Someone gave me a Linksys wrt54g Router , but did not know if it
worked. I needed five network connections to my setup, four computers
plus a printer. (all CAT5'ed). My network has always worked just
fine, just one connection short, when I just used my Verizon router
modem.
So, I have CAT5'ed the Linksys to a CAT5 port on the Verizon. two
computers to the Linkksys, leaving two computers plus the printer
CAT5'ed to the Verizon.
I find that my setup networks just fine with the two computers still
connected to the Verizon, and so does the printer. No surprise.
However, the two computers CAT5'ed to the Linksys do not network. In
fact, I can't even connect to web URL's on those two computers any
more.
The Linksys may be bad I guess, but the front panel indicators seem to
be correct as shown in the Linksys WRT54G User Guide I downloaded :
Router power LED is on (green)
WLAN link LED is on (green)
Computer 1's LAN link/act LED is on (solid green)
Computer 2's LAN link/act LED is on (flickering green)
Computer 1's LAN full/col LED is on (solid green)
Computer 2's LAN full/col LED is on (solid green)
Computer 1's LAN 100 LED is on (solid yellow)
Computer 2's LAN 100 LED is on (solid yellow)
INTERNET link/act LED is on (flickering green)
INTERNET full/col LED is on (solid green)
INTERNET 100 LED is on (solid yellow)
I tried setting up the Linksys using info at:
http://www.columbia.edu/acis/networks/aptnet/linksys/index.html
I say all this in the hope someone out there may have this Linksys,
and have it working, and can maybe suggest what I am doing wrong or
what I can try. Telling me to pitch it is okay too, I guess.
