Hello - I would be really grateful for some advice
We have one PC running Windows 98, Pentium 3, 450MHz memory and is connected to NTL broadband internet. (N.B. NTL dont officially support networks)
We also have a newer PC running XP AMD Athlon 2200+ and we bought a US Robotics router (8000-02) to share the 1MB bandwidth.
Worked fine for two to three weeks then suddenly stopped overnight. We reviewed router literature for troubleshooting tips, but now neither of us can access the Internet via the router. The Windows 98 PC will still access the Internet when connected directly to the cable modem but the XP machine will not. We have tried various combinations of IP and gateway addresses and reset the router several times with no success. Is it likely the router is at fault (as it used to operate OK) or are we missing something more obvious?!
