[G4] HOW TO MAKE MY DSL ROUTER WORK....

[Snow White]

What OS are you using?

I have 10.3 and it could not be simpler.  Plug the WAN port to the 
modem and plug your computer into the ethernet port (on router).  Set 
NETWORK pref (comp prefs) to DHCP over Built-in Ethernet so router can 
give a number to the computer on your side of the firewall (firewall 
built-in router).  Then launch your web brouser and log into your 
router (check the manual for the router).

Asante is  http://192.168.123.254/
D-Link is  http://192.168.0.1/
LinkSys is  http://192.168.1.1/

Your password is
admin
on all these routers.

Once logged in you can set it up any way your ISP requires - if you 
call them they will help.
I have seen modems not work properly as well.  If you have done 
everything right and it doesn' t work then take the router back and get 
another one.  After my 5 yr old Asante router died I had 2 D-Link 
routers (new and in a row) fail in the same day.  I will never purchase 
D-Link again - ever.  I now have the LinkSys router.

Hope this all helps.
