Waterford, MI | You should NOT have any device on your LAN using an IP address (not subnet) that ends in 0 or 255 (e.g. 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.255). Only use IP addresses that end between '1' and '254'.
Your ISP's subnet is whatever they want it to be, and will be discovered by your Linky when it performs its DHCPDISCOVER.
To help, try these settings:
Your LAN subnet should be 255.255.255.0
Your Linky's LAN IP address should be 192.168.1.1
Your PC's IP address should be 192.168.1.5
Your PC's subnet should be 255.255.255.0
Your PC's DNS servers should be the ones that the Linky shows in its "Setup" or "Status" tab.
Your PC's Default Gateway should be 192.168.1.1
You should not need WINS on your PC.
Your PC's name (on DNS tab) can be whatever you want, but try to restrict it to "common" characters. (e.g. 0-9, a-z, A-Z).
Can you ping your router's LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1?
Can you ping your router's WAN IP (shown in the "Status" tab of the Linky)?
Can you ping www.dslreports.com?
If you can ping 192.168.1.1, then you can get to the router.
If you can ping www.dslreports.com, then you're getting there, and it may be a problem specific to mIRC.
Let us know.
