I'm using an XP Desktop. It stated there that the router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r10269293-Error-678-simple-solutions has been configured successfully. However, when I try to connect it to the Internet, I received Error 678: The remote computer did not respond. But, it works fine if I plugged off the router and connected the Internet directly to the modem (that's error 678 why I can use the internet now). Can anyone help me find out what is wrong with my router? I've been trying to do some troubleshoots for 4 hours on my own but it still didn't work. I really need your help since I'm really new to this networking stuffs. Thanks a lot.

You can do a couple of things. 1. Bridge the Billion router to act as a modem only (and probably need to configure the D-Link router for PPPoE and account/password); 2.
