im sorry im in a hurry and wanted to get this out on the web... i know
this isn't the correct news group but it seems google is having some
problems..

Ok im trying to hook up my buffalo g54 airstation up to my ethernet
connected PC, thats running slackware. I log into the router fine, and
go through the wizard. 1st I click on the cable modem button, then i
click on the automatic IP assignment option. The wizard the proceeds to
say..
"WAN side IP address setup is being completed.
Wait for a moment while the next page loads."

I then get this message
Enable the DHCP Server

Changing settings to notify of a domain name obtained by WAN side DHCP
server.
* Renew the LAN side PC's IP Address to obtain the domain name.
Im not to sure how to renew the LAN side PC's IP adress, so i tried
killing the dhcpcd process, then i tried to run dhcpcd again.

Next I proceeded with the setup wizard, this is where i get my error

1st it says
checking for Intenet connectivity...
Cable(Idle) it switches between idle and discovery

after about 30 seconds i get this..
The connection was unsuccessful...
Cable(Failed)
,please confirm.

any help will do,
thanks,
James Barnett
