SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi everyone, I am working on a DirecWay 6000 Satellite modem. It works fine connected directly to the computer. I installed a Netgear wireless router with four ports. I can communicate to the router just dandy. I can't get to the internet. I always get "page can not be displayed message". I tried telling the router to not automatically find the connection and plugged in the servers manually. I still had no luck. Any help from someone experienced with this type system would be appreciated. Best, Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteolorin Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 If you're trying to get noticed with this by posting the same thing multiple times it's not necessary. People will eventually get around to reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi and welcome to the site, hope you like it and tell your friends. Try unplugging your router and cable modem fro bout 30 minutes to get it to reset. The modem is probably what is giving you trouble. Try it, if it doesnt work post again.

SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 hi, thanks for the reply. I did what you said. No luck!.. I can ping the modem just fine. Also, I see my computer listed on the router. I am just not getting out from my computer to the internet. I can unplug the router and go direct from the sat modem just fine. Also, i did not mean to cross post. I was not sure where this topic belonged. Sorry to have riled you folks. ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hell you didnt rile anybody. Moving stuff is my job here. Anyway that is the only idea I had sorry, I had directway a long time ago and hated it. hopefully someone else will be able to solve your problem.

SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 another thought....why was my post under Direct TV eliminated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well you said it works untill you hook it to the router right so it must be a networking issue. Two posts in two diffrent sections are not needed. You will get all the help you need with one post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hey m8, Where are the smart guys...these girls are getting antsie. I am at the office right now trying to figure this problem out. Tell me something....if I did away with the router altogether and bought a hub, would this solve the problem? I could plug our computer plus the wireless access point into the hub, I believe. Also, I have since found out (before this post) that the Directway 6000 acts as it's own router. This would be the reasoning behind why I get a 192.168.1.101 on a ipconfig through winders xp. any thoughts? ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Man I know nothing about this stuff... hopefully Van or Micro will be by soon they will probably be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hey SnotRocket ...I'm currently running three computers off a 6000....and all I'm using is a D-link switch... Is a switch different than a router? If not, did you have to do any configuration for it to work? ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yea ..a switch is diffrent....and cheaper....there's no software or firmware involved......hence nothing to configure....just plug it in with a couple of ethernet cables.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 15, 2005 CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 A router is a switch with a DCHP server and NAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 thanks everyone, would a hub suffice as a switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
