Connecting a wireless router to a adsl modem

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here can shed some light on a problematic
issue for me?

A friend of mine has a DI-624 wireless router which he is trying to
connect to the internet via a BT Voyager 205 ADSL modem but he's
experience huge issues.

Can anyone help advise what we should do to get things working?

The ISP is Bulldog, if it makes any difference.

Kind regards,

Crucifer

Could you be a bit more specific? For instance, what OS are you using?
Other than the ASDL modem, what device(s) (MAKE and MODEL) will be
connected to the DI-624? What specific problem(s) or 'huge issues" are you
experiencing? Are the problems associated with accessing the internet,
sharing files, enabling encryption, etcetera? Answering these questions
will greatly improve your chances of finding assistance in solving your
problem(s).

Ok... The OS of the primary pc is Win98.

Apart from the BT Voyager 205 modem, there won't be any other devices
except for a laptop using the wireless card that came in the bundle.

At the moment, we really need help with how to set up the wireless
router with the ADSL modem so that we can connect to the internet.

We've tried setting up PPPoE on the router and disabling DHCP (and
giving the pc and router a static ip address that fits on the ip
network of the modem - i.e. 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.250) so that
the router has the username and password of the isp connection, all to
no avail.

The best we've accomplised is getting the pc to be able to ping the
modem AND the router but for some reason, the router cannot bring up
the connection details of the modem - i.e. it says connecting but
that's it...

Once again, any help with advising us possible steps would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Be sure to set the adsl modem as a bridge.

Hi Steve,

Although it's his modem and router, he's asked me to get it working.
He's not very savvy when it comes to computers.

I've also been around his house for about 2 hours struggling to see why
things won't work so I do know the lay of the land with his internet
connection issues.

Johnny,

Ok... er how do I do this?

Will it be an obvious option in the web config page or need i do
something particularly finnicky?

Thanks

According to http://www.voyager.bt.com/205/prodinfo.htm, the BT Voyager 205
is an ASDL Router containing one USB and one ethernet socket. Connect the
DI-624 to the BT Voyager 205 via ethernet cable (LAN port to LAN port).
Disable the DHCP on the DI-624. The BT Voyager 205 "should" assign an ip
address to the DI-624. Plug the laptop into the DI-624 via an ethernet
cable. Make sure that it is set to obtain an IP address automatically.
You should be able to get on the internet.

Hi Doug,

I also tried that - mimicing a WAP I think the manual I checked called
it but that also failed to work.
The router shows that it's trying to get an ip address and connecting
but that's as far as it gets.

I know the modem works because when connected to a pc I can get onto
the internet but not through the router.

Is there anything else more in depth I can try regarding the router -
to test it?

I've asked my IT Department if I can "borrow" a broadband connection to
see if the router can actively get a connection to the internet - I'll
post back here how I get on.

Thanks again guys for all the advice and input, it's very much
appreciated!

Ask tech support at ISP how to do this. THe manufacturer website does not
list info in Tech support for consumer/end users.
