Problems networking @ home

[schumi84]

Hi there, have just recently purchased a new Linksys Cable/DSL Router (Model BEFSR41)to set up a small network at home, 2 pcs and my BT Internet.

At the moment i cannot get the internet to work through that router at all, and when both pc's are connected to the router, they can ping each other and the router, but when i try and access a shared folder on the other computer, it says that i am not authorised to access the given location, contact the server admin.

This has got very annoying now, and haven't even attempted to try and reconfigure the internet.

My config is:

Linksys Router IP : 192.168.1.3
(Running as DHCP server i think)

Main PC IP : DHCP enabled
Second PC IP : 192.168.1.4

I think the BT Voyager 210 Router IP is set to 192.168.1.1.

Any help would be appreciated as it is doin my head in, lol.

Cheers for the reply, thats a real pain that i have bought the wrong router, got it from a competitors website so hopefully they will allow me to RMA it, they are usually pretty good.

Gonna have to look at getting a different one then, any suggestions as to which would be the best switch to go for?

Soz for the noob thread, lol.

Cheers there Homer, have put the request in now so hopefully will get a reply shortly. The Linksys itself was 28 quid, so not a massive amount, but would ideally like to get it sorted as cheaply as possible.

Will have a look around for a good alternative.
