Sephiroth, took a look at the thread. Bummer. At least it's a small consolation that it's "them" and not "you". :)
I had no idea dsl providers use MAC, since Bell Canada uses just the user/password system using a connection manager program. They permitted (at least last year) 2 different pc's to be connecected (using conection sharing). Re NICS, My Nr. 2 PC is an MSI Ultra KT-4 (6590)and (fortunately???) didn't come with an on board NIC. But, I've had trouble in the past with a NIC that failed. I got a new one that worked. Later I assembled another pc and moved the failed NIC to it and it is still there working on my Nr. 1 pc (Asus A7V8X mobo) Go figure. This stuff is enough to drive a guy to drink sometimes. have a beer on me! :) |

i tried :( lol, some people solved their problem by manually entering the mac address for the onboard nic in the bios that's on a sticker on the motherboard, so i pulled the board out of my case, wrote it down, tried it, flashed the bios, and used nvidia's reference drivers instead of the ones MSI have, and none of it worked, piece of ****, lol, so i put my SMC nic in and it worked perfectly fine, bastards <!--QuoteBegin--rikytik@Jun 15 2003, 04:40 AM Sephiroth, took a look at the thread.

Isn't a router used to route IP packets between different IP subnets???? That should mean your router has at least TWO ip address (or else ir won't be a router :)) and the two IP addresses can NOT be in the same IP subnet range. The LAN side of your router is 192.168.1.x with mean the WAN side connecting to your router can not (I repeat can NOT) be 182.168.1.x, and neighter can the IP of your ADSL modem. Does this makes any sense? Haller me on MSN if you don't get it to work. Maybe, just maybe... :) |
If I got it right, what he's done is used the LAN switch in the router to connect the modem to the pc's, thus bypassing the router itself.
|
Ah, My fault. That explains it...

This don't make any sense..... as 192.168.1.x and 182.168.1.x are 2 different networks, and a router is "routing" traffic between networks :P /Peace Cactus, I guess it was a typho B) |
