Re: Homechoice?

Hi,

I have a very similar problem.

I have just had Homechoice installed and have had some problems setting up a home network.

I have bought a Linksys Wireless - G Broadband Router (model - WRT54G)

I have plugged in the internet cable from the homechoice box into the my router and then plugged in a normal internet cable from the router into my machine. This works fine and I have a internet connection however, when connecting another network cable into another machine - it does not work.

Whats strange is when I run ipconfig on the working machine - the default gateway address starts off with 81.xx.xxx.xx which is the IP address of my Homechioce box which is fine.

When running the same command on the 2nd machine, I get the default IP address as 192.168.1.1 which is a local IP address. This is wrong and should be the IP address of the router.

Any ideas why??

Do I need to configure the router in anyway, if so what are the settings?

Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks
