how to set up a router to connect using a dynamic ip.
Hi all, i have just got a new ISP, up to 18 meg broadband through standard adsl copper lines. my isp says the only think i need to connect to them is a router that lets me connect via a dynamic ip.. the one they gave me is a BILLION BiPAC 5200s and they set it up.. i have now managed to connect to the Internet but my connection keeps dropping randomly and sometimes wont reconnect for ages as it wont assign an IP from the server.
i also required to use wireless and have a 4 port router as the 5200s is only 1 port.
so i got the ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 4 port router with wireless..
but i cannot make it connect.. i think im being a noob somehow..
My isp says this...
"You said you were asking for settings to connect your router. If you are connecting a router to our service you require to choose the option for dynamic ip address. There are no manual settings to enter as we do not have static ip addresses, everything is pickup automatically. When you install your router just make sure you haven't chosen the manual option. If you have any other problem with your router this should be resolved by consulting your router manual or contacting the manufacturer. "
i have taken screen shots of every setting on the 5200 router (available uploaded to Photobucket if requested) as the ISP does not require me to use a username or password.
i have set up the new router but i cannot figoue out how to set up a connect automatically via dynamic ip thingy... personally i think im missing something or just being a nub,. but if someone can point out the obvious i would appreciate it..
THanks anyhow,.
