Tiscali ADSL Modem Convert to Netgear DG384G Wireless/Router?
Hi all,
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to get a connection using a Netgear DG384G wireless router on a Tiscali ADSL line which is using a USB modem? I tried to install the DG384G router but could not get it to connect with the Tiscali servers. The Tiscali tech guys told me that they are only concerned with modems as they dont do Wireless/Routers. So any thoughts or fixes for this query will begratefully accepted? Regards Gerryw |

Most routers work like that. If so, then what you need is a modem which convets the aDsl signal to ethernet and provides a jack for the ethernet cable. I don't know of a router which accepts a USB modem (or even has a USB port); I most assuredly did not say that there aren't any. I suppose you could setup your computer to provide internet sharing and also to get the computer to connect to the router via an ethernet cable. But that certainly would be doing things the hard way.

Tiscali ADSL Modem Convert to Netgear DG384G Wireless/Router?
Hi, (UK)
Perhaps I did not make the setup very clear so I will try to clarify what I am trying to do. The 'Tiscali' setup is via a ADSL line (and DSL Filter) through a modem which is connected to my computer using a USB cable. I have now got a laptop and another desktop computer in another room which is why I want to setup a wireless network. I purchased this ADSL 'Netgear' DG384G Broadband Wireless Router Modem and tried to connect it to the 'Tiscali' ADSL line after taking the USB modem offline. I connected the DG384G using a standard Telephone cable (through a ADSL filter) and also an ethernet cable from my computer to the DG384G and run the configuration setup on the DG383G by inputting the IP Address (192.168.0.1) using I.E. All the relevant lights on the DG384G are lit (Power, Internet, Transmission and LAN port) but the Internet light is blinking an orange light instead of green like the others which I mean it is trying to get a connection to the Internet. I setup all the usual configuration items such as, IP addresses, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS etc for the ADSL Port, the LAN, the Modem and the Wireless Port and the only thing that did not show up as connected was the ADSL Port IP address, the Subnet Mask IP address, the Gateway IP address and the Domain Server IP address. Even though I set them statically in the ADSL configuration setup they were not present when I opened the 'Router Status' window. Could this be the problem and if you think that it could be, is there anyway to fix it, or do you think that something else is causing the connection error? Regards Gerryw "David H.

I don't see anywhere in this message where you defined the type of connection between your Netgear and the ISP nor did you mention such items as username and password (those for your ISP account). How you do this depends on which country you live in. The fine manual for the Netgear should have instructions. I know that the fine manual for my Linksys router does. Jim |

Tiscali ADSL Modem Convert to Netgear DG384G Wireless/Router?
Hi (UK)
I connected the ISP telephone line (through the DSL Filter) into the line connection on the NetgearWireless Broadband Modem Router and also setup a connection between my computer and the latter usin an Ethernet cable (all as per the Netgear manufacturers) instructions. I also installed the Username and Password for the ISP LOGIN account. But as I said, the ISPs IP adderesses do not appear to have been made available to the Netgear device, although I did get the info needed from the ISP and input them statically to try to overcome this problem with no joy. I am at aloss as to what has gone wrong and would appreciate any help in this direction. Regards Gerryw "Jim" wrote: "Gerryw" wrote in message ...
