I am really Networking 101 so here are the facts-Need airport to work, system is ASDL
DSL> Paradyne modem, one out put port > twisted pair crossover cable to> NetGear 614v2 router.
The NetGear 614 router has one Input Port for the DSL modem to connect and 4 output ports .
I have successfully hooked up a Pismo by CAT 5e cable from output port 1 on the Net Gear 614
I have a CAT 5e cable from the Net Gear router output port 2 to my Graphite Airport Base Station
The computer, a Pismo with an airport card sees the airport signal the airport base station is sending , but, will not make a connection, keep seeing different messages, unable to connect to that network, the TCP/IP is being used, even though I have selected the airport configuration and went in and checked the TCP/IP is selected to Airport and DCHP. Apple Talk is on.
Open to easy fixes, would seem to run the wire from the modem to the base station but then the network would stop. So are there splitters that go on the back of the DSL modem that would power the Net Gear 614 and the Netgear Router Thanks for the patientce Unwired in Big Lake Geoff
Are you having the NetGear distribute the DHCP? Based on your description, I think that you should. In that case, the ABS should be set to function as an access point rather than router (turn off DHCP). I have a similar setup with a Linksys wired router and DLink wireless, with the DLink turned off for serving out addresses.

Yes I think I am getting the ABS down, your right DHCP off
So next, I have a twisted wire transciever coming out of my trusty 6100 G3, will a CAT 5e cable from the transciever to one of the four out ports on the Net Gear Router work or does it have to be a twisted wire cable to one of the ports on the router.
Also if I hook up a twisted wire from the 61 to the Net Gear router and it's is wrong can I damage the router, transciever the telco modem and kill the moose outside my window all with one plug or will it just say nothing and not work ?
Thanks
Geoff
