i just moved from edmonton to vancouver and i'm hooked up with the same internet provider, but now my router won't work.

i'm hooked up directly to the net right now but i'd rather run through the router.

i'm not very computer-tech savy so can anyone offer any suggestions?

ask me whatever you need to know and i'll find it out if i can.

thanks,

Well, for starters unplug your cable modem (the power cord) and then unplug the ethernet to your computer...Make sure the router is off, then plug an ethernet wire from your modem into the router's internet port, then plug another ethernet cord from port 1 of the router to your computer's NIC...

Then powerup the modem by plugging in the power cable, then once that's booted up, plug in the router.

I know that's a bit "Easy and obvious" but usually that would do the trick...

If you can connect to the LAN perfectly fine, then make sure your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 (Or the IP address of the router if you have it configured differently)

You can do that through control panel/network settings/right click on local area network/properties/ TCP IP protocol/properties and then put it in through there.

You da man

i knew it was a simple boot up problem. strangely, the insternet hook up guy couldn't figure it out when he was here.

thanks again.
