Go into the linksys routers config page by typing the following in your browser:\n\nhttp://192.168.1.1\n\nThen follow the instructions specific to your router in the sources link below (slightly different version but may still work as I think they are quite similar).\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers!

To do "ipconfig", once you have your PC connected to one of the 4 ports in the router and the modem in the Internet port, go to DOS (click Start, go to Run then type cmd in the bar, click Okay).\njust type ipconfig where the blinking cursor is and you should get the IP address of the PC, gateway which is the router an subnet mask.  If you type ipconfig/all you can also find the DNS which is from your ISP, meaning you are connected to them.\n\nRegarding configuring the router - unfortunately, you didn't metion what modem you have. Some modems may need the router configure in a slightly different way. If your SBC connection is PPPoE try this, meaning if your PC is connected direct to your modem and you need to log on to the internet using a connection manager (in other words, you need to enter username and password):\n\n1.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online. You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Once the router page is up - choose PPPoE for Internet login type.\n8.)Enter the username and password your internet provider gave you. You may need to type the username in email format (e.g. name@sbcglobal.com).\n9.)Select Keep alive.\n10.)Save settings.\n11.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page). It should show you're connected. You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers. If not, click connect. If an error comes up - "Authentication Failed" means either you mistyped your username or password, or both.\n12.)If you get "Cannot connect to PPPoE server" your modem and router may have the same (LAN) IP address. You need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1). Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router. Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, you can do that instead. Then follow steps 5, 6 and 11.\n\nIf you don't need to use a connection manager and your ISP did not give you a username and password for your account, try this:\n\n1.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online. You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page). It should show you're connected. You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers. \n8.)If not, you need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1). Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router. Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, y

you usually login to your router using http://192.168.1.1 or something like that. you can leave the firewall on, but enable port forwarding to do whatever you want to do - p2p for example.

There is no easy way to combine the BW. You can have two routers and have them load balanced, but could get costly. Also, there are routers w/ dual WAN ports also that you could look into, but if you have two isp's they will not have equal paths. \nHard to do, but possible. But no easy way.

while connected to your isp...\n\nstart>run>type "command" for win9X or "cmd" for others and hit enter. at dos prompt type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter. all the info will be listed.

It's probably a good idea to confirm your IP settings via the IPCONFIG /ALL command in the cmd console. However the response 401 is a legit error meaning that your access wasn't authorised. So your Router probably sent this as a response to a dodgy access by you. Reconfirm your instructions and see if you need to access a different part to login correctly or need to specify a password to access the config web page!\n\nJohn

routers are different in configuration,\nfirst you have to connect your computer to the Console port (to configure it)\nnext you have to configure the interfaces of the router with ip addresses\nnext if you like to run a routing algorithm, you have to configure it next..or you enter the routing table manualy\n\nthis is a basic configuration. you can also use Access Lists for security..or Vlans\n\nyou can see this page about cisco routers:\n\nhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/tsd_products_support_category_home.html

first try rebooting-if that does not work. try the device manager to make sure there is nothing wrong with the network card. if that looks ok. go to you network connections and make sure everything is set to DHCP-this will automatcially assign an ip. if that does not work you will have to assign an ip. also try assigning dns servers. all of these settings are found in network connections. if none of that works, call your isp and run through some troubleshooting with them. they may need to replace the modem. also make sure all of your connections are good

You should be able to configure your router so that incoming traffic to each of three particular ports (or ranges of ports) is forwarded by the router to each internal system.\n\nIf you need web access to the internal systems, you'll need to include the port number in the web address:\n\nhttp://www.something.com:1234\n\nwhere www.something.com is set up to go to the external router, and the port 1234 is forwarded by the router to one of the internal systems.

You need to go into the settings. This is different for many laptops and computers but there should be an autoconnect field or something like that. Delete all of the entries but the router(s) that u want to use.

A Secure Linux router distro with bandwidth control.\n\nfree and better than even cisco.\n\nAlso, get Shaw Extreme cable ( 800mbs )

make sure your dhcp server is reachable from your computer. Most of the time its a firewall blocking it so turn off your firewall.\n\nAlso, make sure you dhcp is actually running. ;)

Start by unpluging the modem from the back of your computer.\n\n2.      Using the same cable attach it to the WAN port of the router.   \n\n3.      Then use a separate cable and connect that to your network card in your computer.\n\n4.      Then take the other end and input that into any port of the router other than WAN/or uplink, (Note if there is anything in the uplink port the port next to it will not work) now restart your computer.\n\n5.      While the computer is restarting locate and hold the reset button located on the front or back of the router (You may need a paper clip to do this) for 30 seconds. (Warning this causes all settings to be restored to factory defaults.  This is always a good procedure to follow when first hooking up your router)\n\n6.

if the router has an web interface you can configure it by connecting it via a utp cable to your computer and using youre browser. If it doesn't have one you nhave to configure it from console (usually you connect to the router via a serial port). Read the instructions that come with your router
