Got one of those linksys 80211g routers, and hooked it up. The network itself owrks jstu fine, but no one can see the internet (it was working fine before). Can someone help me please!!! Its a static ip so i entered in all the nfo that sbc gave me ( i know its correct becuase when i plug the modem into just a computer it works). Yet once its in the router nothing works please help!

you *shouldn't* need to setup the mac addy, atleast on any linksys i have used.

go to cmd prompt on one of your machines and do this

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

then list what it says after the ipconfig /renew

the ip, subnet mask, and gateway

255.255.255.248? thats an odd subnet mask for a default. try changeing it to 255.255.255.0 on your linksys. then change all ip's to 192.168.1.X on hosts maybe thats what your problem is.

You want the subnet on your router to match the subnet on all your PC's

Set the router to automatically get the IP from the ISP and make sure the modem is plugged into the WAN port of the router.
