Hello,
I was guided through all that D-Link could do for me and was advised by their tech to call my ISP for directions on how to perform the bridge. I did that and as I indicated I was told that I should bring the equipment in for them to configure. I know that they charge for this and had hoped that I could do it at home. As a parting comment the ISP tech said I should go and purchase a Linksys router as no bridging would be required. Well I have all ready purchased this D-Link and sent off the guarantee, purchase a maintenance agreement and sent the papers for a rebate. My husband and I are both required and hubby who is not computer literate at all is already complaining about the cost of all of this. I don't dare approach him with a requirement to junk this new router and go purchase another or spend more mone for dononbi to configure it. I was hoping that some on on the help newsgroup list could help me.

When you say Bridge are you just trying to connect the modem to the router?
If so In most cases, the UPLINK port on the D-Link should be used to connect to the DSL modem. Do you have a manual for that modem? If not I do and I can send it to you. -- The best live web video on the internet http://www.seedsv.com/webdemo.htm Sharpvision simply the best http://www.seedsv.com "M.

Hello again pc,
I attached all hardware as instructed in the instructions for the router. I attempted to install the router with the instructions and ran into some problems so I contacted the D-link tech and he walked me through everything and when we had completed the installation there is not internet connection so he the d-link tech said that I would need to do a bridge between the modem and the router. Both have wireless capabilities. That is where the rub seems to be from what I detected from the conversation with the d-link tech. No when I received the package with the modem from my ISP a manual was not included. Do you think that there would be information in there that could remedy this problem? The way that I have the hardware set up according to the D-link instruction is that there is a cable from the modem to the router and have ethernet cables from my desktop and my husband's desktop computers to the router. At a later date if and when funds allow I may put a wireless card in my husbands computer but I don't intend to put one in my desktop as the router, modem, and phone lines are running from my work space.

PC,
Do you suppose that you could give me some guidance in accomplishing the attached task as I am thinking that maybe I can keep this d-link and not have to return it and could make this set up work with out too much more work and not require me to go to the trouble of returning all of this as I have already sent off the rebate papers for it. Mary I contacted actiontec and this is what I received from them: Mary, DO NOT reply to this email. This is a send only account. You wrote: I have today purchased a D-Link Wirless 108G Router (Dl-624) so I can run a second computer from the modem. I need to know how to bridge the two. I don't want to have to disconnect everything and take it to my ISP (donobi.com)as they desire if I can do this at home myself. If I have to disconnect I have no service while the equipment is gone. It requires me probably two 35 mile round trips and more funds on a retirement income. The tech as donobi's answer to my problem is to buy another different router. Thank you Mary The reponse to this issue is below: ================================================== =============== The GT701-WG is already a router, as well as a DSL Modem. You do not need another router. If you need additional ports for a wired connection, a 10/100 hub or switch with an uplink port would be a better solution since they are "dumb" devices that do not do any routing. When you have two routers connected, each must be on a separate network address and subnet, and you must set a route between the two network subnets. Also, by default the D-Link routers use the same LAN IP address as the GT701-WG, so you would need to change the LAN IP address of one of them to be in a different network addressing scheme, such as 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.3.1 etc. Setting up mutliple routers, static routing, non-Actiontec hardware, and other Advanced Networking, is outside of the normal scope of support of this product, but is available through our Pay-For-Support program. The charge for the Pay-For-Support line is $29.95 per incident. The phone number for our Pay-For-Support line is 1-888-825-9075. ================================================== =============== "pcbutts1" <> wrote in message news:l97le.1613$ m... > When you say Bridge are you just trying to connect the modem to the > router?

Ok I will try but it is very involved. What the tech guy told you is correct
you really did not need the D-Link. First download the modem manual from here http://www.seedsv.com/downloads/actiontec.pdf This manual is from Qwest but is basically the same. Chapter 6 tells you how to configure a bridge, like the guy said you will have to change the default IP address for the modem it's in the manual. Try that first then plug in a cable between the two using the uplink ports. If that does not work then we will try something else. -- The best live web video on the internet http://www.seedsv.com/webdemo.htm Sharpvision simply the best http://www.seedsv.com "M.

Thanks. > Mary > Why would you go buy another wireless router when the Actiontec GT701-WG DSL Modem with Wirless Gateway is a router? http://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/about-NAT.asp That above is what Actiontec already provides as a wire/wireless NAT router. It seems to me that you don't need the D-link router and you should have gotten what's in the link and plugged either one into the 1 port the Actiontec router has to extend the network and plug in other machines into them still using the Actiontec router as the gateway device. http://www.homenethelp.com/web/expla...d-switches.asp How many computes do you have? How many are wireless and not wireless? Or you could turn that D-link router into a wire/wireless Access Point switch as the router has a built in switch. The principle of connecting the two routers are the same no matter what brand of if they are wire or wireless. http://tinyurl.com/5sjf3 Duane  |
