Hi,
I’m trying to help someone setup their cable modem (Comcast) to a router D-Link DI-524 so they can have wireless access from two different laptops.

Currently, the hardware configuration is from the modem (surfboard) to router "port in" via cat-5. Then from the router (port 1) to the Ethernet adaptor on the laptop. Instructions to get into the router is type in 192.168.0.1 in the url. But I can not get in. The laptop is winxp pro and I did the “ipconfig” in cmd. The IP is not 192.168.0.x, but like 67.324.xxx.xx. Same with the gateway, but the last number is 1. When I have set this up before (in a different home for someone else), the 192.168.0.1. always works and the IP is set to 192.168.0.X.

I found this support link from D-Link and followed it, still not good.

All the lights are active in both modem and router and computer can get on the internet via current setup (modem to router, router to laptop via CAT-5)
Any recommendations?
