Router Problem

[meepins]

Currently, I'm using D-Link Router to connect to the internet. I want to connect directly from my modem to my PC. I've tried this several times but, when I connect directly from modem to PC, the internet won't work. It has to go through the router.

Is there any way I can fix this so I can directly connect modem to my PC?

Thanks!

reset your modem.
Then plug it in....
If you still can't connect.
run cmd.exe then grab your ip by using ipconfig /all.
post what it says if you can't access the internet by reseting your modem and machine.

* Note *

Make sure you turn your machine off prior to this fix.
Reset your modem by, unplugging the power to the modem.
Wait about 1 - 2 minutes before plugging the modem back in.
Once you see that your modem's lights are on.
Start your machine.

Some modem's may require software for a computer to connect to them

just get into your command prompt when the modem is connected, and type the following commands:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew all

if this doesn't work, consult your isp, they'll hook you up.

geffin, if I type in those commands, would i still be able to use router if the command does let me use the modem directly?
