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.

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)

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

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.

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
