Router w/o Broadband
Well, currently I am on dial-up. I SHOULD have broadband in a few weeks using a new wireless technology (not satilite) that uses standard PPPoE. So, that network cable that would come from the wireless device would normally go in to the WAN port on a router... What if my internet is dialup? Can I just make it a wireless switch for now?
When I plug my server into a normal LAN port, I don't get connection to the internet. Half the time I try to access a location on the internet, I am redirected to http://www.netgear.com/welcome.htm and then an error saying the requested URL cannot be found... When I plug my server into the WAN port, I get full internet access but don't know what it does to file sharing.. OS: Windows Server 03 R2 Routing and Remote Access Server Physical Router - Netgear WGT624 Wireless Router Thanks, Joseph Jam it back in, in the dark.

You're exactly right...
The problem is that I would like the router to act as a switch for now. I don't know if that's possible. Since the RJ-11 plugs into the internal modem, I just need to use the router as a switch (...wireless switch) in the interum. About every other time I go to a site I am immediatly directed back to the router's configuration which can't be found (because it keeps wanting to redirect routerlogin.net to netgear.com). Thank you for your help. (by the way, how did you all learn to make your own cable... I followed a tutorial on LANSHACK, but it turned sour and wouldn't work...) Joseph Most amazing jew boots |

Awsome, thanks, I put together my first successful cable today!
I think I can live a little while with the hassle of this router. I don't understand it. A router is confusing. I have 2 computers, router, and a switch. I connect the 2 computers to the switch. The switch to the router. The router to the 'internet' (haven't completed this step since I'm still on dialup). If I try to use remote desktop to connect with this setup I get an error saying my network layout prevents me from connecting. However, when I unplug the cable going from router to switch (leaving the router not plugged into anything) I get a connection. I don't understand this. How does everyone seem to know everything about routers? The wikipedia definitions and howstuffworks articles don't seem to give enough... Joseph This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
