Not sure where to post this, but here goes...
Tried to install a router to an existing dsl modem today and could not get it to work. The connection is Verison dhcp, and it works fine when the modem is connected directly to the computer, but when you put the router in the loop, the computer gets an ip address from the router, but can't connect to the internet. Can ping the router, but not a website. We tried 3 different computers and two brand new routers (1 linksys, 1 d-link) with the same results, so it's not the computers or the router as far as I can tell. What would make the modem work when connected directly, but not when going through a router? Modem is Fujitsu Speedport supplied by Verizon. any ideas welcome.
