Hello D-Link Forums,
I guess as long as I have a computer there will usually be issues. My issue is this:
I have 2 desktop Winxp, one of them is already hooked to a D-Link router, DIR-655 which in turns is linked to the Modem DSL for internet access.
I am trying to link the 2nd computer to the D-Link Router to be able to access the internet.
I attached the Ethernet cable to port2 on the D-link then ran it to the 2nd computer. Turned off the modem and unplugged the D-link, waited, turned the Modem back on, waited for a steady blinking green light (which it did) then I turned the D-link Router back on. Tried to access the internet on the 2nd Winxp, but no go!
So, I took the 2nd Winxp Processor and plugged in all the cables from the 1st PC, with one exception, I plugged the Ethernet directly from the modem to the Processor, and "BAM", no problem with internet connection.
So, at least I know there's no problem with the 2nd Winxp, as far as being able to access the internet, since the Modem supplies a IP address automatically.
My problem is, what am I doing wrong? How do I connect 2 Winxp's to a D-Link connected to a Modem DSL? Am I missing a step or procedure? Obviously I am, because I can't seem to get the 2nd PC once plugged into the 2nd Port on the D-Link.
Please Help!!
