I want to be able to connect my wireless router but I plug the DSL Modem out
into the netgear uplink, and nothing. It won't obtain an IP, nothing. I
called the ISP and they said if you touch the modem's settings it will be
$150 to send a technician out! They offered no other help.
I tried to create a New Connection in the router's settings to use DHCP and
it won't obtain an IP from the DSL.

If you connect a PC directly to the Paradyne, what do you do to get that
to connect, just DHCP for the ethernet, or any software? A clue might be
the output from 'ipconfig /all' (or winipcfg in Win9x/ME).
If it is a modem/router that gives your PC a private DHCP IP, etc., it
might be limited to giving out only 1 IP by default. So you might need to
power down the modem for awhile before connecting in to your router WAN.
Or you could try cloning the MAC of the PC nic on the WAN of your router
so the modem will think it is the same machine.
For example my ISP now supplies modem/router that only gives out 1 IP by
default. But the DHCP lease expire time is 10 miniutes, so if a different
PC or router was connected to it, it could get an IP within 10 minutes,
even if the modem was not power cycled. |
