Router causing problems
I just installed a linksys router model # BEFSR41. I can't log into hotmail or post messages here at the pcmech forums. I've tried clearing tempfiles, cache, cookies, and history. I can get log onto hotmail and post here useing other computers on my network. Anyone know whats wrong?

well yes,
you do not connect a router to another router, it don't work that way the modem should have a wain connector to connect to the waun port of the lyinsys router. if your modem is also a built in router (which I have never seen yet) it new to me. why do you have the linksys connected and how is it connected. |

I'm sure your wondering why I need the linksys router. HomePNA works through phone jacks, the homeportal is in my room, so there are no more phonejacks to use. Next week I will finaly have my other computer working again and I need it to be online also, thats why I bought the router. The modem is connected to the wall an ethernet wire goes from it to the linksys and another goes from the linksys to my computer. I didn't changed any settings on the router. When I put in the setup cd it said I was already setup for an internet connnection so I just left it alone. whats wain and waun? |
