I followed your recommandations but so far it doesn't work.
But when the ADSL line is connected to a port other than WAN each one of the
computers can connect to the internet if the other is not.
The modem I am using is US robotics model 8000-02 MAC address 00C049A807B8
Basically what I do is when I connect the two PCS to the relevant router
ports, I configure the LAN TCP/IP properties accordingly: defaut gateway
set to the router internal addresss 192.168.123.254, and IP addresses set to
192.123.254.1 for the first computer and 192.123.254.2 for the second. Then
I fill the China Telecom DNS server addresses 202.96.209.6 and
202.96.209.133. What else need to be done?
I am thinking maybe it is the router that is not configured properly, but
there is no software with it on either PCs?
Thanks.
