[SOLVED] Linksys Router Problem

absolutirishkid · 09-23-2008, 08:18 AM

I work in a small office of 4 people.
We connect through a Linksys WRT54G router and have a DSL connection through SBC.

3 of the computers have no problems connecting, but every morning, when the 4th computer connects, we have to unplug and plug back in the router so that it recognizes that computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix that?
I have tried going to router's setup page (192.168.1.1), but can't really figure out the problem, and I don't want to change any settings without some advice because I would probably just screw it up more.

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Is this always the same computer, is it always the last to connect, are you using DHCP?
You can check IP Addresses for conflicts, or try switching the ports on the router to determine if its a port or a computer.Try connecting in a different order,

it is not always the last to connect. it just depends on when that employee gets to work. sometimes it's the first, but we still have the problem.
Using PPPoe. although further down the setup page, it says DHCP Server is enabled.

Let's see a screen shot of the WAN configuration page in the router. Also, the exact make/model of the DSL modem please.

WELL, NEVERMIND.

Our IT department just told us that sometime in the next couple weeks, we'll be getting a T1 - so we won't have to deal with this problem anymore.

Thanks anyways!
