networking peeps, check in.....

Any Interferencers w/ any networking skills care to explain to me how I setup a D-link router w/ SBC DSL (5100 modem)? I've never done this kind of thing before so I reset the router and ran the wizard, which auto-detected the WAN as pppoe. I entered the SBC username and password, but it still doesnt work. In the Network Connections I get an "Internet Gateway", a "Local Area Connection", and a "1394 Connection". The last two are both setup to obtain IP, etc, automatically. Down in the system tray I see something is connected, but I can only access the router configuration and not any webpages. My friend tried to explain how to setup a static IP, but I messed that up too.

Anyone out there know what they're doing or have done this w/ SBC before?

I think you just need to set the modem to bridged mode. I found this, maybe it'll help.

That would be so awesome. I'm not sure when I'm going to my parents' house next, but I'll IM you then if you're on.

What model D-Link router do you have? Also...is it running DCHP (enabled to send out IPs automatically)? Can you ping the router's IP from your computer? Make sure that you only have the Local Area Connection enabled on your computer, cos the other connections might cause you some trouble...

Just noticed I made a typo, it's T3ch132000 (Techie2000 was already taken, so I had to be a little creative with the hacker language...

I have a Linksys wireless router, so I'm of no use, unfortunately.

I wish I had a Linksys, b/c that's what I have at my house and I have the same ISP as my parents, so I could copy the way ours is configured (which I did not do).

Ah well, Phuzzie and Techie are helping me now....

I was thinking last night, as I was laying in bed, and realized I forgot a step. That is, you're going to want to change the IP of the router or the modem to not be the same thing (you said they were both 192.168.0.1). The easiest way is to probably change it on the modem if you can before you disconnect it (to 192.168.0.100 or something) or change the router's IP from its control panel before connecting the modem...

Thanks guys! It's all working now.
