Trouble setting up Netgear WGT624
Setting up Netgear WGT624 on BellSouth DSL with a Westell B90 modem, and the PC has a Realtek RTL8139 NIC ethernet.
Problem
Can't connect between the wired pc and the internet while running setup. All of the indicator lights seem fine, and can get get connectivity thru the router from a PC that's got a wireless NIC in it. Tried getting into windows xp "my network places" and repair on the connection, Im getting a message that there is an error in renewing IP address. The direct connection from the wired computer to the modem to the internet is fine, When tried to install the router the settings get messed and had to fix it by running the BellSouth installation CD. Tried the Netgear recommended power down & power back up sequence multiple times with no success. Also tried completely uninstalling my antivirus & firewall thinking that might be the problem, but the results are the same.
Solution
Take these steps to run ipconfig/all:
1) click start
2) click run
3) in the box type "cmd" (without quote marks) & then click the "ok" button - this will launch a DOS style window
4) if you're not at the "c:\" (without quote marks) prompt type "cd.." (without quote marks) & hit enter
5) repeat step above until you're at the "c:\" prompt
6) type "cls" (without quote marks) & hit enter
7) type "ipconfig/all" (w/o quote marks) & hit enter
See what happens...
If your IP address is same for all three connections (ex:- "IP Address.......................: 192.168.1.96"), then, there is something wrong. When you're connecting through a router you would get the 192.168.x.x type of (private) address, but, typically, when you're connecting from the computer directly to your cable modem you would get an assigned (public) IP address used to access your ISP's network.
Many cable modems will require a reset when you connect a different device to it. Reset your modem and restart everything slowly. That should do the trick.
