Re: [newbie] No 192_168_1_1 yet
UPDATE: By stopping my fiddling with things and entering only what was absolutely required, I succeeded and was able to access my ADSL gateway and am now sending this through that connection. Lesson: Try the absolute defaults first and leave the options till later. Thanks for all the responses. Tip: set the start IP to 192.168.1.101 if you have apache installed. Now for some downloading fun. Frank. SnapafunFrank wrote: Brought myself a Linksys WAG54G Gateway/Router and having got the info I need from my ISP decided to give it a go.

The ADLS configuration should have a note that it is not for use when you are using a router. It is not what you need in this case. What you have to do is configure a normal DHCP Ethernet connection. The router will then set the network address, gateway, default route, and DNS for you. Once you have that working, you should be able to see the WEB interface of the router. One thing you should double check is that the address realy is 192.168.1.1 for the router. The best place is the router's manual, but you can also check by running /sbin/route -n in a terminal window. The last line should have the gateway address as something other then 0.0.0.0. This should be the Linksys router. Mikkel -- Newbie Seeking USER_FUNCTIONALITY always! Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

Snap - The default address for your Linksys unit is probably 192.168.1.245.

Go back into MCC and forget about the ADSL connection. Instead, set up your Realtek network card for DHCP. Without it, your PC won't see the router and you won't be able to connect. -- Lanman Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
