php Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 Welcome to the forum Mattisin To connect directly to your modem you may need a crossover cable instead of a patch cable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 try power cycling the modem, restarting the computer.. my guess is that the modem isnt detecting the switch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattisin Posted August 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 I used to be able to plug the network cable straight into my comp's built-in network card. Yesterday i messed around with the properties and changed the media type to another setting rather that leave it at auto-detect, just to see what whould happen. Well, no more connection is what happend. could it be a power issue? Or is my comp's built in network card just a piece?

Swimmer Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 if your connection requires you to use a specific values for the IP address, DNS, and Subnet then you kinda just messed everything up.. If you were playing around with the windows below you need to call your ISP before you can connect back straight into the modem.. You are going to need the values that go in those boxes..

Mattisin Posted August 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 HEY! I just got it to work again. I think this onboard card is a real piece. Does anyone really recommend not using onboard network cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 Mattisin you need to go into the modem control panel, there is a setting in there called Bridge eathernet, you need to turn it off, most cable & dsl modems are auto sensing, for when you have it pluged into a computer or router, it will turn it on or off. I had that same problem with a toshiba modem i had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MttFrog13 Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 Go to ur connections and go to ur connection u use and go to support and enter the default gateway number into ur browser as if it was a website. This is what it looks like for me, but i'm not sure if it will work for u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattisin Posted August 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm pretty sure that gateway is for when your using a router. Your using one right? thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 a gateway is just a combination of a router and modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
