thanks for the input guys but i just got done with tech support and its gettin RMAed.  I hope the next one does better cause its a good router.

thats basically what it looks like except i cant click the release or renew buttons,  they are greyed out.

thats what i was afraid of.  my friend just brought me a linkseys wrt54g and i can connect thru it no problem.  i guess that means my dlink is trash.  everything else works with it just no internet connection.

do you mean the DHCP release and renew buttons on the router status page ?  if so i cant click them they are inactive.

i have 1.6 firmware.  i am at work right now but i believe on the status page it showed no numbers.  i didnt try the release/renew......is that run....cmd....iprelease  then iprenew ?  i r n00b to this and want to make sure i do it right before i RMA it.

it is set back to factory settings.  it worked out of the box the first time i hooked it up,  about a month ago.  this problem just happened a few days ago.  the router just wont establish a connection with the modem.  i am so lost right now

yes i can do everything but get online.

could my ISP have done something so my router cant connect to the modem ?

i have a dlink dgl 4300 wireless router that until monday night worked great.  the network still works great we can see each other and share files and all that but now we cant access the internet,  which we could do before.  i can connect straight to modem (SB5120) and get online no problem but the router wont connect to the modem.  my internet connection shows under "INTERNET GATEWAY"  in my network connections as disabled and when i try to enable it i see "connecting : connected" but it still shows disabled and i get no net.  any help would be great since i am obviously too stupid to figure it out.  i have swapped cables,  reset,  rebooted and kicked a hole in the wall...........whats left ?

ISP=COX

how much better will 2.0 modem be compared to a 1.0 ?  if this is a stupid question sorry.  IRN00B

damn i'm not as stupid as i thought.

ok whats the difference ?

please do not punish us almighty one.

i'm in the market for a new modem as well.  lets ask the broadband god van buren what he has.  he seems to know his stuff

man it sounds like you have the same problem i do.

thanks

i thought it might have been BS but i thought i would ask.  if i'm gonna replace my cable i might as well do it right.

is there any special brand of coax cable that yall prefer ?

DAMN   so where do you live and what is your service package ?

this kills me to see the speeds yall are talking about.  i live in GA and Cox only offers up to 5000/768.  i have 4000/512 and at the moment cant keep a steady speed.  my download is all over the place from as low as 500 up to the 4000.  my upload is always near 512 and many times has been higher.
