I gotta a network all on a static IP range of 123.846.2.100. I cant get the internet working on any of my computers and was wondering if I have to change the router's IP address to get this to work? If so how do I do it? Please not I CANT change my static IP's.

Are you sure you are making a good connection on your DSL? You can have a positiive Link condition but no valid connection. Access the router's config and click on the "status" tab. It should say "Connected". If it says anything else, it's no good.

I know the dsl connection is good, running a proxy server and all can get access through that. Im almost tempted to stick with the proxy server, but I cant figure out how to get OE email to work with it.
When i do hookup the router and "sign on" I do get a connected message...
Is it time to toss this thing or what?

Hi
Dsl modem to wan port on router....uplink to hub. all comps are routed into hub via cat5, including server.
Kinda foggy right now...but i believe the connections for router are as stated above. I think what im typing is correct. It just seems odd to me that i can access and configure the router through the server, but cant surf...
Theres got to be one small piece that im missing....thanks for all the patience

Where is the proxy running and how are the computers set to use the proxy? What type of proxy is it? Hardware/software? Is it set to block all except authorized traffic? Can you ping or it's IP address?
Open a browser on one of the machines and go to Tools > Internet Options. Go to Connection tab and click LAN settings. Uncheck the proxy setting and see if you can browse.

i am running analog x proxy.
When I am running the proxy...I disconnect the router and run the proxy off the server. Ie, run the cat5 directly to the dsl modem.
They (the clients) are configured to use port 6588 to connect through the proxy

Did you remove the proxy settings before trying to browse?
Can you ping external addresses?

CTmtnbkr,
Yes, you exit the proxy but do you remove the proxy settings from IE before you try to use it with the router?
You say the clients are configured to access the proxy through port 6588. Do they actually enter a url addressing the proxy or is it set in the browser? In Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, I assume you have the address of the proxy and the port number, right? Well, if the proxy is not running, how can you browse?
You need to either reconfigure the browser to NOT use the proxy or set the proxy up to use the DSL through the router.
A proxy can be used to:
- share an internet connection without a router and/or
- provide protection from intrusion or restrict outgoing access.
Now that you have a router, you need to consider whether to run without the proxy or to keep it in the picture. You can do either depending on your needs. That decision will affect what you need to do next. Leaving the proxy in means that you can leave the client configurations the same and just reconfigure the proxy. It does mitigate the benefits of the router slightly. If you opt to ditch the proxy, you will need to reconfigure all of the clients. If you were using the proxy to restrict internet access, you will lose that ability to some extent.
Hope that helps. What goes around - comes around.
