please help me guys!?

Question

hi all. Please help me on the following matter: I subscribe to ADSL internet connection and I use modem Thomson Alcatel speed touch 510 with 4 ethernet ports. I also have a wireless cable modem and router linksys WCG 200. I intend to use the linkysis as an access point for the ADSL internet connection. My question is is it possible, given that both are of different platform (one is ADSL & the other is cable)? if yes, how to connect the 2 modems so that I can access the ADSL internet via linksys access point? I once heard bout bridge connection, but I don't know the settings. Does anyone know the settings to connect the 2 modems? my PC OS is windows XP professional SP2. Any helps would be greatly appreciated....and please excuse my English. Tq all in advance!

You want to use a cable modem on ADSL?

Answer 2

Plug in 1 ethernet cable to any port of both modem/routers, as long as it is not labeled "Internet" on that port. The ports do not need to match numbers at all.



The router that currently gets an internet connection: Make the i.p. address 10.0.0.2



The rounter/modem you want to turn into the access point: Make the i.p. 10.0.0.3



The router/modem with ip of 10.0.0.3 must be set as "Automatic DHCP"



Subnet mask of 10.0.0.3 must be 255.255.255.0



Username and Password must be on 10.0.0.2 router/modem.



10.0.0.3 modem does not need username and password.



Disable wireless of router with 10.0.0.2 as you will not need that, and will access the internet wirelessly through the 10.0.0.3 one.



If needed, put a WEP security on the 10.0.0.3 router, but not on the 10.0.0.2 .
