Did I hear my name being called? Actually, I offered detailed router instructions on the LINKSYS, since that's the one I use. BUT, the BELKIN brand should be somewhat similar. You said you have DSL. Do you need to sign in with a name/password everytime you want to log in with DSL? Hint to that would be if you use a program like WinPoET, or something similar, that makes your DSL connection look like a dialup connection. If you do NOT use a name/pass to access DSL everytime you restart your computer, then on the router setup you shouldn't be putting anything in there at all for that info. Also... what model router is it you have there? ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Cross To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 10:54 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Belkin 4 port DSL router I purchased the subject router to connect my new computer to my old computer to transfer some of the files and programs to my new computer one at a time and to gain the firewall capabilities of a router. I have followed all of the installation instructions over and over but cannot get past the screen where you enter your ISP user name and password. The software just stalls at that screen and won't go any further. I have talked to Belkin tech support and my DSL (Verizon) tech support and one tells me to call the other. (-: Anybody got any ideas? BTW I have Win XP on my new computer and Win 98 on my old one. TIA Red PS - Someone named Troth offered detailed router instructions to Spider_hotpop on July23 which is where I originally heard about this group. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
