> Guys,
> 
> I am having network troubles at my home office.  Here's the situation.
> 
> I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router.  WWW connection
> through my cable, thus a cable modem.  The router is the dhcp server.
> Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1.
> 
> Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should
> not mistakenly conclude that I understand it.
> 
> The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to
> a
> client system.  I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to
> the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to
> 192.168.0.10.  The problem is that their network and mine were both using
> 192.168.0.xxx.  The network guy that set everything up for the client
> asked
> me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did.  Everything came to a
> crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet.
> In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo
> and aol), others didn't (msn).
> 
> On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to
> 192.168.0.1.  Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the
> router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is
> causing
> havoc.  We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change
> it  (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
> 
> The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the
> following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically".  Once
> I
> go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway",
> everything works.
> 
> However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my
> computers
> since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway
> address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work.  This is going to cause
> problems
> when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set
> manually.
> 
> So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting
> configured.  It seems like it should be part of the router configuration
> but
> I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere.
> 
> If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.  We can
> email
> (offline) at jcolby at colbyconsulting.com or (preferably) use chat at
> jcolby at colbyconsulting.com for MSN, jcolby_c2db for yahoo, or jcolbyC2Db
