Switch and Router

Hi guys!


I have 4 Port LINKSYS Etherfast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) and 16 Port Dlink Switch 10/100 how to configure this two.Pls Pls Pls give me helpfull sugession and fast replay.

 

What do you want to configure?
If you want to connect your switch to your router just go and get an ethernet-cable and connect one of the 4 router-ports with one of the 16 switchports.

If it doesn't work because these devices don't use AutoMDI-X (don't know if they do but if not, the port-LEDs stay dark), then you must use the uplink-port on the switch side or get a crossover ethernet-cable.

You should do this:

Internet --> straight cable --> WAN on router
any LAN port on router --> crossover cable --> any port on switch

Then you should configure your router (settings you can ask your ISP) and your computers with the correct settings (for example automatic DHCP taken from the router).

 

It is Compulsary to inform ISP's.If you help me i will do that.DHCP settings all those things.

I didn't understand what you meant.

 

I am telling how to configure router and computers with the correct seetings.shall i just only cross over cable or any thing more.

 

First you have to know your ISP's settings (IP Address, Gateway, DNS, Subnet Mask, connection type).
Then you connect to the router's IP (by default, 192.168.1.1). You can do that on Internet Explorer typing:
http://192.168.1.1
The default password is "admin", with no username.
You configure your ISP's settings there.

Then you connect everything like I told you to do before.
Then you configure your NIC (network interface card) with a fixed IP, or better, with automatic settings (the router will provide those settings if you enable DHCP on it).

 

Thanks

Why serial cable? You should connect your NIC with a normal ethernet UTP cable to any of the router's LAN connectors.

 

UTP cable means!


I connected normall cable only CAT5 cable.

Wait a minute... what were your settings before changing everithing?
You should point on the browser to your router's IP. Your router's IP should be your PC's gateway IP adress. So check on your previous settings, or set your computer to take the IP automatically and check with ipconfig what is your gateway.
Then set up your router.

 

How to set up in my router's IP

I have no C.D

That's Cryping configuration is right.

 

I don't remember the color codes for the cables, but if both ends of the cable have the same order, then it's probably OK.

You don't need a CD to set up the router, you do it by typing the router's LAN IP on Internet Explorer.

 

Router's Ip is 169.254.93.174

1)Standard, Straight crimping Router to Computer.

2)Then I typed on Browser http://169.254.93.174 didn't get problem came Cannot find server problem.

3)There is a little reset button, either on the front.I reset it.

4)Then after I typed again on Browser http://169.254.93.174 didn't get same problem came Cannot find server problem.

Pls give me helpfull sugessions.Thanks for replay.
