Before i start i am aware that the router im discussing is ridden with issues but the determination in me hopes i can find the answer to make it work. Here we Go:
I have a Belkin ADSL Moden with Wireless G Router (model: FSD7632). I have wired it up to my pc using ethernet rather than wirelessly to start. I have went to the configuration wizard (192.168.2.1) and all seemed to set up well till i realised that the router wasnt hosting the internet connection.
Even after trying to manualy configure it i am still having no joy.
My PC dosent have an ethernet connection on the motherboard and so it conects through a PCI slot but im almost certain this shouldnt be the issue as my connection worked with my usual modem.
My ISP is AOL.
The router is connecting as IP 192.168.2.1 as requested in the manual.
The ethernet PCI connection is IP 192.168.2.2. Auto Config.
My OS is XP Home SP2.
Many thanks for any help or advice given!
