HERRO.
I just got back to my school’s campus and had a little trouble connecting to the internet at first because my IP and DNS were set to specific numbers instead of auto-retrieve. I’d ask ITS how to help me but my IT department is never open ATM.
SOOO.
I come to you for help
(and maybe sexual favors)
I have a linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router. Now, if I connect the router to my computer through port 1, I have no problem accessing the router’s settings, so they can be changed freely if needed. When I connect my computer straight to the ethernet port in the wall, it works perfectly. However, when the ROUTER is connected to the ethernet port in my wall, I cannot connect the the internet via hard wire or wirelessly.
SO IN A NUTSHELL.
My internet works fine.
I can access my router.
My router cannot take the internet from the wall to my computer even though it works directly.
I love you all.
Kinda.
so do you have your ethernet adapter to pick up a certain IP & DNS?
Go into the TCP/IP settings and set them to auto.
I did, that’s how I fixed my direct connection into the ethernet jack.
Now, when I connect my router to the jack and connect my PC to the router, my internetz does not work.

Go into the router, turn DHCP off, and use it as a switch. Eliminates 99% of headaches with college internet.
