| D-Link DL-604 Problem
Ok I just recently purchased a new computer...
And I decided to just have my Friend completely build me a new computer from Scratch...
But now the new problem I have is ticking me off and my Friend can't resolve it either...
I bought a Router(Not Wireless) {D-Link DI-604} and it worked temporarily for like 30 minutes... And then my DSL died... and when it came back online... The 'Internet' Light wouldn't 'react/come active' and so then I plugged the Main Ethernet Cable back to my Computer and it worked just fine and then I REPlugged it to the Router and then ever since... I can't use the Router properly anymore... And I did everything the Manual says and all.. But I can't get the Router to work... So now I am just using my Primary Connection and the Router is just 'there' for 'Looks'..
So I don't know what the problem this time... =/
And I KNOW that I am not really providing enough information so if you need more let me know since I don't really know what else to give...
Thanks. |

Yeah like is your ISP and what type of modem do you have?
Did the router work before you got the new computers?
From the symptoms its sounds like SBC with a Speed Stream 5100. |

make sure you have the ISP BRIDGE the modem.
Once that's done, the router and modem will not conflict. |

| Heh bah it worked but then once I turned off my computer and restarted.. Same problem..
And yea I do use SBC Yahoo DSL with a SpeedStream 5100(Not sure if it is 'A' or 'B')
I got the Router after my New Computer so I didn't have it beforehand.
And now I am restarting it to be Brigde Mode |

| Yeah I tried Both methods that were provided by both your First and Second link...
Hmmm well everything is Default(Router/DSL) and only difference I did this time since I got 'help' from various forums... Was to update the Firmware... and that seemed to do the trick... Everythign is working just fine... BUT I have not shut down my computer.. Since I am afraid that once I shut it down my problem will come back =/ |

I probably wouldn't mess with it until I knew I had a few clear hours to work on it. Better to be pleasantly surprised than unpleasantly surprised.

| At the bottom of the Tools / Misc page, there's an option to lock your WAN port speed to 10, 100, or 10/100 Auto?
If so, try setting that to one of the locked (non-Auto) values and then go through that restart sequence. See if that helps...

Montreal, QC | Just an FYI, I have the DI-604 as well and had a intermittent reboot issue with the device.
Turns out that if you use E-mule it causes the unit to re-boot on occasion.
Simple fix, I dont use crappy ol E-mule anymore. |

| Well that isn't the case for me..
Ok ok now I got the Router to work with my Primary Computer, but not my secondary..
Strange thing that I noticed is that my Connection under Network Connections is connected at the speed of 100.0Mbps
But on my other computer is says 400.0Mbps.. So I am not sure how to change it to match the one on my Primary Computer.. More or less when I check the Properties(Support) of the Secondary it doens't give any ConnectioN Status:
{Address Type, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway}
I can't repair it because I get a message that says:
Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed:
Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannont Proceed
For assistance, contact the person who manages your network. |

If you can download and install a newer driver for this adapter, that will probably fix it. If you can't find a newer driver, try these steps (for XP):
1. Go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager
2. Click on Help, Help Topics, Device Manager, How to..., Reinstall a Plug and Play device
3. Follow those steps for the network adapter

Washington, DC | Is this a "1394" adapter? If so, that's a firewire adapter and not a network adapter. How are you connecting up to that?! |
