I got a router...

moneyman

Sorry for another thread but I could do with some help on this matter. My friend gave me a router, but I don't know how to set it up. He said If I connected the router to the phone line using the cable I got with the Xbox it should work, but there's nowhere to put the other end (not the router end) of the cable in the phone/wall etc.

I know there's a way of using the router to connect but I don't know how, people on here told me I could get a router and set it up. Could anyone give me a steb by syep? I've tried google and wikipedia but can't find anything on this particular issue. I really want to get live goin'.

Thanks.

Have you a model number of the router?
What do you use to access the net? ie dial up/broadband over phone line/broadband over cable/other/atari jaguar.:D

It's a Netopia router and it says it's Class B whatever that means. I have broadband (with lastmile) and it's wireless although we've discovered that the box has no antennae so it can't work with Xbox live. So now I'm wondering how to setup this router so I can work it. Thanks for the reply.

Is it a Netopia Cayman 3347w?

use a network cable to connect the modem to the router, then connect a laptop to the router and see if you can get an ip address first
