Use of Router with Direct Network Connection I have a Macbook with the Tiger OS and have previously configured a D-Link router for wireless access. The router was cofigured when I was using a cable internet connection, so the cable modem was between the router and the cable connection.
I now have a direct network connection through my university (i.e., no cable or DSL modem). I have been unable to get the wired or wireless internet connection to work with the router. I can connect my Mackbook directly to the ethernet network connection and get access to the internet. However, when I try to connect the router between the computer and the direct network connection, the internet won't work.
As you can guess I am not a computer wiz and am a novice using wireless routers. Can anyone advise me on how to successfully connect my wireless router between my direct network connection and the Mackbook? Also, if there is a better section of the forum where I should be posting this thread, please let me know that. Thanks. |
