Is the D-Link router also a hub? Do you need a crossover cable instead of a
normal LAN cable?

Subject: [CTS] Can't get this networking thing to work right.....
Hello! I dumped the Siemens SpeedStream router and bought a brand new
D-Link Air Plus G wireless router instead. It is the same brand as the
wireless card I installed in my second PC upstairs. I hooked it up to my
PC, which is running Windows XP, followed the instructions to the letter,
and with it hooked up, I CAN'T CONNECT to the internet from my main PC which
is hardwired to the router!
There are five lights on my Toshiba cable modem: power, cable, PC, data, and
test. With the D-Link router hooked up to my PC, the PC light blinks on the
cable modem which means it can't communicate with my PC. Without the D-Link
router hooked between the PC and the cable modem, I can get on the internet
just fine.
I could go through the Siemens router just fine but it didn't seem to
communicate with the wireless card installed in my PC upstairs. I don't
understand what I'm doing wrong.
Help!
Thanks!
