ASDL modem / D-Link DI-704 router

[stinebiz]

I am trying to to set up multiple clients from my ASDL modem and DI-704 router. I configured my router using PPPoE and user name and password. It seems to be correctly configured and dynamically assigned an IP adderss from my SP, but I can't access the internet. Am I missing a step? Without the router I have two "network connections"...my adsl which authenicates me and my NIC configuration. When using the router, should I still need to authenticate or should the router do it for me? Whenever I open my web browser it just times out and tries to "redial"

Did you follow the installation guide here:

The router should take care of the autentication. Your NIC configuration should be a TCP/IP based network, automatically assigned IP address from the router (acting as a DHCP server). Is the pc getting the right IP address from the router (192.168.0.xxx)?

Have you called your ISP and told them that you need to register the MAC address of your router,,,,
Remember that they are seeing your routers MAC and not the NIC your machines, if you were set up previously... You need to tell them the MAC of the WAN side of the router.. Most ISPs require this....
Also if this doesn't help, you didn't say what OS and if you were able to ping the router from your machine.

Dudesplace may be right about your isp checking the mac address. This model router can clone the mac address of your network card. This proceedure is described in the installation guide above.

Thanks for the advice, but no luck. I actually switched my DSL connection from my laptop to my desktop with no problem, so it probably isn't the MAC address. I tried everything suggested in D-Link web site.

I can ping my router, and it is being assigned an IP from my ISP, but I can't ping the DNS servers that show up, or any anything beyond my gateway. I'm stumped.

I'm using XP

Use the connect button on the main page of the router when you log into it. Then check what \the log from the DI-704 says and that may give an answer to ya. I've got the same router with DSL and it works easily on my end.
