Jim - I have found with both my previous DW6000 satellite modem and the current DW7000 that there is a definite preferred sequence to bringing up the system/network. With everything "cold iron,":
1. Plug in/turn on the satellite modem ONLY. Nothing else until it stabilizes and the blue lights burn steadily. 2. Turn on the router. Do nothing else until all lights stop flickering and it is stable. 3. Turn on the computers, in no particular order. Reason for this is so the modem can have an IP address available for the router when it needs one, and in turn, the router will have them available for network member machines when needed. The above works with properly configured machines and network, but if they aren't, then it may not get you up. Works fine with mine using a DW7000, LinkSys WRT54G router, 2 wired machines and 2 wireless, with the occasional visitor using wireless, after I provide them the WEP key. Good luck. - Bill Hatcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] - -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim Dykes Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 19:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WINHOME] Network Question When I opened the message, I found that Marc Sims had written: > DHCP works like a phone directory by assigning randomly generated IP > addresses to a PC which the DHCP server creates. DHCP is enabled on all three computers. Is there something that I should look for in the ipconfiguration readout that might point to why the two other computers cannot access the LAPTOP? -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
