I purchased a Linksys Wireless- G broadband router yesterday set it up according to the instructions. All went well until it tried to connect to the internet. All necessary lights were on, on both the original and the new router.
The only stumbling block was one part of the setup where there was a list of
of which DHCP was one. That was highlighted and there was a note saying if it was changed, it could disrupt the functioning of the internet (or something similar), so I left it. Maybe it needed to be changed but the only other one I recognised was PPP??. After reading the notation on changing it, I decided better leave it until I got some advice. I really should have written it all down, but I was in a hurry at the time and just discontinued the installation as it was going nowhere.
As it was I couldn't connect to the internet afterwards and had to do a scanreg/restore.
My computer is running Windows 98SE and does come within the Minimum requirements needed, but I did notice on the router box it has Norton Internet security and the pdf files included on the cd are Win 2000 or XP only. I don't feel this has any relevance to the problem I'm having with connection, but am not certain.
I feel (hopefully) there is some minor adjustment I need to make somewhere and hope you can advise me scruffy or anyone who knows about these things. TIA.
