NTL Broadband Shared VIA Wired Router

oli87 · 22-08-2004, 11:37

I have just brought a US Robotics Broadband router and wish to share the internet with two other pcs. I have set my ntl broadband up via ethernet so that it can be plugged into the back of the router. But when i plug the rest of the computers in then the internet doesnt work on any of the computers but without the router then the internet works fine on my computer.

Any help would be good thanks

Can you access the network or is it just the internet that isn't working?

Have you tried accessing the router's / cable modem configuration?

Have you tried pinging?

Are you running a firewall (and is there one on your router)?

Make sure that all connections are set to "obtain ip automaticly"

which u can find by clicking properties on the connection then chooseing "internet protocal (tcp/ip) then clikc on "obtain an ip address automaticly" then give the comp a restart and should work.
