Someone please help!

I'm trying to network 3 computers using Road Runner as my ISP (DHCP enabled) and Addtron ADR-E200P router.

It worked one-time (that is I had access to the internet) for 15 minutes and it hasn't worked yet.

Can anyone help me!

Thanks

I really don't know to much about routers cause I do not use them . But did you give each computer a static Ip. Plus make sure all there network protocols were the same? Hold on though there are a lot of good people here who use routers that will be able to help you out more.

Make sure that NAT is enabled on the router and that each computer's NIC card is set to obtain an IP automatically from DHCP, in this case the router. Also, make sure that you have no DNS or Gateway addresses entered and WINS disabled. You should have "Automatically detect settings" checked under IE>Tools>Internet Options>Connections.

These are the first things to check when you don't have connectivity to the internet using a router. Let me know if any other questions or if that doesn't work.

I've tried everything with this &*^^$% router and cannot figure out how to ensure NAT is enabled.

Help! Any suggestions
