SpeedStream 6520 Probs.
I was given a speedstream from a friend, I had a old comtrend and it worked great, I used my pc as gateway for my 2nd computer on network..
Now to prob I have the modem set up and I thought network was also, but My 2ns pc doesn't have any net, it is detected in modem browser, but i cannot go to any websites, I tried to set thing to factory defaults a few times.. Nothing same thing, If i use comtrend modem and my pc as gateway it has dual lan ports, my 2nd pc has net but not with gd Speedstream... I tried to put ip and gateway ip into th tcp/ip settings and even a dns, still nothing.. I'm lost as to what to do next.. |

Re: SpeedStream 6520 Probs.
The SpeedStream 6520 is a modem/router, so you don't need the PC as a gateway. Just purchase a cheap Ethernet switch and connect it to the modem/router and all of the machines.

Re: SpeedStream 6520 Probs.
I'm just plugging in a Ethernet cable to the modem/router It detects it but I have no internet access. So i been using my older comtrend Modem and making my pc a gateway and using Ethernet from my main pc to the next.

Re: SpeedStream 6520 Probs.
I suspect you have to configure account details into the Speedstream like name/password for the account.
