 |
|
| I just bought a d-link ethernet router so as to share my internet connection with my other system. Unfortunately, even though it looks like the IP address has stayed the same, when I am hooked up to the router, I can't access my IP.... any tips? |

I also just bought a D-Link router. After getting up to Tier 2 tech support, I finally found out that one computer on a router cannot access a webserver on another computer on the same network. The only way to access it is by typing in the internal IP (192.168.0.x) and not your real IP (65.203.38.27 or whatever).

Yes, tech support can be horrible these days.
