Hi, I have a Netgear DG824M wireless router and this worked well when I had
an ADSL connection in my old house.
I've now moved and I have Cable instead of ADSL broadband.
Thus, I can only put Cable into my DG824M as one of the ethernet inputs,
not as an ADSL input.
What I want to do is connect to the Internet through all the wireless
computers I have in my home. Strangely, some machines pick up a WAN IP
straight away. Others only do after a large number of reboots of modem,
router & PC. The default is just to connect to the LAN, which doesn't
enable me to connect to the Internet.
Any ideas?

I can see that it's a long time since the question was asked but just in
case anyone else comes across this and needs the matter cleared up I can
state loudly and clearly NO it will not work. I phoned Netgear technical
support and after a very long and eventually costly call they said it
wasn't possible.
A bit ridiculous for Brits at least seeing as the switch between cable and
Adsl isn't unheard of.
