Why do you need two routers for the one LAN?

Ditch the ISP supplied modem and utilize the linksys with the inbuilt modem configured with your ISP server access details.

Modem addy should be...

The use of a suitable networking protocol is what you need to look into to achieve this outcome.

I would suggest a protocol by which a
node could learn a MAC address without the need to use...

No probs........Nice work Jayne!

Hehe, i think Dima might be a bit tired tonight so i will try and explain what i know you probably wont understand.....Basically, I guess a Network can be defined as 2 or more computer systems linked...

Go into the routers configuration settings and make sure that DHCP is enabled.

The router is your DHCP server and will issue IP addy's for all computers hooked to your LAN dynamically.

Hi Jayne.

Looks as though your new laptops network adaptor sees the wireless router downstairs as your network lists as available.

You need to make sure that the laptops settings are identical...

@jack2304....please start a new thread for issues unrelated to the current topic!

You will need to install the drivers again after the format.....get em off the disc that came with the card or at the card manufacturers website!

Have a look in Device manager under 'Network...

No probs my friend......please let me know how things develop for you.

Its got me buggered...If you have tried to reinstall the drivers, have tried to remove the winsock & winsock2 from the registry and reinstalled the tcp/ip protocol using the
nettcpip.ini file. ...

LMAO!

You'll be doing a favour for whoever owns it.

I Have your back Bro!

Nah.....this just means that your computers IP addy is assigned dynamically by DHCP.

If connection is established, but IE wont display the web page, its an issue with the embedded browser itself...

Wooot! Great News.....At least we have a connection now!

What exactly do you mean by 'It didnt work'?

When you open your browser (IE7) do you get an error message, and does the same thing occur...

Yeah, shutdown, remove the Linksys NC100 fast ethernet adaptor and reboot.

We will use the Intel pro 100 ve for attempted connection.

Go to the control panel again - network connections....

No IP addy allocated for Local area connection3? DHCP is not enabled.

Are you supposed to be recieving your IP addy dynamically or statically?

From the control panel:
Open "network...

You say you have tried Winsockfix so that covers that area.

Also say you have run ipconfig/release.....what showed up?
Did it show the usual IP assigned to the ethernet.
Is the ethernet DHCP'd...

Your logfile is clean and there's nothing untoward in there that should be stopping us.

Lets have a look and see if there's anything lurking in your registry that shouldn't be!

Download a copy of HiJackThis and save it to a folder on your desktop.

Do a scan and save a logfile.

The laptops NIC does not see the wireless network?

Have you made sure network 'broadcasting' is enabled within the routers settings?

Once you can see the WLAN and successfully ping the router...

Thats Ok SillyBilly, no problem.

See if these modem configuration settings ( Used for the SpeedStream 4200) alert you to any clues with your connection that may help.
These were successfully...

I dont get it????
What modem settings did you need to change to access your ISP's server?

Unless the upgrade changed your user ID and password, im lost.

It sounds weird alright but maybe im...

Your upgrade in DSL connection should not change anything with regards to your LAN settings if thats what you mean!

This may be an issue, it looks as though you have unintentionlly created another device whilst you have been configuring the hardware during troubleshooting.

It may be that if you don't have encryption turned on that someone else is using your router to connect to the internet.
If enough other people can see an unprotected network to use, they may be...

Can you help us with things like, laptop specs, Operating system used, LAN topology etc.

It is STRONGLY recommended that you do not use 2 routers. You may want to return it and purchase an access point (wireless) or a hub/switch.

To use your router as an access point only, please...

Yep....agree with mechbas here!
If your connection has been established, but you cant recieve any web pages through your browser, then something within your own operating system is denying this.

Once you reset your router back to default (factory) settings, you must re-configure all your settings (ie SSID, WEP/WPA etc) and these settings must be identical on every device that uses your...
