The computer should always go into the LAN port. The only thing that
should go into the Internet/WAN port is the cable/DSL modem.

once in the internet port than once in the LAN port. Now I won't need
to reboot twice:)

generally anytime you change the interface that catches the modem
it needs a reboot a well to identify the new device.
also you need the outside world connected to the internet port,
inside world to your lan side.

to be connected to the internet port. is that correct? should
I be connected ro one of the lan ports?

One thing strikes me -- why do you have a router
between your living room with the XBMC box and your
bedrooms? Does your modem do firewalling? (I hope so
for the sake of the living room dwellers ;-))
IF your modem (actiontek) doesn't do firewalling, then
you need to fix that asap, IMHO.
If your modem DOES, then you COULD just use any old
network switch (hub, whatever) between the living room
and the bedrooms. Unless there's some security
problem you haven't mentioned ;-)
Another thing strikes me -- this whole thing started
because of some problem with something...
Ah, there it is: 'the internet after the Linksys would
not connect'. That statement and the no DHCP could be
related (probably are, now that I think of it).
So, are all the appropriate Link status lights on the
Linksys lit? How about on the devices connected on
the other end of the wire to the Linksys? (Are all
the wires plugged in completely?)

That's bad. Try disconnecting the Ethernet between
the Linksys and the PC, wait about 30 seconds, and
plug it back in and see if you get DHCP. (I had this
problem a while back with my Linux DHCP server, and
that was the solution)
Also, look in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
(depending upon your variant -- there may be another
place also but these are where I know of) and see if
your PC was asking for DHCP...

Yes.... i wrote the instructions on configuring the
linksys to work with the modem down so all I am
concerned with is connecting to the linksys. Sorry I
didn't mention that.
The router doesn't seem to be handing out ip
addresses. I didn't change anything in the pc so DHCP
should be enabled.

Assuming that you are DHCP(ing) (and you better be),
you can also:
$ ip route show|grep 'default via'
Whatever address you see, is your router.
YMMV...

Looking only at the 'connecting to the linksys' issue.
If the Linksys is giving out IP addresses to the pc
like it should (and assuming the PC is set for DHCP),
you should be able to figure out the 'correct' IP
address of the Linksys.
So, do 'ifconfig' on the PC to see what address it got
(192.168.0.123 or 192.168.1.2 or whatever), and change
the last octet to 1 and you should have your linksys
IP address. Hopefully ;-)

well it isn't really two routes. 1 is a modem router.

Michael,
If I remember correctly, you have 2 routers. You
should refer to your old conversations on this message
board where myself and others described how to setup
your network. I would never have hit the reset button,
your issue was probably with your cabling.

Here is my setup:
I have the modem (actiontek pk5000) in the
living room for my xbmc box. From there I ran a
hardwire into the office into a router (linksys
wrt54g) which feeds a computer in my brothers room and
my main computer.
I decided to move my main computer and after I
did so the internet after the linksys would not
connect. so I unplugged the linksys and reconnected
the power but that didn't help. SO I figured that
maybe I needed to reconfigure it so I pressed the
reset button for 30 seconds and connected the internet
port to the computer and restarted the computer but I
couldn't get into the configuration page
(192.168.1.1). I seem to remember that it was
192.168.101.1 but that didn't work either. What am I
doing wrong?
