Di-624 wireless, but no modem

chartwel · 11-09-2007, 05:35 AM

Hi all,

I live in Armenia, and recently purchased a Di-624 (D-Link) wireless router. However, due to the oddity of my DSL provider, I don't actually have a DSL modem, but rather connected directly to the internet via a cable from the computer to the roof (wacky, I know). The Di-624 claims to need a modem - is there ANY way to configure the Di-624 so that it can both connect to the internet and broadcast a wireless signal without a modem?

ALternately, if I went out and bought a DSL modem and connected that to the wire coming in from the window and then to the router, would that help?

Thanks much,

CH

Is the cable coming from the roof an Ethernet CAT5 cable with an RJ-45 connection to a standard Ethernet NIC in your machine? If so, let's see this:

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Well, that was pretty useless, since you blanked out all the pertinent information.
