I recently bought a Linksys wireless router to use with the laptop at home
and can't get it to work. I am running Qwest DSL with a Arescom NetDSL 800
modem When I originally set the system (DSL) up, I connected through the USB
port. To install the router I needed to change to ethernet connection. The
only way I can get the ethernet connection to work is by manually configuring
the TCP/IP settings.
Linksys is telling me that I need to have the system set to auto detect
settings but it won't work. Auto detect gives me nothing. I've tried
everything to make it work but it seems that whatever tells XP and the
computer to do it has been changed somehow, and not by me. My laptop works
fine with this connection and modem and will detect auto. I went into the
registry editor and there are differences in the settings between the two
computers. The desktop doesn't seem to have defaults set like the laptop
does.
I've been working on this problem for two weeks and don't think the problem
is with either Qwest or Linksys. Just to see, I installed the router on my
laptop this morning and it went great, no problems with setup and I had
internet connection through the router. Since I was using all the same
hardware the desktop uses, I think it's what Linksys told me, that I need to
have the computer auto detecting TCIP/IP settings. How do I get it to do this
again?
