Hi I am fairly a newbie and do not have much knowledge of Linux but have googled and tried solving my problem but have not got a solution.

I have a bought a Netgear Wireless N-150 router WGR614v10. I am using my net connection via PPPoE wired on a Win 7 machine and the connection was flawless the MAC address on the router is of the Win 7 machine.

My problem is that I have an old machine PIII 600Mhz 398MB SD Ram on VectorLinux 6.0....I tried connecting the internet directly with PPPoE the connection worked fine and I could connect through the net...but now after installing the router the machine is not detected by the router(Wired). only my Win 7 (Wired) machine and my android phone (wireless) is shown in attached devices and the VectorLinux machine is not shown....Have tried various permutations after googling but have not come up with any solution.

The lan card light is on on the VectorLinux machine.

typed commands like ifconfig -a, lsmod, lspci got the reading:

open your manual read configure your router to connect to your adsl IP connection. after that you will then use auto dhcp to allow your computer to conect to your router.here is the manual
