Hi everybody
I working right now in Brazil and have a 550 kbps broadband
connection. The internet reaches the computer through a modem at
present.
However, having recently acquired a second computer we have tried to
install a wireless router (D-Link DI-524 802.11g/2.4GHz) between the
modem
and the computer.
Although I have followed the instructions to the letter, when I get
to
do the final test, I get an error message saying the router is not
detected. After telling me to check the connection between the router
and the computer (which is not the problem), the install goes no
further than this.
Note that in my desperation, I have actually physically changed the
modem and the router and the various network cables for new versions
without at all improving the situation.
I have spoken to the ISP down here but they showed little interest in
helping me.
Any clues as to how I can resolve this?
Thanks
Paul

I was reading the specs on your Speed Stream 5200. Looks like a nice
router/firewall. According to the user manual you need to use a cross-over
cable when connecting the Speed Stream to a hub or a switch without an
"Uplink" port.

Hope this helps. Good luck. Scott
