belkin54g+imac g4+ps3 HELP ME E:'(

Ok. The story is I have a imac g4 that is connected to the dsl modem which in turn is connected to the belkin54g wireless router and then back into my imac, which worked perfectly for my ps3.
But i went and got a new macbook pro that wont connect to my network and my ps3 has dropped off the network and i cant connect to it anymore. Somebody please help im about to have a very expensive bonfire.

Your DSL modem will be connected to a phone line. There should be an Ethernet cable to the router from the DSL modem. All your devices should be connected to the router via wired or wireless connections. There might be other ways with sharing and such, but it should be setup as I described above.

So what you are saying is you have your DSL modem connected to your iMac, but you also have the router connected to the iMac as well? That doesn't make any sense.

It should go like this:

Modem --> Router --> iMac, PS3, MBP

All devices should connect only to the router.

that doesnt work at all.

Is your DSL provider using PPPoE? Try hooking up the phone line to the DSL modem and then Ethernet to the Belkin router. Try getting one computer online with a wired connection. Once you have one online you will be good to go. You might have to put some settings in the Belkin to get it working with the DSL provider.

my imac is using the wired connection. The macbook and ps3 can see the network, but can't connect to the net.

oh yeah and my dsl is using pppoe.

this what my connections look like. any help would be welcome. cheers.

Get that imac off of the modem NOW. Hook the router directly to the modem. You will need to use the same pppoe seettings as on your imac and might need to do a mac address clone as well. once that is setup, connect everything (imac, mackbook, ps3) to the router.

sorry, but not great with networks. what are the exact steps i need to do to correct this. thanks.

What brand and model DSL modem do you have?

netopia dsl modem and a belkin54g wireless router.

Not to be a pain but what is the Model Number on that Netopia? Some have their own router built in and some do not. That makes a big difference using it with the Belkin.

cayman 3300 series.

What DSL are you using? Which company? Do you have a Username and Password PPPoE Login in the Netopia to connect with your DSL? I found the manual on the Netopia 3300. Just need to know more about your DSL.

yeah im using PPPoE on my dsl.
