What thype of connection are you running (ADSL?) and what type of router is it, Linksys, Belkin etc?

If its ADSL its usually set to PPPoA on VC 0,38.

Re: router
 

As this is a wireless router, you don't mention any wireless cards, you are connecting using CAT5 cable?
I have a LINKSYS BEFSX41, which is not wireless and using CAT5 cable using ethernet card in PC, and am connected as folows,
From NTL250 modem to WAN
DMZ to PC
I have no problem, which OS are you running and what Firewall have you on your PC?

Re: router
 

You've not got the router to use WEP but the USB to use WPA or vice-versa, have you?

Re: router
 

totally new to me this but i think usb is picking up ok as i can log on internet on other peoples wireless. but i do find my di-524 as if i unplug it i is not on the list of found connections but it does not connect with my ie

It might be worth running through the points on the How Do I Configure My Router to Work With My Cable Modem FAQ on the D-Link site. :shrug:

Re: router
 

Just a thought it might be not be possible to use, both the ethernet and usb ports, because when i had a set top box you had to decide either to use ethernet or usb.

Re: router
 

Good point, Mike; that's normally so for a cable modem as well. Has to be one or the other.
