Hi, folks
I’m trying to share a DSL modem in a small office. None of my cx scenarios has worked — although, I think, I had it briefly — because I said “bingo”. but then it was gone.
This is a pretty generic set-up. But, it won’t work. I’ve found basic answers and am currently at wits end.
The hardware:
Verizon DSL modem connects to:
Linksys WRT54G v2 via ethernet cable into “internet” port on box.
Linksys WRT54G, Dell Poweredge 400SC server and other PC workstations connect to:
Dell Powerconnect 2124 unmanaged switch.
The Lan, served by the 400SC, works fine.
the verizon DSL is unavailable.
I have tried:
Connecting a 5e Crossover cable from a std. port on the Linksys to the Poweredge in both a std. port (ie 10/100) and also the 10/100/1000 uplink port. NG.
connecting a 5e patch cable from a std. port on the Linksys to the Poweredge in both the std. port and uplink ports. NG
Can anyone shed some clear bright light on this? the IP of the router and the server are: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1. I get the feeling DNS/DHCP figure in this issue but don’t have a clue. If you can direct me to a link or enlighten me please….
thanks
