ta mystery.


i'm still having problems if anyone can help...

i'm using blueyonder broadband, and i'm installing a Linksys Wireless-G modem, so i can connect multiple PC's to my cable connection.

Firstly, it says in the setup.. "If requested by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete the Host Name and Domain Name fields. Otherwise , leave them blank." - obviously i'm on cable connection, so i presume i must do this. how do i get the Host Name & Domain name ?

It says i then have to select what config i have out of "Auto, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP. i presume i am to use "Static IP" since i'm on cable and therefore have a static IP. Because i selected static IP, im prompted to enter the information i earlier requested. i get this from the cmd prompt...

so i put in..

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

which is right i presume!?

any help on the first bit would be great, thanks!

That can't be right. Those are the IP's Windows gives when it can't find the proper ones.

you'd be wanting a dynamic IP for blueyonder (auto)

these are the default settings for your LAN/WLAN. they are not your internet settings.

(yeah, i made the same mistake, hehe)

according to my ISP, blueyonder i dont even need to enter any of the information, i should just leave the whole thing as automatic, still doesn't work though, so it must be something else. grrrrrr.

thanks for your help anyway guys!

absolute arseholes, just sorted the way they said not to do it. insted of doing the 'manual input' like it suggested, i just slapped in the auto-run CD which is meant for other types of connection and it worked. oh well, alls well that ends well!

might aswell ask while this thread is open, can anyone tell me how i find my real i.p. address since the above way doesnt work. thanks v.much!

does yours have web-based configuration? if so, go to that page (probably 192.168.1.1, or otherwise specified), and all the information you need should be on display.
