Re: internet connection with router.

Kevin,

Log into the Netgear router, and check the IP settings. The DSL most likely
required that the IP settings be configured for PPPOE. The cable modem
doesn't require this type of authentication, and should be set for DHCP.
After this is complete, reboot the cable modem, and check the status page on
the Netgear device. If it shows connected, however you still cannot get out
to the Internet, check the DNS addresses. Although the Netgear should pick
these addresses up dynamically, it may be necessary to input them by hand;
you can obtain them from Roadrunner.

Hope this helps............

hello. today I just changed my internet service from DSL to Cable, ISP
named
Time warner cable. I have 2 windows XP professional service pack 2s, a
cale
modem, and a Netgear router. when I used DSL, and connected 2 computers on
the netgear router, it worked perfectly fine, but low speed, so we
switched
to cable, hoping it will be faster.. and soon as the guy from time warner
cable connects the new cable modem to our router, he says it doesnt work
and
told me to try and just left. well I went to netgear homepage, searched in
google, and I did everything I could but could not do it. If I connect the
modem directly to one computer(this one), it works.
please help, we have no one else to depend on but this community.
thanks in advance. -kevin-
