[SOLVED] Belkin wireless router!

Re: Belkin wireless router!

Just looking up to see if that modem is in fact a router/modem combination , if so then the linksys router may have been set up a special way to work with another router

another alternative is that the router had a MAC address cloned and your ISP uses this for the connection and by changing the router the MAC address has changed
I dont know the ISP that well outside UK - so need to look up AT&T - MAC address is a uninique number format xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx - which is on every network device

now inthe meantime - would you connect the PC directly to the modem
and post back the following information

Have you also carried out a complete powercycle with the modem/router and PC - see below

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ipconfig /all
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here

We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all post back the results in a reply here

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):

In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt

It will export the results to notepad and then automatically open notepad.

Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results to a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will be highlighted
Next
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy
Now go back to the forum - reply and then right click in the reply box and paste

Re: Belkin wireless router!

Does the linksys router still work if you connect that back up and powercycle ?

The results where connected directly to the modem - correct

well your not getting an IP from the modem/ISP 169.254.x.x is supplied by windows when it cannot find a dhcp service.

I'm assuming the PC is OK
what are the lights on the modem status
is there a model number on the bottom of the unit

AT&T have checked your line up to the unit, As its a AT&T supplied modem , i would talk to them again about just connecting the PC to the Modem and get that working as thats all there kit and you wont be into discussing routers makes and whos responsible

Ask them if they have a registered Mac ID for you - its a number xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx

your Modem should have the Mac address written on a label on the bottom

your PC mac address is
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : A4-BA-DB-F5-7F-0E

just in case they use that as authorisation -
