Dustpuppy Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Physical connections: phone socket > adsl filter > netgear router > ethernet socket. (previous modem installed in rubbish bin) First, take your Mandrake firewall down (in the Mandrake control centre). Remove all installed connections (also in the MCC). Log on to your router and fill in all your login info, including getting DNS servers automatically. Check that you want to router to act as a DHCP server. Logout (it'll restart). See if your lights are working properly on the router. Give it a minute to connect and send login info. Back in the MCC, add a new connection - eth0, DHCP, you shouldn't need any other information. Check that it'll start on boot. When you finish the wizard, it should bring the connection up. If this doesn't work, come back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustpuppy Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Have you been able to login to the router before? Do you have a windoze box handy, and can you log in to it from that? Are you sure you got the original admin password OK? Try re-settting the router again, then turn it off and then on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Revolution Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I too have a Netgear DM602. It came without Install CD (ebay purchase) and therefore I'm trying to access the USB setup utility. I found and downloaded software from netgear.com.au which allows me to monitor the modem but little else. For some reason the modems DHCP sets my IP 169.254.whatever instead of the normal 192.168.0.x This of course means I cant access the inbuilt browser config software in the modem. If I set my linux ethernet to fixed IP and no DHCP (192.168.0.2) I still cant access the setup login even! Anyone can supply USB config software for this modem? Thanks Robert.
