Any help or suggestions appreciated. I have a home network that has Cox
high-speed, a cable modem, a D-link 614+ wireless router, one wired computer
and two auxiliary computers that link wirelessly. The system works, but is
not too fast. But that's not the question. If I disconnect the modem cable
from the router and connect it directly to the wired computer, it won't
connect to the internet. If I take one of the wireless computers and hook
it up directly to the cable modem wire, it won't connect. In other words,
the computers now will only connect through the router and not directly as
they could before the router installation. I update the 614+ firmware. Did
that have something to do with this? Is some code or something written now
to the os or modem that prevents direct connection? Does Cox have to reset
something for a direct connection to work? I'll gladly listen to all
advice. JG
