gravitational 0 #51 August 24, 2005 QuoteQuote For those of us not blessed with puter skills, routers are annoying and difficult. I offer you many many hugs in your unfun endeavor of hooking it up. Thank-you, I feel so less stupid now that I know at least 1 other person had trouble with it too! I was in your neighborhood earlier this year and could have stopped by to hook it up then, but alas, not there anymore...------ Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 1 #52 August 24, 2005 Sorry Andrea ignore this post. QuotePsst, Tim, the WAN connects to the cable modem, not the uplink.... Ok.. lets try again It's actually marked "Internet" instead of "Uplink" to make it easy. As far as the router is concerned, the uplink Is the WAN side The WAN on the cable modem is the round cable. that connects to the evil hackers out on the world wide web. The cat 5 cable (telephone cord looking one) goes to the Internet port... Also known as the Uplink to the router. It's conveniently sitting all alone away from the other ports. You know that already though. I'll draw a picture for Andrea now and post it.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

RevJim 0 #53 August 24, 2005 Duh, it's linksys... Anyway, you're right, it's labeled "Internet", not WAN. OK, Andrea, ignore the rest of this post.... Timmaaawahhh!, I'm sorry, you are right about the WAN/Internet labeling, but not the uplink labeling. Uplink is used in switches for daisey chaining, and is not the same as a WAN port.

globalskyjunkie 0 #57 August 24, 2005 Fantastic diagram!!! and it answers my 1 vs. 2 computer theory. I was beginning to wonder why she was going thru the home networking "baptism-by-fire" if she only had 1 computer to connect to the internet.

skymama 37 #58 August 24, 2005 I DO only have one computer. I thought the router would help against the evil hackers.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #60 August 24, 2005 QuoteWhat do I do with it? ... If you can help me, please write with small sentences and non-techy speak or your going to lose me. Make the digits of your house number and hang them next to your front door. Put a fancy edge on a table. Make a sign for each bedroom door that says whose room it is. Make a better looking version of the attached plaque. Those ought to keep you busy for a little while. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
