DG864 Router Kwak?

As for getting Linux off it - well you need a copy of Windows with a valid CD Key to get started on that

Thems easy, let me know when you want to try again and I'll see if I can help you.

DG834G? its not auto detecting my settings? and the install keeps failing?

Re: computers
 

All you should need to do is put in your ADSL username and password (at least to get ADSL working)

ADSL Settings

Multiplexing Method LLC-BASED VC-BASED VPI VCI That should be common to all UK ISP's

Encapsulation PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) PPPoA (PPP over ATM) Login
Password
Idle Timeout (In Minutes)

Re: computers
 

yea did that but it wanted my ip address ect and it couldnt auto detect them its self.

Re: computers
 

WAN or LAN address

WAN is the address on your ISP's network - should be auto assigned.

LAN can only be set automatically if you have a DHCP server on your network, which I assume you dont have.

Switch DHCP on in the router config

soulkiss i need you here:) i'm a complete dill when it comes to doing anything like this.

Re: computers
 

Correction.

You need to give it an address in the 10.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.0 subnets

My config

LAN IP Setup

LAN TCP/IP Setup
IP Address 192.168.0.1 IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 RIP Direction BOTH RIP Version RIP-2M Use Router as DHCP Server Starting IP Address 192.168.0.128 Ending IP Address 192.168.0.250 You then need to set up wifi so that only know equipment will get an address tho
