resopalrabotnick Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 you either have a crossover from modem to router or not, whichever it is, you need to use the other cable type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 dont call rr for a new modem, most likely you just using the wrong cable type, a crassover cable. That allows you to connect 2 devices with out a router/switch/hub. Some modems required a crossover cable when going to a router. Change the cable and it should work.

FallowEarth Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 Did you connect wirelessly to the router? Have you connected the NIC on your PC before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted November 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 no i connect directly...router and modem are connected by a ethernet cord with then goes inside the router and then out the other ethernet cord to my pc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 yeah. use the cord that was router/modem or the one that was modem pc. one should work. if not, you need to get a crossover ethernet cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 You sure you got it hooked up right? LOL I wonder if it is possibly the duplexing of your NIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_6985381 Posted November 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 how would i reset my modem, turn it on and off? first disconnecting it from router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 Like FallowEarth says, sounds like your PC NIC may be set to 100base/t static, and most of those Toshiba modems (like the one in front of me now) are 10 base/t. I would be sure your NIC is set at auto sensing for now, and then power everything down for a minute, then power back up, modem first, then PC. BTW, just unplug the modem power for a minute, then plug it back in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted November 15, 2005 CID Share Posted November 15, 2005 well, now for thr obvious question that might make you want to keep the router, doesn' t it have some security functions like port filtering, icmp blocking that are a good idea to have?

I dont no what to do Please help, honestly i dont feel like running my router and modem at the same time.. :whaa: Any time you change equipment on a DOCCIS modem (your modem) you will need to hard reset the modem. Do this by removing the power cable from the back of the modem. Wait an honest minute and then reconnect the power and within about 3 minutes everything should be running just fine. Good Luck!
