Hey bud, there can only be one Jeff in town. :P

I received my router today, and have been trying to figure out how the heck to set it up how I want it. Here's how I want it:

Ethernet Wall Jack --ethernet--> Desktop (ICS) --ethernet #2--> Router ---> Wireless

Right now, I've set the ethernet #1 on my desktop to share the internet to ethernet #2. When it does this, the second ethernet gets assigned an IP of 192.168.5.1, and whatever is hooked up to it needs its own IP as well.

Well, I plugged a cable in from ethernet #2 to the WAN uplink on the Verizon router (I'm starting to think that it needs to be hooked up to one of the regular LAN ports). I also disabled the DHCP on the router. Well, I can connect to the network just fine (with DHCP disabled, I have to enter in a static IP), and I can get to the router's config page wirelessly, but I can't access the internet.


Should I connect the cable to one of the regular LAN ports, and work from there? For some reason I just can't get this figured out haha. Thanks.

I have two of these routers, one at my mom's house and one at my apartment and they both work fine without any issues.

jefflikesbagels: Yes, try one of the regular lan ports, not the wan port.

I finally decided to say fuck it, and traded this router with the one at my family's business. So now I have a WRT54Gv2.0 that I have been messing with. I put Tomato on it, and internet connection sharing works like a charm. I also decided to mess around with it, and so far I put a heatsink on the CPU chip, and plan on wiring in a fan to keep it cool. Pointless yes, but it's cool tinkering with things. Engineering major ftw, lol.

When my router died I had rigged up 2 old 4 port switches and used ICS through my computer to the switches and happened to have 2 cables that were cross-over ready. In other words, I had a i7 powered router for a few weeks ^^
