Badams66 Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 well i am a anewbie to routing things and well i just wodnered if any of y guys could give me asome help with routing my dsl i plugged it in to the router and it lost the connection u think any of u guys can find a guide for me . thanx slyc Im having a little trouble following what your talking about. You have to plug your DSL connection into the router, in the proper place, usually there is an uplink slot on the router. Then plug your computers from the router into the NIC. Hope that helps, but like i said, im having trouble uderstanding your problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 would help to know what dsl service you have, what router you are using, etc.... if you want to figure it out for yourself go to www.dslreports.com. they have sections for probably every isp and many faqs on setting them up in different situations.

AYoKoNA Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 (edited) what messages are you getting? Where cant you reconnect. Does your router have a firewall?? Edit: Give me the model # please!

andrusk Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 (edited) sorry for the first post i was very tired and didn't really know what i was saying well its a local dsl service its the seimens speedstream two port router and yes i plugged everything in right and if I knew where the manual was i would read it but for some reason when i plug everything in i can't and go to reconnect it won't if its only a two port router(one for dsl in and one for uplink) your gonna need a switch if you wanna connect mulitple computers. Also make sure you configure your router correctly if its pppoe or wether it uses static address and the like. edit:::::::: shouldnt you be asleep ayoknoa?

asus Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Ok, I am an expert at routing because i do it for many people. What you kneed. Cable Modem - DSL Modem 4 port switch or 2 port swith or insted of the switch i recomend a linksys router 4 port for expantion +the firewall helps cat5 cable, get this at a computer netwoking store circuit city overprices. Should be about 10 dollars for 100 feet 3com network cards or the cheapeast ones you can find 10/100 mbs cat5 patch cable about 5 pices 7-10 ft long for any extra close wireing ok, now get the DSL modem all set, and working, now, plug the cat5 cable form the dsl modem into the WAN "wide aira network" port, then you should have, a 1,2,3,4 ports, if you got a 4 port router. Then plug a pice of cat5 patch into the no.1 port on the router. Then plug the other end of the cat5 cable into the computer. Boom, that computer is set. Then for the longer running cable, "assuming you had the dsl modem close to your main computer", do the same steps, plug the cat5 cable into the back of the routter, pref. the 2nd port, then run the cable however you please and plug the other end into the eathernet card in the other computer, boom. Now for file sharing, go to start - program files or all programs - assesories - communication, then click on home netwoking wizard. This will work very well, "make shure you are getting the internet on both computers. You should not have to do anything but remove your old dileup service. When your are in the home netwoking wizard use all default settings unless you know what you are doing. The pictures will guid you along, sorry about the spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
