Two way routing.

You did not say where are your two computers. Anyway, computers should work on most subnets routes except between 10.20.30.0 and 10.20.40.0 subnet.
Static routing should be set on two computers not on routers.
Assume computer A is connected to 10.20.30.252 Router A and Computer B is connected to router B.
On Computer A, you need to add route to -inet 10.20.40.0/24 via GW 203.187.106.147, and on computer B to set rotue to -inet 10.20.30/24via GW 203.187.106.138. That is all you need.

Make sure you set up correctly the subnet mask.

Your question is hard to follow. "got an X as it failed" what is it ?
What are the lease ip addresses from the DHCP server and what is the subnet mask ?
What is the default gateway in the DHCP lease ?
What is the router's internal IP address and subnet mask ?
What is the ip address and subnet mask of the computers used ?
What is the operating system used on computers
can you ping the router from computers ?
can you tracert www.google.com

from the dos prompt for ping (routers ip address)
what route does tracert reveal
does it get to the router
does it find the dns server ?

try changing the subnet on N1 to 255.255.254.0 or 255.255.248.0

You must configure first its settings both on your network card and router. See you manual.

First you must connect your internet directly to the computer then get its DNS settings, jot it down. Then connect the router lanport1 to lan card port of your computer using LAN cable. Under lan properties goto TCP/IP settings input the default IPaddress 192.168.0.1 of the router then its subnet mask commonly 255.255.255.0, the router's default gateway, input the DNS settings of your ISP 2 of the set.

Then goto default router's utility web. Open internet explorer, key in router's ip add 192.168.0.1 you should go to router's configuration log in user = admin, pass = just hit enter. Set your time and date then save. You could also test its connection by pinging the IP address of router. on windows DOS. Type ping 192.168.0.1 you should get 4 lines.


If everything is set. Connect the internet cable(UTP/LAN cable) to its WAN port of the router then test to browse the internet. If not then change the DNS settings with the remaining set (on Lan setting).

If I miss something just leave a comment.

Did you set your computers IP to, lets say, 192.168.1.5, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 ?
Only like that can you access the router. And ofcourse, use the Routers password (which is supplied in the manual)

Da li si podesio IP adresu na racunari, na recimo, 192.168.1.5, i subnet mask na 255.255.255.0 ?
Samo tako mozes da pristupis ruteru. I naravno koristeci ruterov password (sto ti je napisano u uputama) .

Plug the second router into the lan not the wan and it will act as a switch instead of a router

Hi,

Try the DSL modem directly connected to the PC.No D-Link Router(powered off and disconnected). Verify that the PCcould surf/browse/connect to the Internet. Go to Start, Control Panel,Network Connections, right click Local Area Connection, Properties,scroll down to/highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Properties button.Get the IP Add, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS assigned to the PC(write this down. This will be your WAN/Internet IP settings). Then Disable DHCP of your modem if it has one. OK, close, save or whatever is applicable.

Disconnect the DSL modem from the PC. Connect D-Link Router to PC (wired/LAN) without the modem connected to the router.Go again to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections, right clickLocal Area Connection, Properties, scroll down to/highlight InternetProtocol(TCP/IP), Properties button. Tick "Use the following IPaddress". Enter this IP Add 192.168.0.10, Subnet Mask255.255.255.0,Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 and the DNS from what youhave written down earlier). This will be your LAN IP settings. OK,close, save or whatever is applicable.

Open a browser and log into the D-Link router (192.168.0.1, using "admin" as a username and no password). Do not run Wireless Network Setup Wizard. In WAN/Internet/Modem setting of router enable/check Static IP Add.Usethe IP numbers previously assigned to PC that you have written down asthe router's WAN/Internet/Modem IP settings. OK, close, save orwhatever is applicable. Reboot router. Connect DSL modem to router.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Yes, the xp machine connects to the net. DHCP is not enabled. The ipconfig/all command brings up the correct static ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway. But it does also say under the ip configuration that ip routing is not enabled. I did have the 2000 machine connected when I first set up the router yesterday, but I booted up my laptop to try to set up a wireless connection, and then I had to reinstall the entire router set-up.

Contact an ISP for an IP address.
configure the computers in the 2 networks to have the IP address you got from your ISP as the default gateway..

Cheers
