Help withXP setup to use Solwise SA110 router please

I have set the network card address to 192.168.7.2 as per the instructions.
If I type this address into my browser it tries to dial out on my ordinary
modem. I am sure I am doing something obviously wrong. Please could someone
tell me how to get it to look at the network card? TIA

in IE, Tools > Internet Options > Connections and check
"never dial a connection"

P.

I have tried that but the result is the same! Any other suggestions please?

Have you set the default gateway to be the address of the router ?
and have you confirmed that the NIC in your PC is correct
best way to check this is
Start, Run, Type "cmd", then type "ipconfig /all" ( ignore speech marks)

You should then get something like this

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : cyber-i5jy8txig
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : xxxxxxx.co.uk
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com EtherLink III ISAPNP
Ethernet A
dapter (Generic 3C509b)
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-A0-24-6C-00-C7
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.66
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 194.74.65.68
194.73.73.95

Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 19 January 2004 16:57:11


From what you say you havnt got a gateway set.

I will also be happy to talk you through it.

Thanks for that Ian. My settings are


Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : SUPERSOW

Ethernet etc.
Ethernet A
dapter (Generic 3C509b)
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-82-44-34-77-75
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.7.2

DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . :

I presume I need to enable IP routing and Wins proxy but ca't find them in
the network setup. Do I need new glasses ? At this stage I just want to
access the router so I have not set the DNS server addresses up. Your
continued help much appreciated.

The default gateway is the problem. Those should be 192.168.7.1.

And I am curious why you are putting 192.168.7.2 in the browser? Surely
it should be .1 to get at the Router address?

Try a simple ping 192.168.7.1 command and see what happens.

You shouldn't need any of the advanced settings under normal
circumstances (WINS etc). The default in XP works.

The process is set out in the in the quick set-up guide at which
normally comes on the CD packed in the box. If you don't have one you
can download it at
http://www.solwiseforum.co.uk/downlo...versolwise.pdf
(but it's 3 megabytes).

The process is to set a manual address (as you have, but see 3.2.2 in
the above) at first. Use the web pages served from the browser
(starting at 3.3.1) to set up the router and also turn on the DHCP
server in the router (radio button half way down the quick configuration
page as shown on page 30). When you have rebooted the router then go
back to the ethernet connection and enable DHCP (obtain IP address
automatically) on the connection.

You dont need either set up

All you need is a IP address in the 192.168.7.xxx range and the gateway set
as 192.168.7.1

then set up the 110 as a DHCP server and away you go. You will need a DNS
server set though.

Thanks to you all. However, I seem to be going round in circles! The
default gateway is set to 192.168.7.1. The network card address is set to
192.168.7.2. If I ping 192.168.7.2 then I get a response. I assume this
means the card is working. If I ping 192.168.7.1 the packets just time out.
As far as I can see I have set everything up according to the manual.
Obviously I have not because it should work! To my simple mind this suggests
I have mised something obvious. I apologise if I am being dim witted but I
just cannot see what else could be wrong. I would much appreciate any
further help you can give. Thank you
