Linksys E1000 Problem

[LW07]

Ok, I have a Linksys E1000 Router, and when I try to get it set up I get a "Connected to router, can't determine if connected to internet" problem.

I then went in manually and tried setting up the IP address manually in two ways: 1. by using a static IP address and 2. the automatic DHCP option, but no matter what happens, although the router recognizes the computer, I can't get it to detect the internet connection coming from the modem and get on the internet.

Strangely, when I plug the modem straight into the PC, it works great, but when I try to route it into the router, it fails.

Is the router defective, or am I doing something wrong?

Do you need to enter a user name/password into the router? Who's your ISP?

I don't need to enter a username or password when the Ethernet Cord is plugged directly into the computer in order to connect to the internet.

I do need to enter a username/password into the router when accessing it's IP address in order to manually set things up(which even then it won't connect to the internet).

Here's my "/ipconfig all" results.

With router:

Windows IP Config:
DNS Suffix: (Blank)
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No


Physical Address: 00-50-8D-7E-B7-FF
IP Addy: 192.168.1.114
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfig Enabled: Yes
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1



And with the Ethernet Cable plugged straight into the PC:

Windows IP Config:
DNS Suffix: Blank
IP routing: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No


Ethernet adapter LAN 2:

Physical Address: 00-50-8D-7E-B7-FF
DHCP: Yes
Autoconfig: Yes
IP Addy: 173.216.47.44
Subnet: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 173.216.44.1
DHCP: 172.24.120.75
DNS Servers: 208.180.42.100
208.180.42.68

What's going on here?

Who is your ISP? What type of connection is it?

Some Cable ISPs only allow a single MAC address and have a 4-hour timeout. Because your computer was attached first, you must wait 4 hours before you can attach a different device.

Alternatively, you can call them and have them reset the lease, or you can clone the MAC address of your PC on to the router's WAN port.

I got my original router from my sister's house and put that back in, and it works!

Seems like the problem was that if the new router was to work, I would have had to have had the ISP people work their magic to get the modem and the new router to recognize and communicate with each other.

just do mac address cloning to copy the wan mac address of old router to new router.
