Trying to install new router
Problem.
Old Linksys router keeps coming back each time I reboot. Router was
installed with Windows 98. Now using XP Pro. I've tried to delete thru
Control Panel\add,delete programs. I get the following error message:
0x80040707 and cannot delete. Using the delete key while in Network
Connections or in network adapters works but the old router is there again
after I reboot.
Complication:
The connection information is corrupt. Under Lan or High-Speed Internet
heading is the connection icon and it says:
Local Area Connection 6
Connected
HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
To the right of that is the icon with a red X and it says:
Local Area Connection 7
Network cable unplugged
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
In reality: The Linksys Realtek is connected. The HP is unplugged. The
Linksys is a new model WRT 54 GS not the old RTL8139
..
I am able to connect to the internet with these settings but despite
reassurances from the Linksys tech in India that as long as my IP address is
correct I don't have a problem, I am unwilling to try to add our two other
computers to this network until I have correct information.
I hope someone can help or tell me where to find help. I've been using
computers for over 25 years so I'm reasonably computer literate. ( ie, I'm
good at following good directions. )
