another router question

[jdbic]

I have a d-link DI-704P. I went to the web site got the quik setup guide and the manual (I can't find mine). Followed the directions
I'm using dsl. Win xp pro. Well I can't connect when the router is hooked up the way the directions say, so I can't get to the routers web page for setup. But the dsl modem alone works fine.
Any Ideas?

are the computers that are behind the router grabbing an ip address?

also are you using revision A,B,C of the router? they release three different types from the looks of the website

I'm using the b. I reset it to factory default according to the manual. It was hooked up to my other computer, but I lost the phone line on that one so I need too use it on this one. Just a reverse usage.

when you connect the computer to the router, it should give it a 192.168.... number. Do you get this?

How do I find out if the router got that number?

for the computer that is connected to the router

which you said is running win xp

go to start> run> type cmd> then ipconfig

this will give you the ip address that the current machine has

I did the ipconfig. I didn't see any 192.168 number.

what number did you get?

[jdbic]

Does the router need to be connected when do the ipconfig? Right now it is not connected because I wouldn't be able to get internet access. the auto config address is 169.254.100.48
there are 4 more adresses listed

what you need to do is this

connect the router to the modem, and then connect the computer to the router.

turn on the router, then the cable modem, then the computer

then check the ip address.
