trying to get the internet working through this router, but not having any
success..
1) So i set the router up i.e. wires, connect it up to the computer, as
shown on the manual.. There's a couple of CD's that come with it but non seem
to have any drivers or anything of the sort, so i presume u just plug and
play.
2)configure the ADSL Gateway. i can't get beyond this point. basically it
tells u to go to the internet browser and type http:/192.168.1.1 or
http:/192.168.0.1 and press enter. this enter network password screen should
come up or so it says, but nothing comes up on mine besides this box that
asks u if u wanna work offline or connect. i can't get beyond this point.. i
don't see where i should be putting my username password etc..
This is basically what i've done so far. What am i missing?
router:linksys wireless-g adsl home gateway, model: wag354g (it does both
wireless and wired)
computer:
1 gig ram
160 gigs
windows xp pro sp2
3.00gz pentium d
Internet connection: adsl 1 meg, ukonline
You need to EITHER set your computer to use automatic IP address assignment
(DHCP) OR assign an address manually that's within the router's subnet.
To see if your computer has acquired an IP address, type IPCONFIG /ALL at a
commandprompt. (If it says 167... then it hasn't acquired one, that is the
default)
From what I can find out, the wag354g appears to use 192.168.1.x addresses.
You then need to type the IP address of the router into your browser. This
will only be a single address, and you must use the right one. The literature
should tell you.
I agree, Ian, with one minor point to make: the IP address that's
assigned when a network connection is configured to obtain an IP
address automatically and it can't contact a DHCP server starts with
169.254.
