new router issues
I am having trouble setting up my linksys WRT54G wireless router to connect to my DSL connection. It is a PPPoE connection, and although I enter my username and password in the setup process I still have no luck. I did notice that the modem and the router have the same IP address (192.168.1.1). I tried changing the router's IP to 192.168.0.1 (as linksys suggests), but still with the same results (unable to connect). Also, even though it is a PPPoE connection, I've basically had to sign in once when I set it up. It acts as an always on connection, and I just open Internet Explorer to access the internet. That got me thinking that I had to set up a connection in the Internet Explorer Tools\Internet Options. So I did that, it connected fine, but when I went to open Internet Explorer, it acted like I wasn't connected! I have an older Dimension 4400 (about 4 years old I think) with a D-Link wireless network card, and my modem for my DSL connection is a Netopia Cayman 3300 series (this info may be irrelevant to my problem, but just in case...). I hope someone out there can help me, as Linksys tech support is basically no help. Thanks.
Todd
