so i went to a friends house yesterday to hook up a linksys router to their verizon dsl, i've dont plenty of these before and know how to do it. but this one was a little weird. when the modem is connected directly to the computer you can log into the modem by going to 192.168.1.1 but once i connect the router and everything when i goto 192.168.1.1 it logs into the linksys router which i know is normal but when i put in the username and password and goto the status page to connect it says cannot get ip from pppoe server.
now i messed with it for about an hour and couldnt get it to work, so when i went home i thought about it and thought maybe the IP of the modem and the IP of the router were conflicting with each other...because when iconnect the modem directly to the computer it connects with no problems so i know the username and password im using is correct.
maybe if i change the route to 192.168.2.1 or something it would connect? that was my thought, you guys have any other ideas?
