I'm afraid you misunderstood what he meant. Since your Dlink device is a router, not a switch, the network segments on both side of it should have different addresses.
In other words: * the segment between modem and the router has an address of, for example, 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 Actually, I think 192.168.0.x is assigned by the modem because in this segment, the modem acts as a DHCP server while the WAN port of the router acts as a DHCP client. * the segment between the router and the PC's has an address of, for example, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 In this segment, the router is DHCP server while your PC's the client. Then configure your modem as well as your router and you should make it work. > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Tom Knowlton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyi : vendredi 26 mars 2004 04:54 > @ : coulter; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : RE: router config to work with VNC > > UPDATE: > > I moved my DLink router IP over to 192.168.0.2 > > Now when I type 192.168.0.2 it takes me to the DLink Router config (as expected) > > When I type in my static IP address (205.208.XXX.XXX) it takes me to my ActionTec > broadband modem config....is that right? > > Now, there is still another IP address, isn't there?
