Linkysys Wireless Problem #2

[Bob]

This is a follow up question for the one i posted a
couple days ago (re-printed at the bottom of this post)
I tried followed the instructions given by the two
replies to the post but I couldn't get very far. I have
the router set up as the instructions say and I am able
to ping the router the problem comes when I try to access
http://192.168.1.1. using my browser. Every time I try,
The login box for My DSL asks me to connect. If i click
OK it tries to connect but can't establish a connection,
and if I click Cancel the browser switches to [working
offline] I'm sure this is something simple that I am just
over looking but I can't figure it out!





I'm having trouble setting up my wireless network. I
have Verizon DSL and when I have the router hooked up to
the host computer it cannot establish an internet
connection. The other computer says it is connected to
the network but it also cannot connect to the internet. I
can't even access the Router configuration page. I'm
stopping to ask for help before i mess it up anymore, any
help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks!
I forgot to mention that I was running WinXP

Bob,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Does each computer have an ip address 192.168.1.??? (subnet mask 255.255.255.0)?
Also, make sure that 192.168.1.1 is in the Local (Most Trusted) Zone on your
firewall.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Uh, http://192.168.1.1 is the address of your Linksys router;
I don't know why you decided to call it "My DSL". When you
point your browser to http://192.168.1.1 and pull the trigger,
you are, I suspect, getting connected to the router and it is
the router that is presenting that login box to you. You can
ignore the Username slot, but you must enter the Password
(the default is "admin") before clicking on the OK button;
that should get you to the primary configuration page of the
router.

Note that connect has (at least) two meanings: physical and
logical. Physically, your PC's NIC is connected to a downlink
port on the router, the router's uplink port is connected to
a port on the DSL modem, and the modem's "phone line" port is
connected to (guess what?) a phone line. Logically, you form
a connection to the router by browsing to 192.168.1.1 and then
logging in to the router; when everything is working, you can
also form a connection to the DSL modem by browsing to its IPA
(e.g., my cable modem's IPA is 192.168.100.1), where you will
find its configuration page(s).
