routers

I successfully installed a Belkin router on my Win XP SP 2 system. I am
having problems that did not exist with the old router, Netgear. I tried
unplugging the Belkin and plugging in the Netgear. No Internet
connection. What do I have to do to run the Netgear temporarily? After
testing I want to continue with the Belkin.

You don't give us very much information. If you have a cable/DSL modem,
try:

1. On the XP machine run ipconfig /release - shut down the computer.

2. Unplug power to the modem and the router.

3. Wait several minutes.

4. Restore power to the modem - wait.

5. Restore power to the router - wait.

6. Start the XP machine.

Hi
You did not indicate what type of Internet you are using and what is the
authentication (password) format.

You might end up with confused authentication.

If I type in ipconfig/release, then the connection will be direct from the
modem, not the router?
