why do you have 2 modems? only need one per telephone line

The simplist would be to connect them to a network hub with an Ethernet cable, give each a static IP, turn on sharing and copy over the network.  You could also do the same with a cross-over cable. No additional software is needed.\n\nMany DSL or cable modems have built-in DHCP servers, so if you have ports available on your router/modem, you can use them and not worry with the static IP address.

My immediate thought is that your netgear router is not set up to run pppoe(point to point over ethernet) or your dsl modem is terminating traffic but Natting is not set up correctly. If the dsl is SBC (oops now att) 2wire, then log onto the 2wire via web(should be an icon in your tray) and check IP addresses and subnets. If your netgear is terminating dsl then check with the provider for pppoe settings. TX

My DSL required a router to be connected between the line and computer through a LAN port. There should be instructions and maybe even software to help you install.

discofro, my dad asked me to try this with his connection. We had two computers, each with an ADSL modem conecting to the master socket via a two way gang plug. It was a BT line and AOL broadband. The answer, unfortunatly, is ONE. Once one is connected, the other will not connect no mater how hard you try. Your conenction and setup may wield diffrent results however.

You want to use as few spliters and split the signal as few number of times as possible before it reaches the modem. Those sound the same, but what I mean is that you don't want to use a lto of splitters, but if you have to use one, don't use a 3 way where a 2 way would do.\n\nI know I had a problem after spliting where the signal became too weak. Here are something I had to do and you should keep in mine when splitting the lines.\n\nFirst, see if your cable provider recommends any specific splitter. I know I had a cable man come out when I lost my connection and he replaced my spliter with one he said worked better with the cable lines. Something about a frequency range. Usualy its the same kind that came with the cable installation kit, if one even did.\n\nSecond, same goes for the cable it self. Try to use the best possible cable you can. Your house is probly already wired with something, so your stuck there, but connectiones between the wall/spliter and the modem should be made with a good cable, not some leftover wire with a homemade end.\n\nLastly, like I said, don't split more than you have to. For instance, I know in my house the main cable lines comes in and is split with an 8-way and from there goes to the other rooms. To improve signal strength, I removed the cable line from the room in which my cable modem is in. After that, I inserted a 2-way between the main line and the 8-way, and then connected line from that modem to the two way. Thus, instead of having an 1/8 of a signal before it gets to the modem, it now has 1/2. That should allow you enough to put another splitter in so you can have ti go to both a modem and a TV without loosing connection. Anyway, hope that helped

call me 760-242-5453\nask for alan.\nor e-mail me at alan@axiommedia.net\n\nChances-are, you are trying to use the same network address as the one the modem has given your router. Something I've run into a GREAT deal of late. damn hybrid modems !\n\neg. if you DHCP RELEASE and RENEW your Router, it obtains a **WAN** IP of 192.168.0.1 YOU CANNOT USE 192.168.0.X for your **LAN**\n\nIt doesn't seem to matter that the subnet 255.255.255.0 would allow you to......don't do it. Put your Router on a **LAN** IP of something else....like 192.168.2.1\nthen with your PC's on DHCP themselves, Release and Renew them as well.\n\nhope this helps-------------------------------------\n\nin the LAN portion of your Router setup use the IP I gave you. \nif your Router is on  192.168.2.1\nthen YOUR PC needs to either be on DHCP, or \na static ip of\n192.168.2.100\nsubnet mask of\n255.255.255.0\ndefault gateway of\n192.168.2.1\nand dns of\n192.168.2.1\n\nhmmm, if your going to use DHCP for other computers in your house, and you want to use a Static IP for yourself, then use instead IP address 192.168.2.99 for yourself.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

Most likely wep/wap is not enabled.\nBtw, there is no such thing as a wireless modem. Must be a router/modem combo.\nhttp://www.webhazard.com/html/how_to_set_wep.html

Setting up network is complex. Setting up wireless is more complex. And then security adds more complextiy still. It is possible to do it "all in one shot." However doing so will make it nearly impossible to identify where the installation went wrong. Instead, my recommendation is to do this a step at a time, performing each step on the web page that manages your router and on the configuraion utility on PC. After step 2, ensure that you still have a connection, then move on to the next step.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAnd, whether you are working on a wired or wireless network, it is recommended that you configure the router while using a wired connection\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nIf you have DSL/PPPoE, ensure that you have your logon information before you start.\n\n1. Download and install the latest firmware for the router from the manufacturer's website\n2. Download and install the latest drivers and configuration utilty for your PC from the manufacturer's website Wired and Wireless. For wireless do not use the Windows WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) Utility. It has many known problems, including inability to see connections and dropping connections\n3. Perform a hard reset (typically by pressing and holding a pin/button on the back of the router) to reset the router to factory configuration.\n4. (Wireless only) Remove any configuration of your wireless card on the PC, if the card was previously configured\n5. (Wireless only) If you have a multi-mode router (b,g, pre-N), make sure your router is set to support the right networks. (Some of these routers (e.g.Linksys) can be set for specific networks. For example, if you have both b and g devices, you must set the router to "mixed mode" for both to connect)\n\nOnce you have done this, you should access your router's web page to\n\n6. Change your routers password\n7. Configure your network connection type. For DSL, you typically need to set it as PPPoE, and then enter your logon/password information. For cable modem, you typically needs to set it to DHCP. No logon or password is required. (DHCP for cable modem is usually the default)\n8. Enable IPSec Passthrough if you need to connect to a VPN at the office\n9. (Wireless only) Set SSID to your desired setting on router (not the default) and laptops/PCs and verify connectivity to the internet from each laptop / PC Required for wireless only\n10. (Wireless only) Disable SSID broadbast on the router and verify connectiviy (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only\n11. (Wireless only) Set WEP/WPA/WPA2 and verify connectivity (WEP/WPA/WPA2 should be set to something different than the SSID) (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only See security note below\n12. (Wireless only) (Optional depending on how paranoid you are) Set MAC filtering and verify \n13. (Optional if hosting games) Configure DMZ \n\n\nNote: Routers now frequently come with autoconfiguration setup software. While there is nothing wrong with this software, you should be aware that this software often does not support non standard configuations (e.g. LAN only, no internet) or all capabilities. (e.g. MAC ID filtering). If your needs extend beyond what the autoconfiguration tool supports, then perform a manual configuration by accessing your router's web page\n\nSecurity noteOnly WPA/WPA2 is not easily hacked. Any other type of security should only be viewed as enough to stop casual eavesdropping. If you use WEP you should expect that if someone wants your data, that they can get it.\n\nPLEASE GO THROUGH THIS TOOV V V V V V V \nhttp://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_zdpcm/is_200403/ai_ziff120551

If you are running Microsoft XP, make sure ur wireless cards are on on both laptops, make sure they both see the router(or connect to the router) by searching for your routers wireless signal (make sure u install the router properly).\nIf they both see the wireless signal form ur router then try to use both of them to brouse the internet (if they both work) then the next step would be to:\nsetup small office network (somewhere on the left after clicking on my Network places... make sure u have the same domain name for both laptops..........GOODLUCK

run a splicer from the box outside to the phone router. If they are on the same line, the signal gets weakened.We had the same problem and giving them each thier own dedicated line fixed the issue

How do you have them physically connected? Dual wan-port routers exist, but they aren't very common.  I think the USR 5462 is like 90% of the routers out there (only one WAN port) so you can only connect it one external modem at a time....

It ain't pretty, but you need a second NIC in the computer that will connect to the modem. Use the connection wizard to connect direct to the internet (modem) on the first computer. Set the second computer to access the internet thru another computer or router. Use a crossover cable to connect the first and second computer via NIC #2.

Your modem is prob not configured properly.

You need a router, mine is a westell with 4 ports and it came with my DSL.

try switching the cable or you may not have them setup as master and slave
