Cable Modem and Wireless Setup, any guide will be useful

[magneto77]

Hello Guys & Gals,

I have a Motorola SB5100 SurfBoard & a D-LINK DI-624+ (802.11g 2.4Ghz Wireless) Router

Need to configure this to items with a wired connection to a Desktop PC.

Not doing a wireless connection as yet, any guides I can follow or any assistance I get from anyone at this forum will be greatly appreciated.

Running WINXP, am about to go through the WIZARD on the Router but i think i need to add DNS of my ISP.

Cheers,

I have worked with the D-link router in question. Connect the surfboard RJ-45 connection that normally goes to the PC into the WAN port on the router. Connect the PC to port 1 on the switch portion of the router. Connect to the default ip address which I believe is a 192.168.1.1 address in Internet Explorer by typing

http://192.168.1.1

From there tell the router to determine both the IP and DNS automatically like you do your nic card in your PC. Then tell the router to emulate your NIC's MAC address as if it was your PC. After doing those steps disable your wireless or set it up with Encryption and a SSID number for security purposes. Make sure to write down all information you enter for future purposes. Oh and change the password and IP address of the Router to something more secure than 192.168.1.1 and "admin"

Hope this helps.
