India Broadband

ani

I have the following setup components:
- Huawei SmartAX MT882 modem from BSNL dataone broadband
- Netgear wireless router WGR614v7
- Windows XP desktop (P4, 3.2GHz)
- Windows XP laptop (Intel centrino M 1.8 GHz)

My connection/configuration works fine from the modem directly to the desktop/laptop. I am able to access internet. Now, I need to connect the modem to the wireless router so that I can surf the net from both laptop and desktop. I am not able to do it.
I have tried the following, but these do not work:
- tried the Netgear wizard setup
- tried the steps exactly as in:
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...ork-guide.html (Making the BSNL DataOne Wireless home network guide)
- tried myself to configure the modem and router with no luck

Can you kindly help in this regard?

□ Connect u r modem's RJ45 cable directly into the uplink port of the w.router.

□ Connect ur pc's network port to one of the lan port of the w.router.

□ If laptop is wireless then ur w.router will automatically detect after configuration.

□ If u need it wired then connect a similar cable to a free lan port of the w.router from the laptop's ethernet port.

Now open routers IP Address through internet explorer ... type http://192.168.1.1

Use admin for username and password for password and continue configuration. Go for a PPPoE Connection

Try all this after resetting ur router. Power on and press reset for 20 - 30 seconds. Turn off and turn on.

I have similar setup.
- Huawei SmartAX MT800 modem + BSNL dataone broadband
- Netgear wireless router WGR614v7
- Desktop: Windows XP/Linux, with 2 network cards. [connected to Router by wire]
- Laptop:Windows XP laptop [Connected wireless]

Internet is working fine, from both the systems. But I couldn't access each other's shared folders. Simply, LAN is not working.

Before buying the Wireless router, I used a crossover cable to connect the computers for sharing internet & exchanging files.

Now with my netgear wireless router, apart from sharing internet connection, Is it possible to wirelessly network my desktop and laptop to exchange files etc?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

I haven't tried connecting the laptop to router using cable. I'll try that.

BTW, laptop is detecting wireless connection and Internet is working perfectly fine. It's just that I couldn't make the computers talk to each other.

Thankx.

Remember all systems should be in the same workgroup... alsp do the network setup wizard .... Try pinging both ways ...
If Ip address is set to automatic option then goto command prompt and type ipconfig /all to know the ip address of that particular system and then ping .....

Thanks coolday.

The issue is resolved now. I came to know I had disabled some network related services in my desktop. Once I enabled them everything is working fine.

Thanks for the help.
