Modem --> Router --> PC's
Forget the USB port... do not use it..
First of all, desktop #1 has no ethernet modem and I cant change the router configurations through it, so I connected it to desktop #2 to save the settings on the router. (I dont know if this is a problem)
This is how everything is connected:
The Cable Modem goes through USB to desktop #1 (this internet connection works perfectly)
Then from the Comcast Cable Modem, through a Cat5, it is connected to a NetGear MR814v2 Router with nothing else connected.
Now when I goto desktop #2 (20 feet from desktop #2) and connect to the wireless connection with a NetGear WG311v2 Wi-fi Card it seems to connect properly. But once I recieve 60 packets it will not go up further, and am not able to connect to the internet in general. Sent packets seem to go through. My IP address is valid and it has no problem retrieving it.
Any ideas why this happens would be much appreciated.
