Hello All,
I have a dilemma - I have a linksys/vonage WRPT54G and I a just relocated to an area that only has wireless access. I am runing Vista Home premium on a new Gateway laptop.
I was told that I could get a crossover cable and use the ethernet port in my laptop ( while connected to to the web via the internal wireless card ) to the wan/lan port in the WRPT54G to get connectivity to the WRPT54G.
BTW, I also enabled Internet Connection Sharing for the wireless connection with auto DHCP.
When I hooked up the crossover cable to the WRTP54G,, the power, wireless and internet blue lights do come on and I can even see the unsecured linksys router in available networks, however with only local connectivity.
The only way I can access the firmware at the router is to change over to connect to the linksys network ( instead of the regular wireless connection from the internal card) with the password admin/admin.
Once inside the firmware, I can not get the router to get an ip addy, it just remains blank, even after I press dhcp refresh/renew.
I tried everything, even calling linksys who just put me on hold.
Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks, JCC
