anyone help me connect up my router?? im to the stage i need to add addresses, ive been told to contact my isp which i have who only said i need dns primary and secondary,added to connection profile on laptop but still not working grrrrrrr

 

I never had to input any DNS entries when I did mine. Are you able to connect wirelessly and are you getting an IP address and a gateway address?

 

What about in control panel,interent connections,network connection then iirc you have the choice to obtain ip automaticly.
Didnt need to do any of that with my wireless,just pluged the router in and ran the wizard with my laptop on and hey presto the interweb popped up.

 

What router is it, Belkin/Netgear?

 

netgear, wont connect if left blank

 

Have you gone to Start button>Run>http://192.168.0.1

Username is: admin
Password is: password

There you should be able to set up all of your settings for the internet and your account for the router.

 

ive got into the config page which is built into the router. It asks for ip addy,subnet and summit else then dns primary and secondary, but dont know what to put, was told to ask isp for addresses,rang up the good old dubai call centre and was told i only need the dns addys,but it wont let me continue without adding ip,subnet etc

 

Have you got remote assistance on your msn?

 

nope lol

Basically want to connect a dell latitude c600 running wirelessly using a motorolla sb5100 modem,netgear wgr614 router,sweex wireless card on blueyonder running win 2000. the card and laptop have found the router and is locked on but wont access the net. the config screen wont let me continue until i add addresses.


well and truly stuck at this point

 

google for your ISP name and DNS settings

 

how are you connecting now ? are you using the same ISP ?

 

pc wired same isp

 

click START, and RUN, type cmd

then ipconfig /all

it will tell you the DNS settings

 

also, doesn't your router have the option for AUTO or DHCP ?

 

I had a netgear router which I used with NTL BB and I never entered any DNS setting, the router was left for DHCP and I use a surfboard 3100 modem.

 

right the software built in checks my connection and comes up you have a static ip then askes for the ip,subnet,gateway,but telewest said i dont have a static ip :S

 

are you on cable or adsl

 

cable

 

Hit it with an hammer and chill

 

if one of your pc`s is wired into the netgear router and you can get onto internet then its not the isp /router problem.

its the access point side of the router,

on you wired machine, goto start,run

type
1.cmd
press enter
2.then on black screen type
ipconfig

3.where it says default gateway, take a note of this address


then goto laptop, once it says its connected to netgear, goto

staart,run type cmd
press enter

on black screen
type

ping with what ever you noted in step 3 eg: ping 192.168.0.1

 

then press enter

 

ranj m8, the pc is direct to the modem as modem has usb output and ethernet output, only the laptop is on router

 

 

so the wireless router is not a modem ?

its connected to the modem via a ethernet cable ?

if thats true, you may need to enter the ip address of the modem so the router can talk to it.

 

also, have you read the setup manual ? ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wg...al_21apr06.pdf

 

yes the router isnt a modem and it is connected to a modem via ethernet cable. Read manual which says it will find config for you but if you have a static ip you will need to contact isp,which i did and they said i only need the dns addreses.added these but it wants ip,subnet,and gateway and i dont know what to put

 

IP address will either be your modem address or the internet address it gets when you connect, same for subnet.

the gateway should be the modem too.

run the ipconfig /all command on your main pc and try either the internet ip or the gateway ip

 

what do you mean either, it wants all addresses m8 and if i put them as it shows then my pc starts getting popups saying it is getting issues

 

can you do a screen capture of the page you need to fill in and upload it or email it to me ?

 

if it helps adapter 1 shows ip addy and subnet but no gateway then adapter 2 shows all 3, think 2 is usb port and 1 must be ethernet?

 

no lol but its page 26 of the manual if you can look at it (1 you posted)

 

Thankyou fasterfords you are a fooking hero,sorted via pm
