DSL installed and running. D-Link Router not. Despite all the blurb about self-configuration, the router software seems to have a conflict with some PPPoE software installed by Verizon. When I check the status of the router it gets to the “connecting” stage, but not as far as “connected.”
Time to figure out how to “uninstall” the Verizon WinPoet stuff, I think; that’s what the D-Link installation recommended, but did Verizon tell me it was being installed during the process? Not that I recall. Bleah.
Oh, and why would certain sites return 404 pages every time I try them, even though they’ve always been accessible on dialup?
Update: Children, always update your firmware, even if the gadget is straight out of a shrink-wrapped box. Did that, and it worked with no putzing with WinPoet.
Weird about the 404 pages – as I understood it they originate on the web server hosting the domain. Getting a 404 error would suggest you’re actually hitting the web server and the domain but that it can’t find the page you requested. I hope you get your router sorted out soon.
