I don't use your service, however, all routers are basicly the same. First, telnet into the router, this should bring a ascii text menu. You will need to enable Dhcp here, disable appletalk, enable ipx, and disable anything else other than tcp/ip. Then enable dhcp on your machine (note, you will need to correctly config. wins & setup the systems on a sim. network..9x needs to be in a workgroup - Nt on a domain /workgroup.) Read the website, this may have some instructions on the configuration since each router does have a dif. menu schema. Note if you can go static, I would, you can do some creative sub/sup netting if dhcp still doesn't want to work with this system. If you need more indepth help, feel free to write me directly..al31@trdesk / al@bluemoonent.com. Good luck- Al

I hope you figured it all out already. If not.....

Make sure you have the correct cables going into the right ports. The cable from your modem should be upsidedown and the link light (upper right hand LED) should be on. If it's not, check to makesure you are using a regular cable (switch with one that is connected to the computers).

Check to see if you are using the latest firmware. The Latest is 1.22.

Make sure "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" is selected and "PPPoE" is disabled.Apply the settings. Unplug the power for two seconds and reconnect.

Also, are you sure you gave the correct MAC address? On the "Setup" panel, there are two MAC addresses. Make sure your WAN number matches the number you gave your ISP.

I have RR from TimeWarner. I have heard that other providers need weird stuff like DNS suffixes. I hope this info helps.
