You first of all need to check the TCP/IP settings of your computer.
Please note that the author is assuming you are using MS Windows
(Win9x or 2K/XP) or Mac OS10; please make appropriate
allowances if using another operating system or platform such as
Linux. The default IP address of the ASUS router is 192.168.7.1 on
subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In simple terms this means that, in
order for your computer to talk to the router, their IP address should
be in the range from 192.168.7.2 to 192.168.7.254. If you already
use TCP as your default network protocol and you don't use IP
settings in the required range then you will have to either
permanently alter the settings of your computers to suite or change
the default address of the router. If you wish to alter the settings of
all your computers to suite then it is probably best to ask the person
in charge of your network set-up to do this for you. If you want to
alter the router then you will have to temporarily change the settings
for your PC.
You will need to configure your computers to communicate with the
ADSL Router-modem. To do this, you will need to configure your
PC's network setting to obtain an IP address automatically (by
default the SL6000 is configured to act as DHCP server).
Computers use IP address to communicate with each other across
a network or the internet.

Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start menu.)
Then, click on Control Panel and double-click on the System icon.
Click the Cancel button when done.
Once you know which operating system you are running, follow the
directions in this step for your computer's operation system.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, ho w to configure your
