Jim -
I have found with both my previous DW6000 satellite modem and the current
DW7000 that there is a definite preferred sequence to bringing up the
system/network. With everything "cold iron,":
1. Plug in/turn on the satellite modem ONLY. Nothing else until it
stabilizes and the blue lights burn steadily.
2. Turn on the router. Do nothing else until all lights stop flickering
and
it is stable.
3. Turn on the computers, in no particular order.
Reason for this is so the modem can have an IP address available for the
router when it needs one, and in turn, the router will have them available
for network member machines when needed.
The above works with properly configured machines and network, but if they
aren't, then it may not get you up. Works fine with mine using a DW7000,
LinkSys WRT54G router, 2 wired machines and 2 wireless, with the
occasional
visitor using wireless, after I provide them the WEP key.
That is probably good advice if he was having problems accessing the
internet. But he doesn't, his problem is sharing between machines on his
network.
