D- Link Router & Satellite?

Apr 9, 2005 4:28PM PDT

Has anyone connected a D-Link (DI-514)or other Router to a Satellite Receiver? Does Direcway handle their broadband differently than DSL? If the signal is the same what info will I need from the ISP to set it up (IP/SUB/GATE/DNS/etc)? I set the Router Wan side on Dynamic but was unable to make a connection. The Lan side works fine using Static settings. Is a special Disk Router/Modem needed?
Thanks for any assistance,
