If your router is working for windows already and has run OK on RH8 the it MUST be your MD9 TCP/IP settings that are incorrect. I assume you can ping the router or access the WEB STYLE config page ... Suggest you have a close & hard look at the TCP/IP settings , in particular the Gateway IP and the DNS settings.
If you know the IP of an ISP or favourite web site, try to ping it by name and by IP. If you get a response by IP only then the DNS settings are wrong, if you get no response to either then the gateway is wrong and leads me to ask can you ping your router (by IP) ?? If you are using static IP's, check you have not mis-typed the IP's so the router and computer are in different subnets.....You dont say whether your windows is static IP or using the router and getting an IP from it's inbuilt DHCP.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of greg Sent: Friday, 29 November 2002 11:03 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: [newbie] alcatel speed touch pro &Mand9 > Hi Charlie, > > where he says in his advice about changing my vpi/-vci values what does he > mean.
