.

past that, give me the brand, and I might be of more help.

Is it DSL that he is hooked up with? If so, is it a DSL router? If it is DSL and its not a DSL router than thats the problem. Check the router for firmware upgrades and check the cables your using as well.

if it did not renew then it is a DHCP problem. I recomend changing the defualt sub-nets that the router wishes to use to something like 192.168.101.XXX. this way you can be sure that it is working. P.S. one router i worked with had a pacticaly hidden check box to enable the DHCP try looking for it.

Best of Luck!

its a D-link router

I will try that DHCP thing but i will probly have problems for this is the first time i have dont this. Bob if its ok i might be calling you on Friday sometime because thats when im going back

ty for the help all.

P.S. Dont think its DSL its Sympatico Hi-Speed

I thought Sympatico was DSL... I know they do dial-up, and I thought they did DSL as well.

Which D-Link model is it? I'm familiar with almost all of their firmwares, and might be of more help. Although their firmwares are usually very graphic and easy to use.

yes Sympatico High-Speed is DSL. I stole a bell DSL Line Filter to prove it!

well since i dont have the router with me its kinda hard to tell ya what one it is.

ok, well when ya find out, if you still need help...

I leave for 1 day and you can't figure it out

Matt what you have to do since it is DSL is in the router config enter user name and password and done.

If you can do lan things just fine then your DHCP is fine

If not then yes turn it on.

The router needs sympatico's username and password to connect to sympatico

Put that in and make sure your interior lan is working and you'll be set.

not nessaceraly. 2 windows machines could still work together if the dhcp was down. Windows sets its own network up in the 168 band. A hardware Router is, after all a gloified switch.

I also asumed that matt would have already entered a username/password before coming to the board for help.

as did I, that's the first step. I don't take Matt for a fool, so I figured he had done that...

Take nothing for Granted I say

If you are new to the router world then you have to learn some how.
