i got a router off some one and im lost! its a Netgear Gateway router and im having difficulty connecting it. In the manual it says to connect a straight through cable going to the internet port of the router and to my internet modem (which i did), and when it comes to connecting the computer to the router it says to use a crossover cable but the thing is that i spoke to a network technician about connecting a internet router to the computer and he said to use a straight through cable,
thats what got me lost! i tried using the straight through cable for both my computer and the modem but i get no ip address even tho its set to automatic ip
any ideas? is the manual saying the truth or is the technician?
