Whats wrong with ebay?

the only item I never recieved was one I sent to my old address in error:erm:

Bought and sold £1000's worth of goods there, if you know what you are looking for its quite safe. Safer than real life if you reqad my saxo thread...:(

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

Rightio I might just do that but send me the link for your page on ebay.

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

I don't have a ebay page for network cables. I just have computer kit all over :)

pm me if you want one, maybe I was a bit hasty with £2 it would be 46p postage plus envelope and the cable so maybe £1.50 would be cheaper. I'm not trying to 'sell' you a cable just trying to help you out :)

Just looked in the box for the router I got and theres one there new and sealed. Did you not get one with the ntl modem btw?

Ohh and I have been a member of this forum since day one in 2003, I would never rip off a member here.

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

Yeeh I thought I did but then I remembered my modem uses the usb to connect to my pc, as it doesnt even have an ethernet port!

Lol I dont have an ebay account, yet.

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

no problem, most people and even some of the techs throw away the other cables as not required. Ntl also advise usb as the standard connection as at the time that policy was thought up more people had usb than ethernet and routers where not popular.

Maybe its time they revisited that policy in light of the current surge in home networking.

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

Cheers again. So I've connected everything in the right order, rebooted everything etc but I STILL can't connect to the internet, or even get a stable wireless connection. It asks me for my passphrase, which I type in, but then the wireless connection only lasts for a few seconds before it's lost. And even when the wirelesss connection is there, it shows that there's no internet connection present. I'm confused

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

When your having troubles theres always the small reset button on the back/bottom of the router. Hold this in for 10 secs and it will restore to factory settings.

When having issues setting it up its best to turn none of the security settings on till you have a stable working connection.

I take it the cable arrived ok.

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

Hey yeah I did that but the connection is still unstable, but I think I know why. I keep getting a bubble telling me that I need to assign a gateway. I clicked and it showed that I had no default gateway, no DNS server and no WINS server. This alls means nothing to me, could you explain them in laymans terms? Thanks

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?

Re: HELP!!!!!! Can I connect Linksys WRT54GS to my NTL USB modem?
 

On both desktops I have Windows XP. I've got the NTL modem connected to the router through ethernet, then the router connected to my old computer also through ethernet. I connect to the internet wirelessly on my new computer through the wireless usb adaptor.
