Please log in for more thread options I'm having a heck of a time setting up a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. After staring at several of the fields in the setup page, I realized that what I'm lacking is an understand of what each of the IP addresses, etc. means. Is there a tutorial for beginners, not so much of "type this in this field" help, but more a thinking person's guide: "A DSL modem will have a fixed address, relative to the LAN you're setting up..." and such. I Googled, but while I found lots of people asking specific questions and getting them answered, I found little tutorial information. Thanks, John -- John English moviepotatoe .

I found the same thing after three different calls -- both language and technical barriers. I found the book "Mastering Cisco Routers" to have good info, but A good web tutorial must be out there somewhere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Well, I talked with people over in India about the Linksys 11S4 and how to connect it to my WatchGuard and then to people in India on how to connect the WatchGuard up that was going to be the gateway device, recently. I had no problems in understand or getting the technical information I needed. Duane :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Did you try hitting the "help" button in the upper right of the Linksys WRT54G setup screens? Did you check the Linksys web pile? They have an educational page: http://www.linksys.com/edu/ that walks you through most of the basics. It only seems to work with IE6 and blows up with Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape.
