Hi,
This problem seems to be the same as the one here:
http://http://www.cableforum.co.uk/b...2-problem.html
but seeing as there was no apparent fix I'll ask again. I've got Virgin Cable Broadband. Works fine on both WinXP and Gentoo Linux machines when ethernet cable is plugged directly between cable modem and computer. But I want both machines to access internet at once so got a Netgear MR814v2 router. Followed instructions, and everything worked - for about half an hour :-(
Tried all the standard trouble shooting things (e.g. repowering in the correct order) several times to no avail. Both computers are DHCP enabled and set to locate IP address automatically. Neither machine can now connect to the internet via the router, but both work fine when connected directly.
So my questions are:
1) Does anyone know how to fix this?
2) If not, can anyone recommend a router that will do the job without costing a lot?
Thanks in advance
