Got my DSL hooked up last night. Plugged in my new router and run into issues.
Linksys BEFSR41 V4 (4 port wired router). - factory settings.
Sprint DSL modem.
Windows XP
DHCP
IP 192.168.1.1
Wall jack to DSL modem. DSL modem to router (WAN/uplink). Router to computer.
I can access the router and have full functionality if it is connected only to my computer. Once connected to the DSL modem, the router vanishes.
Any attempt to access the router IP via a browser from my computer instead prompts for the DSL modem login.
Now the computer is still connected to the internet. I just cannot configure the router. Pinging the IP from the computer results in 100% packet loss. Port forwarding was set up on the router (before plugging it into the DSL modem) yet the router refuses to acknowledge the port forwarding and instead restricts my bandwidth to about 1-5% of what it should be.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
