Re: 5360 wan port issues? (prob interfacing w/routers) Hi,
I am a prodigy DSL user and PacBell/SBC provided me with the hardware associated with the DSL connection.
The hardware provided was a Efficient 5360 ADSL modem (060-5360-002) and I run Prodigy Internet 5.5 on a Windows ME/ Windows 2000 machine. When I use either machine with the software provided by Prodigy/PPPoE and modem directly, everything works in terms of a connection.
I am now trying to access the internet with both machines at the same time by using a Linksys BEFSR41 router. Here is where it gets too simple to be true!
I did all the right connections, removed the PPPoE software off the two machines and tried to connect.
When I access »192.168.1.1[?] for the linksys router, it says I am connected and I am able to disconnect too. However, whatever I do, I cannot access any other website, either with the IP address or otherwise and it always returns that I am not connected to the internet.
I have a Intel 10/100 Ethernet card on both machines.
Looks like the connection from Ethernet card to Router (using the »192.168.1.1[?]) is okay as it is accessible.
Also, the router says it is able to connect between the router and the modem (connect/ disconnect to ISP).
Prodigy DSL support bolts from me when they hear the word "router". Is there any advise from the knowledgeable folks out here?
Regards,
Mantra72 |

This is really more of a Linksys issue, so please take any further discussion over there, but it sounds like a DNS issue. You'll have to set the DNS either in the router to be served by the router's DHCP (if it can) or in the TCP/IP configuration of your 2000/Me machine.
If this is it, say so, but if not, have fun in Linksysland.

To people who are having problems with cheap routers, sometimes, you get what you pay for. People who spend less than $75 on a Belkin, D-Link, or other cheap broadband router WILL have issues. Linksys is fine until you try to manage outgoing traffic. |
