If you've been around, you'll see I hate configuration of ethernet! First of all is detailing my current setup which obviously allows access to this web site. DSL box>PC>PC2(if connected).
Not much at all. What I'm wanting to do is... DSL \/ Router \/ Port1=PC>PC2 (via 2nd ethernet card and Internet Connection Sharing) Port2=PS2 Port3,4=empty for future expansion Wireless (DS, etc.) I can make this PC connect to the router's configuration screen, but generally only if it's WAN port is unplugged from DSL. I'm assuming there's some NAT which needs to be done to make my ideal design work, other than that I don't know. The router's ethernet and wireless devices must connect to the Internet, not each other, in case that helps you solve this. Geez! I have the 370-odd page manual, but am just clueless. It's even worse as some of my cables are CAT3, others CAT5, and some might be crossover or wrongly assembled. They were free. I should probably write down all the IP and MAC addresses, both local and public. Anyone care to explain how to fulfill the above diagram? I can't really afford hiring a technician, yet if it's needed I'll find some way. Expect updates on new developments as they arise. Edit: As usual, I'm running XP Pro SP2.

first thing I suggest doing is verify all your cables. most hardware/software stuff won't adapt to weird cables. I know windows default drivers/ethernet won't do jack about it.
once you have verified you have the correct cables between each thing (i.e. CAT5), then check to see if all the computers can see each other. If so, then your LAN works and you do not need any new type of software. If you can't connect to the internet, then there is something about the computer that can connect to the internet that needs to be mimiced in your router. I remember reading in another manual that probably the configuration of your computer needs to be into the router, typically the MAC addy needs to be mimiced. There should be something in the router config page that allows you to do it.e |
