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.

Not exactly sure how to set that up, I never got a installation cd... manuals are junk.

Set what up? How are you connecting the second computer?

SpeedStream 6250

Ethernet Switch

All the computers

This configuration will work with no configuration using stock Windows installation network defaults.

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.

I suspect you have to configure account details into the Speedstream like name/password for the account.
