From wireless to wired

What are you connect to and with? Need more info.

Your setup should be Modem->router-> PC wired or wireless.

What did you use to do your initial setup with. Wired, wireless, or direct connect to the modem.

Some ISP's register the connections by MAC Address. If your does may need cloning.

If dsl, PPPoE should not make any difference it the modem is doing the connections.

YES.

MODEM -> Router (WAN or internet nic port) ----> PC's will connect to the LAN ports on the router, most routers have 4 LAN ports.

If you are going wired, you need to connect your pc to the LAN port on the router. This way you will be behind a hardware firewall.

Have you done anything to the router since you set it up??

One you are connected to the LAN ports of the router you should have what is know as private IP address. Most routers default to 192.168.1.1 .

To check you IP address if you get a icon in the right tray, do a right click the select "Status" Then select the support tab.

or Start All Program Accessories then Command Prompt. Type ipconfig /all will give you details on your connections.

I have connected it how you say but still no dice.

I have a Lynksys WRT54G.

and I dont know how to post the results.

I deleted the host name, not sure if thats private or not but I did it anyway, if its important I can post it.

Are you saying that I cannot use wired while using whireless? Should I should turn off (or remove?) my linksys wireless card? The cord is plugged in now and I am using wireless right now.

with the wired connected and the wireless disabled, all the command prompt says is Windows IP Configuration.

what is nic? I do have linksys software for the wireless card, not the router, or the modem. I am not sure I know what you mean by lan port properties. I cant find anything like that. I have found "LAN settinng" but that doesnt show anything about internet protocal or client for microsoft Networks or printer sharing.

Its says under Network Adapter in Device manager:

1394 Adapter
Linksys Wireless-GPCI adapter
MAC Bridge Miniport (X through it)
Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller

All are clear, no Xs or !s or ?s except for the MAC

Which one? The Marvell is plugged in and the Nvidia isnt. I cant plug both in because that would require that I have two cords which is totally unecessary.
For some reason I dont see any option to lift the firewall off the one that is plugged in. However I can lift it from the Wireless connection which is working right now.

I moved the cable over and it does the same thing as the other port, says its connected but still not sending or recieving. I went into the bios and couldnt find anything so that didnt work.

I got it workin, I just enabled the Network Bridge icon thats was with my connection icons, started right up.

Thanks for all the help.
