The ISP will tell the router/modem, which in turn will tell your PC.

Im a bit confused regarding your setup. It should be.

1.Bin the USB modem. This is not used.

PC-----Router/Modem(combined)--------Filter-------Wall Telephone socket.

The router HAS a modem inside so no need for the USB modem.

Im sorry if you already know this, no disrespect meant. The filter is simply so your telephones are not interfered with.

When setting the router up USE WIRED PORT on the router and connect an ethernet cable to one of the PC's (worry about the wireless later).

 

Yes I know mate, I am looking at the page now through IE I typed the IP address in the address bar at the top. But i can't see the menu for reseting the modem. Hold on I see if I can do a screen shot

 

I know.. Iknow!! that's what I thought bin the USB Modem but the modem inside the router can't connect to the internet. I decide rather than runing up and down the street to mate mates house to connect it through my network and I get the sam problem. No packets recieved through the Belkin Router/modem. I have checked the settings on the ISP website and the USB modem and can't under stand why it doesn't connect!?

 

To reiterate. Some routers require a WIRED LINK to get into the admin page.

 

OK here's the screen shot of the router through IE

 

what the screen shot shows is your network side. I think the trouble you are having is with the WAN side

 

when you say reset the modem, do you mean back to default???

 

Select the 'Internet WAN' menu and look there.

Harry.

 

Ahh. There's a tick box stating automatically assin DNS from ISP but the boxes show 0 in them.

 

You will need to put in *your* connection details if you are at home, rather than his. There is no guarrantee that settings can be migrated to another line. Sometimes it works, but frequently it doesn't.

Harry.

 

Yes and err oh nuts!! I've just seen a rest button on the back of the router.

 

I have to say that either this has been messed up - or something is not right with the router. My experience with stuff sold in the UK for *normal* ISPs is that you only need to insert the username and password and it will just work! The CDs usualy packaged with the unit make this easy.

Harry.

 

Yep, and its also towards the bottom under ultilities, if my eyes are reading that right...

 

Change the DNS. You will NOT be able to use HIS ISP details mate. You have to put yours in. That should be it then!!

of course, getting the wirless working is another thing.

 

Ok I have put in the DNS settings.

NOw this question might seem a bit stupid what is a POD? Ping of Death

 

I think its when sombody continualy pings you and takes all the bandwidth

 

Well - it's not connecting - so it can't get the DNS details.

But DNS is a minor consideration - the inportant things is getting it to connect.

Harry.

 

Er - context? I think it unlikely that the Ping of death would appear on a router settings page!

Harry.

 

Dont the DNS details often include IP addresses
