Gouki Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Steps to make a network? Just do it. Is there a step-by-step guide?I would say:ADSL Modem, is it USB or does it uses Ethernet?if it uses USB, start Internet Connection Sharing with a NIC on a computer. Connect the Wireless Router to that same NIC. DONE. Enjoy wired and wireless Internet.As for the printer sharing ... Well, if you want, you can buy a wireless printer server, or, if $ is short (here it is), buy a wired printserver and connect it to the router. Everything that is connected to the Router, wireless or not, will be able to print.P.S: People, feel free to add anything I may forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouki Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sorry buddy, but Im not gonna make a step by step guide. In wich part do you have issues?If its Ethernet, just connect a Ethernet Cable from the RJ45 jack to the Internet port of the Router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeem5454 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 the RJ45 wire is connected and the router is up and running, but when i run the network wizard and follow its steps, it still doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jago_lfn Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'd suggest reading http://www.windowsnetworking.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 You dont need to run Network Wizard. I really suggest you ask someone to set it up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin_Norm Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The DSL router should act as a bridge (go to their website to find directions or call them), then use their red cable to connect to the linksys router. Configure the linksys router with the correct dsl modem settings...you may have to contact linksys for this.When a friend had issues...I started with Sprint/Earthlink help desk, then they handed me off to an earthlink helpdesk. In the end..two hours on hold between both call centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
