I have ADSL with a nextell 6100 Modem connected to a Belkin G series Wireless router connected to a Linksys 8 port switch that sends internet signal to all the rooms in my house. I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops. The desktops connect to the network through a patch cable and the laptops connect via wireless most of the time. My question is:

Why is it that every time I shut down or re-start the desktop computers I have to re-start the modem and router, otherwise these 2 computers won't be able to connect to the internet nor the my whole network? Is it the modem or the router? but the laptops when connected wireless are ok.

Thanks for your help

Hi

I have a DSL Home network through Bellsouth; In the beginning I connected the modem to a wireless router to a computer; This computer is running Win XP SP2; I have a couple more desktops in the house but I had to buy wireless adapters to connect them to the network. I decided to run cable to every room in the house so I could have Network throughout the entire house and I moved the modem and router from my office to the basement; I checked the patch cables to every room and they are working. I checked them with a laptop.

My problem is the computer I had connected to the router and modem originally, I can't get to acquire an IP address. I go to CMD IPCONFIG /ALL and I get this address:

IP Address 169.254.70.54

Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0

Default Gateway 169.254.70.254

I guess this address is the default for the computer. I went to network connections and changed the ip address setting from automatic to manual but I got the same problem.

Also I reset netsh int ip reset reset.log and

netsh winsock reset catalog

but I got the same problem. Can anyone help me

Thanks a Lot

My house was pre-wired with cat5 for phone. I have a patch box in the basement where the phone line comes from the street and from that box I have patch cables to the outlets throughout the house. how can I set up my bellsouth DSL westell modem to create a home network and have internet signal on all of the outlets and also be able to use the phone and do I need any other pieces of hardware?

Thanks

I was recommended to use Muriatic Acid to clean and get rid of some car oil stains on my driveway. I applied the acid but it just created a yellowish stain where it touched the concrete. Does anyone know how to get rid of that big Yellowish stain?

Please let me know

Thanks

The grass on my front yard is changing colors from Green to Brown; it looks like if it was burned or dried out. What did cause the grass to turn brown and what can I do to fix it so it won't happen again?

Thanks
