I just got my router today from newegg, i put it in in the place of my old netgear hub. The router worked for about 10mins now its not working, i went to the online interface and setup it up there to act as a dhcp server. The ips are correct but im still not able to connect properly, cause everything is green light so im really confused.
I bought a Zonet router/switch 4lan 1wan setup since it was the cheapest with nat on it, im wondering if this is the problem or if i have something configured wrong.
Any suggestions please and thank you of course
 
Do you have a static or dynamic IP from your ISP?

If it is dynamic, is your router able to resolve an IP address from the ISP?
 
Yea its doin that and resolving the dhcp address from my isp, its just the internet is not working when i hook up and attempt to use the router.
 
Hmm, are you sure your router is being assigned the address, and it is not just a default, i.e. are you on cable and need to ensure that you either register your new router IP external interface MAC or clone it from whatever device was connected to originally? - can you see other PCs OK on your LAN?
 
Yea i ping my different systems and i get 0% packet loss, i did check and it is receiving the correct external ip address. It is also distributing the local ips properly, cause i put in a pool of addresses going from 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.99 and the ip's are being routed properly.

Sorry, do you mean the IPs are being assigned properly or routed properly (i.e. if you drop to a command prompt and do a 'route print' do you get :-

assuming your IP is 192.168.1.2 and your router is 192.168.1.1
Also check you do not have any persistent routes.
Did you have any of your machines set up as a gateways before i.e. using ICS or similar
 
No ics or anything like that is setup, the router is being assigned an external ip from my isp which is down at like 4.27, my router is assigning ips to each computer which is two of them. The ips are being setup and recognized by both comps, and i used the web based interface to set it up as a gateway.
So i dont know whats going on, cause everything is setup correct i just cant get on the internet
 
Can you ping www.yahoo.com? Try that, just to make sure of two things: 1. you can ping outside your box, and 2. you can resolve names properly.

If you are getting an ip address from your ISP you should be able to do this because your ISP should be giving you a DNS address to get to as well.
