Right ok, ive recently bought a new Gaming pc and decided to hook it up the net today however im having problems doing so, i've never used a Router before and never needed to use the internet for more than 1 computer either so i thinks its me setting it up wrong. Ive got a Sagem f@st 800 Modem and the Linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch Router. I can connect to this computer fine with the modem but i cant connect to either computer with the router nor the modem to the new computer as im running Vista64 and my modem sais its not compatitble.
Ive tried following the tutorial the router disc gives you but tis layed out in XP style and so doesnt look like what it does on my new pc. All im doing is connect a line from the phone socket to a DSL Filter into the router then using an Ethernet cable (the blue one) straight into the back of my PC, ive not really messed around with the network settings on Vista as i dont really know what any of it is, so any help would be greatly apreciated, thnx in advance.
PS: might be helpful i dunno, this computer is Windows XP Home Edition and im on tiscali 2mb.
