networking trouble,help!!!

[fitfella29]

just tried to install a router between my two comps both winxp.but when i set it up on the host pc it comes up with :

"cannot complete the network setup wizard

other computers cannot connect to the internet through this computer

in addition to its internet connection this computer must have a connection to you network"

before that it said i have more than 1 network adapter so i disabled the 1394 net adapter.

any suggestions?

set one of your pc's to:
IP: 192.168.0.100
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.0.1

open IE browse to 192.168.0.1 & setup your router
with default settings winXP should be set to obtain IP address automatically, you shouldn't have to configure much.

i think when i connected my router i somehow lost my ip address i had to disconnect my router and connect my modem back up and ring my ips`s support line to help me get my ip address back.maybe that was my problem that i didnt have a ip address for my router? im gonna give it another try tomorrow.

my two computers can see each other but when i turn my router on i lose my internet connection and i cant go to 192.168.2.1 to config my router.
