Im trying to sort out a connection between the surfboard 5100 (telewest ISP) and a linksys WRT54GC. so i can have wireless connection for a Dell laptop, ive gone into the router settings and set it up for PPPOE connection (as advised from telewest) but there is no connection. the modem works fine connected to the main computer via the usb but ive tried the modem on a Dell laptop using the network connection but i get a limited connection warning saying it cant assign an ip address. could this be the issue?
ive looked on the website for the modem and they say you can connect using a router... so what am i doing wrong???
Can anybody help me before this equipment has a nasty accident with a
6lb hammer...
