    rtfm?

    Does it accept more than one input? Do you have a switch. Give more info please.

    Oh, and welcome to Kiwibiker.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Just get your new DSL router working on one PC, and then plug the others in.

    Use the operating system wizzards / stuff on each PC to configure from there.

    What type of 1992 Yamaha?

    You should see me with my eastwing hammer, its my favourite router tool. I prefer the axe for switches and hubs, seems to cut thru the crap quicker.

    Just plug in all the necessary cables, wack in http://192.168.1.1/ into your browser and you should be able to configure it from there. If you can't get to the routers web interface turn off ALL firewalls and then create a new network connection in the control panel.

    BTW: RTFM means Read The Fuckin' Manual :].


    I've got a Dynalink RTA770 and it's the fuckin' BOMB!

    Unfortunately RTFM doesn't always apply, and even when attempted it doesn't mean the reader will understand. After having said to her that the people on KB might be helpful it is rather shameful some of the responses!

    The 1992 Yamaha will be one of my bikes that she has ridden, and that was a virago.

    She has a single Dynalink broadband modem as supplied by slingshot. After flatmates nagged her she went to a store and guy assured her this router just needs to be plugged into her modem (Computer to router/router to modem/modem to line) and would work right away. But thats not the case. She wants to plug all 3 computers into the router and make it so that all three computers can surf the internet/chat/download using the modem she has. I've had a look at the web based setup and I can't get it going either.

    It is an Asus modem, with 4 ports for computers to plug in, plus I believe WAN and maybe a few other ports but I don't have it in front of me so she would have to tell you.

    Easy way out for you: Return the product, tell them you were told, plug it in, and it will work. It hasn't. Buy a switch (should be cheaper too). Vast majority auto config themselves into the network.

    2nd option. I don't have any details on the router, but does it function as a modem? Most do. Config the router as the only device (remove the old single port modem/router). If you want greater detail, I need more details on the router that you bought.

    edit: I love the irony of this thread and your name... Welcome to KB
