Hello there

just to say some things that may help some folks in the future:

I posted a short while ago about my WRT54gs linksys router. I could not get it to see my internet gateway after I connected it all up. Thanks for all the posts I got to help solve the problem although none of them hit the nail on the head, there was one that led the way...

As my pc is upstairs and my cable point downstairs, I had 8m of ethernet cable between my modem and router (the router being upstairs), but only 1m between my router and pc - the result? No internet.

By placing my 1m cable between my modem and router (the router being downstairs), then the 8m cable from my router to the pc (upstairs) was I able to establish a connection.

Thanks for the post that suggested I swap my cables. I didn't at first because I knew that they worked in isolation. It appears that the router does not like long cables for wan, but is happy for them as lan.

Anyway, just wooping with joy.
