Ok well heres the problem, hopfully somone can help. i just receved my xps 400 today and after clearing all the junk and getting it to how i wanted i "attempted" to get internet. With my local cable provider which is a town provider and i get dsl from them. I know that i cant have it optain settings auto. I have the ip adress and all of that to punch in. But heres my problem. I dont know which i need to put that number into. I tryed putting it into the linksys but it just connects to my router where the internet goes into but its not picking up the net. Theres very little packets sent and even less receved. I tryed messing with that other network under local area conection but i couldnt seem to do that either i punched the i.p adress into both and nothing seems to work. Theres internet going into the router. the router is sending. so its somwhere in my pc with this external usb wirless internet card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cant seem to figure out what the problem is. All i know is that i need to punch in my i.p and Not detect settings.
