[SOLVED] Re: dsl 2 - Page 2

John,

I clicked on the Lan IP setup on that page. I have attached a screen shot of that page, but I have no idea what to do from here. This is all Greek to me.

Under LAN TCP/IP Setup, change the IP Address to 192.168.2.1, click the Apply button.

At this point, you'll have to turn everything off, connect the router into the system, turn on the Westellrouter, wait for a minute, turn on this router, wait for a minute, then boot the computer. See if you're connected at that point.

I'd also like to see another IPCONFIG /ALL when you've done this.

John,

Without the Netgear router I just kept getting webpages, but not the page I needed, so I hooked the router in too and then I got the page I needed. I selected "Lan setup," then "Lan TCP/IP Setup." I entered the new IP address, selected "Apply" and I got the message that's in the screen shot. I clicked "OK" but it came up with "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Now what do I do?

I see that the router didn't automatically change the DHCP server addresses, so we'll have to do this again.

Reset the router to factory defaults (you should be getting good at this), go back to that page and change the IP address third octet from 1 to 2, and also change it from 1 to 2 in the DHCP server starting and ending address specification. Apply the changes, then reboot your computer, since you've changed the subnet of the router! It'll pick up the new IP address configuration and you'll be on your way.

You're a good man Johnwill!

I finally got through all the problems. I am on the internet with both
the Westell Modem/Router and the Netgear router hooked up, and I was also able to get the wireless network set up for my wife's laptop.

I don't know what the initial problem was, but I wasn't getting anything that any of the documentation told me I should be seeing. The more I searched the internet for the answer, the more confused and frustrated I became. Then I found this site. THANK GOD!

Thank you very much, not only for your technical expertise, but also for your patience. I haven't seen many threads on this site that are multiple pages, but if you took it easy on me because I admitted that I wasn't very knowledgeable about this stuff, I'm sure glad. You still had me in a sweat, trying to figure out exactly what you wanted me to do next.

They say "All is well that ends well" so I guess my final words to you will be Thanks John. I truly couldn't have done it without you. I REALLY appreciate your help............and patience!

Maurice
