Title: linksys router
Post by: stavos Holmes on September 22, 2005, 07:24:30 PM

I'm having trouble conecting my second computer to the internet through my linksys wireless router.  I have it wirelessly connected to my laptop but i want to connect it to my second computer usinging a phone line through one of the extra ports in the back.  On my second computer it says it's connected with it but i cant get onto the internet, it's the same old "this page cannot be displayed" message.  Please tell me what i'm doing wrong i've tried everything i can think of but nothing works. ???

You can't use a phone line!!! It may look similar, but it's not the same at all. You need an RJ-45 CAT5 ethernet cable. You can get them at any computer store, Wal-Mart,l Radio Shack, etc. That will help you solve your problem.
