Linksys Gateway problem

G

Gordon

I just bought a Linksys Wireless-G WAG54G ADSL Gateway for use in
my home compurers network. I am running Windows XP Pro on my
desktop and my laptop, and Windows XP Home edition on my wife's
kitchen computer. I want to link them all together to share my
IBM Infoprint 8 laser printer, and also to share the SW Bell
phone line DSL connection that we have.

My desktop will be the admin computer, if I can get it to
recognize the Linksys Gateway. This has been a problem! The other
computers will be wireless linked through this new Gateway. My
desktop computer will not be wireless linked. It is hooked
driectly to the Gateway by a network cable that came with the
Synksys Gateway package.

This computer is a home built, using an AZUS P2-B MB, an Intel
Pentium III 500 MHz processor and 256 MB RAM. It has a 120 GB
hard drive with only a very small portion in use. It is working
very well in all respects.

I have set the Linksys Gateway up and tried to get my IE 6.0
browser to open the Gateway's default address,
http://192.168.1.1/ so I could complete the setup. No go! I just
get the error message stating, "This page is not available."

The only thing I can think of that may be causing a hang-up is
that I have a Kingston KNE 110TX/100B Ethernet card in my
computer, and have been trying to use this to access the new
gateway. This ethernet card works fine with my old Speedstream
5660 Router/Modem, but doesn't seem able to communicate with the
new Linksys Gateway.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Can you ping that IP address?
Did you set up your computer to receive an IP address from the DHCP server,
and ensure you're getting it from the Linksys? If you run ipconfig /all in
a command prompt, what do you see?

Shouldn't matter...
