I hooked it up exactly as I was supposed to (I've done these a thousand times).
The net works fine when the modem is plugged directly into the computer - but when I plug the modem into the router and then run an ethernet cable from the router to the computer the net doesn't work.
Windows XP doesn't even recognize that an ethernet cable has been plugged in.
When I used D-link's software to do it and after I manually reset the router it recognizes that a cable is plugged in but it won't access the internet. When it tries to reset the internet connection it fails every time because it can't find an IP... or something like that.
Help me out guys - it's my girlfriend's dad's computer - I need to impress him
.
Thanks in advance.
