DG834 and DHCP

Hello. I've only got one computer connected to my router, do I need to set up DHCP anyway? Currently I am having problems connecting to my router.

    Thanks for the reply. But what I wanted to know is if I needed to set up DHCP on my computer, despite of it not being networked. Also, I'm afraid it didn't come with a CD; I bought it refurbished on ebay.

Both your pc and your router should be set to obtain IP addresses automatically in the DHCP settingss, if you are using the wizard on the cd this should do it for you. Try not to use windows repair connection as it sets it to the wrong ip address, as your system has to match the routers, eg router address 192.168.2.1 and your pc addresss 192.168.2.2.

    Yes you do need to set the DHCP so it will automatically give your pc an ip address, but make sure your pc is set to obtain an ip address automatically.

    If it's the first time you have used the network you will need to use te XP network wizard to enable file sharing.

    You should'nt need the driver, just type 192.168.0.1 in your internet browser address bar and you should get into the routers menu.

How to connect my Linksys router with my wi tribe modem?? my laptop pick up the wireless signal and can connect,,it says "connected" but when you open a page it says either "invalid server...

The Linksys Wireless router is fine, but your latop is not configured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The computer is connected to the router at layer 2, whereas HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), sits
atop the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) layer, and seems to be trying to
query the ISP's (Internet Service Provider) network for a nameserver (via DNS (Dynamic Name Service) protocol) that doesn't exist on the ISP's network. Configuring the laptop for DHCP and specifying no nameserver will fix this (the ISP's network will dynamically assign a DNS).

Its also possible (though a remote possibility) that your Linksys wifi router may be configured to disallow TCP/IP virtual circuits to/from your computer's IP address - but this is a really advanced
capability of your Linksys wifi router - few know this capability even exists.

Connecting multiple wifi devices to the Linksys router should be no problem, just configure them all to interact with the router using DHCP.

Wrt54g2 dhcp problem

You must enable the DHCP setting on wireless router if you've configured the computer's wireless adapter to obtain an IP address automatically. If not you will get the "failed to acquire an IP address" error when you try to connect to wireless network! Also don't forget to configure big enough IP range on router's DHCP setting, because the router won't be able to assign IP to 6 computers if you only configured 5 IP space on router.

Hello how do that intternt error code :052010

Error Code: 052010 The DHCP settings of the access point and DS don't appear to be compatible.
What to do:
Please check the DHCP settings of your router and try again. If you have multiple connection files saved to your Nintendo DS, the error message you received can help determine which connection file may be experiencing a problem:
  • Errors ending in 0 = connection file 1
  • Errors ending in 1 = connection file 2
  • Errors ending in 2 = connection file 3
  • Errors ending in 3 = Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
If you need assistance, click here and select your router manufacturer and model number. If available, our router pages can provide specific information on where to locate your router's DHCP settings.
What is DHCP?
DHCP is a setting, typically "enabled" by default, that lets your router automatically assign IP addresses to the devices connected to it. This option is a setting for advanced users, and normally should be set "enabled." If you prefer to have your router's DHCP set to "disable," you will need to enter a valid IP address on the Nintendo DS, through the "manual settings" option. For information on how to do this, click here.

Router is a Netgear WPN824v3. The problem I am

Chances are that the router is set to manually assign an address if it doesn't receive an IP from the DHCP server.

I would first try removing all the wireless profiles and creating them again.
Also a windows update may have broken any firewalls you currently have installed so disabling them is also a good idea, then turn back on when you get it to work.

Help me with setting up a modem and a router

Are you able to get online directlty from modem? If yes check what is IP address you get from modem, if it is like 192.168.1.xxx, then you need to set connection type as DHCP(not PPPoE), and change router's local IP address to 192.168.2.1 , and reboot router and modem.You can try this steps:
1. Access the router setting via a browser.
2. On Setup, Basic Setup:
- Internet Connection Type unchanged as "Automatic Configuration - DHCP"
- Local IP Address changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1
- Settings saved
3. Clicked on Status to check if IP Address value has numbers (not 0.0.0.0). If you have zeroes, click DHCP Release then DHCP Renew.
4. Wired connection to internet OK. Wireless connection from a family PC also OK.
Good to go i thinks.Let us know.

Can only connect 1 computer to 'net on router

rourke, you shouldn't be entering the same settings on both router and desktop. I should only be on the router. It seems like something with DHCP is misconfigured on your router. Make sure it (DHCP) is enabled.

Configuration for wi-fi

Yes its possible! first thing you need to do is call your ISP and ask what kind of connection type you have for your service then if your connection type is static connection yo need to ask for IP information regarding your service this is the connection type you need to set in your router, now if your service is Dynamic connection or DHCP you just need to hook up your router and set it to dhcp . i believe most router is set to dhcp as deafault settings so all you have to do is hook up you internet connection to your router. if your still having problem with your router you can call your router vendor support number, just give then your connection type and they will guide you regarding the router settings and how many computers you want get connected.
