I have a netgear WGR614v9 modem I received free from Virgin Media, but I just don't use it at all, so I want to disconnect it completely and just go BACK to using the ethernet connection to the cable modem.

The problem is I just can't work out how to get back online if I connect my modem straight to the PC.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of help online for disconnecting a router, it just seems to be all about setting ONE up.

I use windows XP SP3, and I have a core 2 duo with 1GB Ram.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.shutdown your computer, shutdown your modem, disconnect the RJ-45 ethernet cable from your router to your pc, disconnect the RJ-45 ethernet cable from your router to your modem, attach that cable from the modem to your computer where the
cable was from the router(to you network card)...power up your modem and wait till it syncs up(all lights are ok)....now turn on your pc...when it's up you should be all set...!!!

Good LuckThanks a lot for your help.

I did what you said, and I was still having problems, and then I thought I would have a fiddle with the TCP/IP settings.

I set it to FIND everything automatically, and then waited about 5 minutes and it couldn't find the network ADDRESS, so I disabled the network connection, then re-enabled it and it now works.Quote from: lostinsanity on February 03, 2009, 08:03:39 PM
