Netgear DG834G as a wireless hub connected to existing ADSL modem
Post 2 of 2 ce soir.
I am on holiday (in Czech Republic in the remote chance that it's relevant) and have brought my trusty old Netgear DG834G wireless router with me to give to a friend with two students in their house fighting over the single ethernet cable to their ADSL modem that they also need to run their business.
Unfortunately they have mislaid both their password for connection to ISP and their password to access the admin features on their ADSL modem. Both problems can be solved within a few days but I have been trying to press ahead anyway by connecting the ethernet cable from their ADSL modem to any one of the four ports on the DG834G.
If any of the computers are likewise connected to the DG834G via ethernet, web browsing works fine, but if 802.11 b or g wireless is used, web browsing ceases to work (page not found and PING from CMD fails) even though connection to the router admin page works fine.
I have left both DHCP and NAT "on", and DNS lookup as "use ISP's servers".
Before I change anything, your advice, please.
Many thanks.
