kidspice Under the router admin page, do you have an IP address under Internet port?
The configuration of the router depends on what kind of Internet connection you have from your ISP.
Normally, if your ISP is cable you will select "Use computer MAC Address" then you should be getting an IP address on the Internet port.
The IPs are in the same range i think.
I should say at this point that nothing works when plugged in via the ports. I learned that there was an issue when my wired bluray stopped working and when the kids' xboxes stopped working via ethernet.

could it be something to do with whether or not I have a dynamic IP or static?

THAT'S IT! Elaine, I wish I could buy you a drink! Thank You! I switched that option, promptly lost all connections, did a power cycle and bingo bango!

I'm going to fool myself into thinking I played a part in this solution as I did reference which setting I was using for the MAC address.
I'm at lease 3/4 computer illiterate.....Thanks Again Mod Elaine, you're the bees knees!
