Re: Constantly Acquiring Network Address




if the computer has just one NIC and you want to have the LAN, the both computers should connect to the router and router conenct to the modem. The key is both machines must be the same subnet.

I'll check out the how to site - but to answer your questions: no, one NIC in
the computer. Right now the only physical connections are dsl line to Westell
Versalink DSL modem/router/gateway and one computer to the
Versalink(ethernet).

The only thing I'm trying to do is access the router on 192.168.1.1 to
access the set up program. The dsl connection works fine, as I am using it
currently but when I enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar I get page not
found.
