ok.., can anybody tell me if I'm completely overlooking something obvious here?
I have a dsl modem, a router, and two PCs. They're setup as follows:
DSL Modem:
IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
Router:
IP = 192.168.1.2
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
PC 1:
IP = 192.168.1.3
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
PC 2:
IP = 192.168.1.4
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
I'm trying to troubleshoot my dsl connection to see why it's going so slow, but, here's where I ran into my problem. If my router is in the middle between my modem and my machines, then I can see the modem and connect fine. But, if I take the router out of the equation, and just run a straight CAT5 cable between the nic in my machine and the ethernet port on the dsl modem, I can't connect, ping it, do anything, and I can't figure out why. I've tried reseting the modem to factory defaults, and tried giving it an IP and Subnet of 10.0.0.138 / 255.0.0.0 , and my pc an ip / subnet of 10.0.0.1 / 255.0.0.0, but neither helped. On one hand, I was thinking my router was the reason my connection was going so damned slow, but now I'm starting to wonder if my modem is being cranky and doesn't want to work right now. Any ideas? if I'm overlooking something obvious I'm going to smack myself, lol
