Chorus NTL modem/ router mess!

    hi folks

    hoping you can help me out, sorry if this thread has been done already, maybe you could just point me in the right direction if it has.


    I have chorus/ntl bb. I got their modem but not the wireless router cause I thought I'd manage it myself with a belkin adsl wireless router I have. the belkin will get me online if I connect it to the modem but I can netwrk two machines as they end up with ip's in different subnets for some reason.

    I've now bought a linksys WRT54G as I'd read this was made for the job. Now when I connect this to the modem, the interent light on the router goes green. the router goves me an IP but I've no internet.?

    When I'm online with the modem(or belkin)
    my IP is for exaple 89.101.178.156
    default gateway 89.101.178.1
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0

    What settings do I need to set in the Linksys to get me going? Do I leave the connection type as DHCP? It's not PPoE I use is it seeing as its cable?




    Extra info
    When I get online with the belikin, the belkin just passes the 89.*.*.* IP onto my laptop so it just seems to pass on whatever the modem is giving it. I never suceeded in assigning that ip to the router and setting up my 192. network beyond that.


    This is a pain in the a$$! hope you can help

    Leave the Linksys as DHCP - should just pick up the public (89.xxx.xxx.xxx) IP address from the NTL modem, and then assign any PCs you connect to the Linksys a 192.168.xxx.xxx address. As you say, PPPoE is not for cable services, it's used for ADSL broadband connections over phone lines.

    What IP address is the Linksys giving you when you have no internet?
    And can you log into the Linksys, and see what IP address it is getting on the WAN port (from the NTL modem)?
