I recently purchased a Linksys Cable/DSL Router to use on my PacBell DSL connection with my home network. I have an Alcatel DSL moden and an always-on, static IP from PacBell.
The Linksys config is really simple:
1. plug the WAN interface into the DSL modem
2. plug the LAN interface into the network hub
3. use a networked machine to access the web interface on the router and input the WAN info (IP, Subnet, and DNS)
4. that's all!
Well the LAN part works fine. I can ping the router, access the web interface, and receive the DHCP info on all my networked machines. But the WAN link light on the router never lights up and I have no internet access from any machine.
I know the WAN info is correct because I can put it into any machine on the network, plug that machine into the router and it works fine.
Does anyone have any experience with this Linksys device? Or perhaps have any suggestions that I could follow?
