I cant connect to the internet with my smc2804wbr router. I contacted my isp and they said they can see the router but it isn't accepting an ip address, it is on a "discover offer loop". i contacted smc previuosly and they said i have to assign a static ip to the computer. do i assign the ip address to my "Local Area Connection" or to my " Wireless network connection". My isp says i leave it on "obtain ip address". I connected the router on a different pc a cable running from dsl modem to router then cable going from port 1 to pc and was able to get on the network. i tried this on my pc and doesn't work. There must be a setting on my pc that isn't set right. i have my xp firewall disabled. Thanks in Advance Steve

smc said assign a static IP??? your router should be spooling it out to your PC, so no need for static. They mite be saying assign a static so that you can contact your router and congifure it more info need Router should be set to Obtain IP address should be setup as DCHP server LAN PC's set to recieve IP automatically cant help n e more Jaymc.co.nr

Your right it was to set up the router. i didn't know that it was just for setting up router. Thanks. What other kind of info do you need. Router is set up as DHCP server and obtain IP address LAN pc is receive IP automatically. This router was setup on a previous pc and i bought it off the guy. it was working fine he said that he just plugged it in and it worked. Thanks in Advance Steve

what youve just describes sounds correct. Just check in your routers config that is got its WAN IP Jaymc.co.nr
