Router Set up

[Guest]

I have just moved into a new home and had cable tv and
internet installed. I have two computers and have used a
MN-700 router and MN-730 PCI adapter to connect to the
internet through a DSL service. I tried hooking it up
with the cable service through my pc, but didn't have much
luck. The other computer saw the wireless network and the
network indicated that it was working properly, but the
curser and the internet icons on explorer were rapidly
blinking and I could not connect to the internet. Can
someone tell me what I did wrong or what I didn't do.

Thanks.

You need to reconfigure the Internet access for the cable.
Use IE and go to 192.168.2.1. You need only to change the
settings on the WAN screen -- you may need data from the
cable company to know what type of connection they use
(dynamic, static, PPPoe; DNS settings).

You may want to give it a try and set it to dynamic, since
it's the simpler setting, and call the cable company if it
does not work
