The modem is a Dlink 300T the router is a Dlink 624+ The modem negotiates
with the isp and is connected to the WAN port on the router which shows the
isp IP details in its WAN status report. Dlink say that I should have the
modem IP details there. DLink don't seem to give any instructions on the
dhcp service of the modem and the way they suggest the two should be
configured together doesn't work for me. At the moment I have the the modem
dhcp enabled as well as the router. This seems to work and I have ics
working on my three computerers . IP addresses on the LAN come from the
router not the modem
Since it took me days to get the things working I am a bit reluctant to
fiddle with setup now. But I have a lot of trouble with my 3 computers
being recognised by each other for file sharing and I don't know if that's
caused by the double dhcp service or some other nice little riddle?
