Good question. I managed to get the computer to
recognize the router last night by turning on the DHCP
client under Administrative tools in the control panel.
That was a major accomplishment as I can now configure
the router. That said, I am still unable to connect to
my dsl provider via the router, perhaps because I set it
to use DHCP connection. I will reconfigure it to use
PPPoE to see if that makes it work. I will let you know
how this turns out. Thanks again.
