![]() Hi, Having had enough of ICS & inheriting a router I decided to get a modem I could plug into it, the BT Voyager 100 doesn't have a LAN port, so I've got a Netgear DM602 that I'd like to swap over. Trouble is I can't get it to work... I'm just trying to get the modem working on 1 PC for now, I'll worry about the router later. Changed TCP/IP & DNS settings to obtain automatically & the thing's plugged in & all the relevant lights are on. When I try to open http://192.168.0.1 to setup the modem I get page not found messages. I've been through the trouble shooting guide - double check TCP/IP setting, restart, unplug modem for 10 secs, restart. Repair this connection on the LAN card says it fails with finding IP address. Frankly I'm stumped, I can't imagine it's the LAN card as it works fine with ICS. Hopefully I'm doing something obviously daft that someone can point out for me. Any suggestion most welcome. Thanks.

It needs a differnet address otherwise talking to 192.168.0.1 is the smae as talking to 127.0.0.1 ie you're talking to yourself what is the modem, BTW ? Phil |

TCP/IP is set to "Obtain IP address automatically" I thought this was the address asigned to the LAN card?
