I use a Netgear WPN824 to access ADSL (Bellsouth). The DSL modem only goes to the 824 router.
The router connects wirelessly to a laptop but I can not connect via a wired connection to a desktop with a fresh XP SP2 image.
Here is what I have found
1)From the desktop I do ipconfig and see an IP has been assigned to the hardwired desktop
2)From the laptop I go to the 824 router and look at connected devices. The desktop does NOT show there.
3)The router is set to use IP assigned by Bellsouth and DNS from OpenDNS
4)The desktop shows an active LAN connection icon at 100 Mbs
5)The desktop has a fresh image of XP SP2. No software or changes have been made.
6)I know the hardwired nic works. I can go directly from modem to pc without the router
Previously, I was able to access the network wirelessly from the desktop but I wanted to change to a faster and more stable wired connection.
Can anyone give me any direction?
