Getting Linksys router & Wifi Cam to work.

[apothecary]

Ok, here's my situation.

Hope this is the right place to post..

Trying to get a wireless webcam setup to work.

Windows XP 32bit desktop. Clean, works fine.

He has this cable modem
SMC Networks - SMC8014-BIZ EZ Connect

And this

ARRIS : Product Catalog : Touchstone® Telephony Modem TM502G

Which are each hooked up to a split coaxial cable.

And this router
Linksys by Cisco - WRT54G Support

And this camera
Amazon.com: D-Link DCS-930L mydlink-Enabled Wireless N Network Camera: Camera & Photo

And wants the camera to go wireless, so he can login and remote-monitor.

I re-routed the connection from the SMC to the linksys, then from the linksys to the camera.

Everything lights up but it will not recognize the router or the camera when I type in the IP of either.

Camera requires plugging itself into the ethernet network upon installation.

I've tried many different solutions as well as calling tech support for the camera.

He is open to replacing any of the equipment if needed, but this would go much faster (and get me paid sooner) if I could get these devices to talk to each other.

Tried logging into the camera's IP, no dice. Tried logging into the modem, no dice.

Camera is recognized but will not complete setup and I haven't even gotten to the long-distance configuration stage yet.

Any ideas?

Been a tech for a while but have tried many solutions up to this point.

Please help!

Thanks!

The SMC modem is a wifi router(doesn't need another router like the Linksys). The ARRIS is a cable bridged modem requiring a router to share the connection. If you need the VoIP from the ARRIS, plug the Linksys into the ARRIS and remove the SMC from the picture(no more splitter). What is the IP of the camera?
