Really? How about sharing what you figured out? That's the polite thing to do.
said by AUTIGERS1101 :Now I have a few last questions. 1. I have an Epson C86 printer on my Windows 2000 printer, and am wondering if you can somehow network it with this new computer without a printer server.
If the printer is network compatible, you get it working on one computer, set it up to be shared (like creating a file share outgoing), then go to the other computer and add a network printer (like creating a file share incoming).
According to the online web page, the C86 has "network and wireless printing options".

Did you get an owners manual with the printer?
said by AUTIGERS1101 :2. Is there are software program or something besides Network Magic that I could use to share my files between both computers? I can't do it by Windows, so I have to do it by a program or if there is a way to do it by the router page. (» 192.168.2.1)
So above you said you figured it out? Now you say that you "can't do it by Windows". What's the complete story?

said by AUTIGERS1101 :YES! I have an internet connection when hooked up with router. I went to CMD and ipconfig/all and found my physical address. then i entered it into the box on the 192.168.2.1 page and i got a connection! Just one more thing, how do I get the other computer to connect wirelessly to this computer? I went to network connections and connected to this router, but it isn't working. Is there anything I need to do to it?
The simplest way to get this finished would be for you to run the Network Setup Wizard, and select the NAT Client configuration:
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or through a residential gateway.

If you don't want to do that, and considering the amount of work that you've done to date I would understand why you won't want to, let's look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from the problem computer, and one other computer. Then we'll compare, and change, other settings as necessary. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

OK, what did you change to get there? Knowing that would help us figure what to do next.
Can you find the page where you input the IP address of the DNS servers?

Your DNS server looks incorrect . It should be 69.50.188.180 . If it still wont allow you to login try setting the DHCP server to 69.1.30.42 with a DNS server of 69.50.188.180
Also try entering 192.168.2.1 into the address bar without the http |

Hopefully you can catch what I'm doing wrong!
OK, that shows your computer does connect to the router, and it's getting settings from there.
Now, as Belkin says, you need to login to the router. We know you're connected to the router, cause you're getting settings. You login with "http://192.168.2.1", in the address bar of the browser. You're going to have to do that, so you can get your Internet working.
If that doesn't work, tell us in excruciatingly detailed words, what you are seeing, including any error messages.

said by AUTIGERS1101 :all the other one says is: Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : DELL IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No and its physical address. right now we dont really need to worry about the xp computer, I could probably connect them as long as we got the computer to find the router, and connect to the internet while hooked up to the modem.
OK, it's your dime.
So what are you doing about your Internet problems? You started with "Need Help Fast!" and "can't connect to the router". Are you still in an urgent situation?
Anyway, I'm looking at the ipconfig, and I can't see how it connects to the router either. That looks like it's connecting directly to the modem, because it's getting an IP address, DNS Suffix, and DNS servers from Knology.
This doesn't make any sense, really. Look at my example Normal IPConfig, with a pair of computers connected to a NAT router (as I'm thinking you should be). See the "192.168.1.x" all thru the list there. That's normal for a subnet managed by a NAT router. Why does your computer not show any of that?
»nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/r···l#Normal
Verify how the modem, router, and Windows 2000 computer connect. What is the label on the port (connection hole) where each network cable plugs into each of the 3 devices?
Now, none of my articles yet provide any diagrams or pictures of how to do anything. I use words - and lots of them. But look at my Networking article, and follow the references to several good instructive websites for diagrams and pictures. Check out what they have to say, and see if there's maybe some basic mistake that you may have made in your wiring.
