Netgear wireless router configuration for Supanet? - Page 2

Was the Zoom just a modem or was it a modem router? If it was a modem router did it work on your ADSL line as well as his?

What I'm getting at is you're trying to set up the Netgear router to access a Supanet ADSL connection in your home. If you're not on Supanet I'm not sure it could ever work...

I see what you`re saying mate but i spent 2 and a 1/2 hours round his house this morning trying to set it up on his connection/phone line/pc. Sorry if i did`nt make that clear in the op.

Right, I`m sending the Netgear router back and just bought a Linksys WAG200G-UK wireless router. I think that the problem may also be that an incorrect driver is installed for the Network adapter on his Mobo. That would maybe explain why i can`t get an IP address. Is that right.?

If you could browse to the Netgear web interface, there shouldn't have been anything wrong with the NIC. The PC needs to be set up to obtain an IP automatically from the router via DHCP, is that the case?

I get as far as the message " A connection to the internet cannot be found"

Right........ An Update.
I plugged in the Linksys and it configured itself and i can get straight onto the Internet.!

Obviously the Netgear was faulty.
Cheers all for your help, especially Cobby. Cheers Mate.
