I just installed a Netgear GA311 on my roommate's computer. Everything works fine if I hook it directly up to the cable modem (Scientific Atlantic DPC2100 series), but when I add my router (Linksys WRT54G v5) in between the cable modem and the desktop I can't get the desktop to get a "Connection-specific DNS Suffix" or a "Default Gateway" using the ipconfig command in the cmd window.
I have no problems using my laptop wireless through the router or with the same port and cord through the router.
Please help as I would like to get other components hooked up through the wireless router as well.
Steps I've taken thus far:
1. Reinstalling the GA311 drivers
2. Resetting the desktop
3. Crying
4. Posting in this forum
Thanks,
Timmy
