Re: Laptop not finding router

Since the router has DHCP active, set your labtop to acquire its IP automatically. Wire directly to the router. Do this after all of the FIRST instructions.

If you followed all of the other directions and you are the only computer attached to the router, you should be IP 10.xx.yy.10. Now connect the labtop to the ETH2 on the DS and ETH1 to the router. Everything should be golden from here.

I wish they would tell you to auto acquire in the instructions, but they don't. I've configured 2 labtops this way and both do fine.
