Cannot connect to PPPoE server with a Linksys WRT54G router

Hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me out, soon.
I went out yesterday and bought a Linksys router, as in my previous experience of using their products, I never had any trouble, but looking back, I think that may have been because I was using an ISP that used DHCP which is obviously more 'user friendly'.
I have an internet connection, but, at the moment, can only connect directly to my Siemens modem. When I put the router in the middle, it acts like it's not even there. I have only tried a wired connection so far.
I have tried installing the Linksys software on my flatmate's Windows machine, but that just hangs and continually asks for a password, (I have tried entering different ones, but to no avail).
The ISP is called Alice, (a German company).
Hoping someone can help, soon.
Thanks.

Thanks for your responses people. I have since figured out how to get to the Linksys web admin site, and I also have the wireless connection to my MB up and running.
The remaining problem is that my flatmates lovely old Windows XP laptop (wired only) cannot now connect. I am pretty sure it is not an issue with the router, but her Windows machine is all in German, and my German is ok, but dealing with techie stuff is another matter.
Any ideas?

  • Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server

    Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server
    My DSL connection periodically slows down to a crawl [less than 56kbps actual transfer rate].
    When I reset my DSL Modem it takes 30 MINUTES to 4 HOURS to reconnect.
    The Main status screen shows DSL connected at 1700/448 kbps.
    Advanced status WAN Status shows DSL connected but PPPOE not connected.
    I cannot ping the ISP router or the DNS Server.

    Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.
    Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.
    Hmm...
    #1 Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?
    Points to: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317
    #2 If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.

  • Can't get pass "Internet connection" on Setup wizard for new Linksys WRT54g router

    Hello everyone.
    Well, I just bought (today) a Linksys WRT54G wirelss router and wile going through the Setup portion of the wizard (part of the installation of the EasyLink Advisor application), after I connect all the cables (in proper order) it tries to establish an Internet connection but comes back saying that no Internet connection is present. I tried powering off and umplugging the Verizon Westell modem I have but it still says the same thing.  I even tried to get the set up completed with two other verizon modems I have but just can't get pass checking for Internet connection. 
    My ISP is Verizon and I use just a regular DSL connection using a Westell VersaLink model 327W.
    Is there anything I need to do to get this going?  I mean, the set up CD shows how to hook up the cables and everything so it really is not that hard but right after the "hook up the cable" portion it check for an Internet connection and that's were I get stuck.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Your problem is that the Westel "modem" is actually a "modem-router", and it uses the same 192.168.1.x  address space as the WRT54G.
    The ideal solution is to place the Westell into "bridge" mode.  This will convert it to a true modem (all router features are turned off).   I assume you are using PPPoE  (if this is not correct, please let me know).   If so, then you will need to setup the WRT54G to do your PPPoE login, when the Westell is set to bridge mode.  Also note that you must first disconnect the Westell from the WRT54G and from the Internet, before you attempt to place the Westell into bridge mode.
    An alternate solution is to leave the Westell as is, disconnect it from the WRT54G, then login to the WRT54G and change the "Local IP address" to 192.168.2.1 , then reconnect your system.  In this case, the Westell will do your PPPoE login, and the WRT54G will be set to "Internet connection type" of "DHCP - automatic".  If all you do is browse the web, do some emails, and basic stuff, this setup will probably work OK.  If you are planning more complicated stuff (Internet gaming with port forwarding, video conferencing, etc.)  then be sure to use the "bridge" mode described above. 

  • Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

    I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
    Below is a summary of the issue:
    After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
        "Cannot connect to the server at this time.  You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
        "Unable to retrieve all data."
        The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
    Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
    Other Observations   -  
    This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
    Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
    I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
    It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
    I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

    I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
    I am sharing my finding.
    1. First install the
    KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
    2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
    These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

  • TV System Update hangs at 21% with message "Cannot connect to proxy server"

    Hi,
    just installed TVSU (latest version) on my Thinkpad T40 (with WinXP Pro SP3, German). Installs fine, runs perfect after reboot, recognises the correct model, initiates search for updates and then stops at 21% whilst  displaying
    "Downloading Packet Information: Lenovo Help Center (1 of 1)".
    A few seconds later the error message
    "Cannot connect to Proxy Server"
    comes up with an OK-Box. Clicking OK terminates the entire update process, however TVSU continues to run properly and the process can be restarted with the identical result. This happens with Kaspersky Firewall on and off, no difference. Even rebooting the system w/o firewall and virus protection and starting afresh does not help either. Tried perhaps 15 times over the last 4 hours with same results. I assume that the error message refers to a proxy at Lenovo since in my local environment there is no proxy involved. The system is known to be free of viruses (clean installation yesterday and virus checked this morning).
    Note:
    The display/error message above were translated from German into English so the corresponding original English displays/messages may look slightly different.
    Any ideas?
    Regards from Germany...

    I have discovered one other potential cause of this behaviour.
    If your computer is attached to a Domain, ensure you are connected to the Domain using a profile that has administrator rights when attempting these upgrades.
    I was using a local profile with administrative rights, on a network connection that was outside of the corporate LAN, and I was getting the "Cannot connect to proxy server" error.
    When I connected to our Corporate LAN and logged on to the machine with an administrative profile, the Proxy Server error went away, and I was then able to connect and download my required updates.
    Just an FYI if you are doing this inside a large, firewalled LAN running from Active Directory.

  • The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

    Hi all
    I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
    any real value over the former versions.
    This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
    through motions from the Dashboard:
    On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
    'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
    Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
    Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
    'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
    server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
    If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

    Hi,
    Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

  • Report cannot connect to OID server

    Hi all ,
    When I try test Report on Oracle Applaication
    http://hercules.dati.lv:7785/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo?server=rep_hercules&authid=portal/sys_new904
    then get error message
    REP-50200: Cannot connect to OID server.
    URL http://hercules.dati.lv:7785/reports/rwservlet/
    works fine.
    Connect with sqlplus portal/sys_new904 to Infrasructure is ok also.
    What a problem may be ?
    We can't run any reports on iAS :(
    We have iAS 10g on Solaris 8.
    Thanks a lot,
    Pavel.

    Hi,
    let me start asking teh question if you need reports to conenct to OID. This is required when you want to authenticate users via SSO or when you use Reports access control security to protect Reports Servers and Reports definition files.
    If the answer two both are NO, try
    SINGLESIGNON=NO in rwservlet.properties located in ApplicationServerHome\reports\conf
    and remove the elements
    <security id="rwSec" class="oracle.reports.server.RWSecurity">
    <!--property name="securityUserid" value="%PORTAL_DB_USERNAME%/%PORTAL_DB_PASSWORD%@%PORTAL_DB_TNSNAME%" confidential="yes" encrypted="no"/-->
    <property name="oidEntity" ...
    </security>
    from the <Reports Srever name>.conf file
    Restart the application server and you should be fine. I don't know why Reports Srever can't connect to OID, did you try and connect to DAS http://server:port/oiddas
    If this fails too, then possibly the problem occured when configuring the OID access during the midtier installation

  • BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network

    Hi Guys,
    I get the following error when i try to connect to BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network or security issue.
    This only happen on clients machines, I have installed the client tools on the server and tested, i can connect to Excel but not on the machine. My MS office version is the same as the one on the server. BPC is ver 5.04
    Has anyone experienced the same problem.
    your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Let me summarize your issue to see if I may help.  If I cannot, then you will need to work with SAP Support on the connection problem.
    - You have a single or multi-server setup?
    - Installed using BPC 5.1 SP3, (or 5.0.502) correct?
    - You can enter the BPC on the server, both via BPC Excel and BPC Admin?
    - When you initiate BPC Admin on your client, so can connect to the Server and perform Admin operations?
    - When you initiate BPC for Excel, and walk through the connection wizard, you cannot connect to the server?
    - When you are in the Connection Wizard, are you using a path or a Server designation?
    - Is the system on a single domain?
    - When you added users to the Admin Security profile, they were selected from a DOMAIN?
    - You have processed security and assigned ALL TASKS currently and processed the MEMBER ACCESS profiles, yes?
    After all of this, have you uninstalled 1 BPC client, cleared the ProgramFiles/BPC folder, and deleted the local stored BPC information?  If you haven't, just for simplification, I would attempt this process.
    You also hae read all the SAP Support Notes regarding using Excel2007 with BPC and the issues you may experience?
    Please let me know and maybe we can help.

  • Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

    Hi Ryan,
    Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Hi Aidan,
    "Your logon id (domain\user) does not have SystemAdmin rights; some functionality
    is disabled."
    This is caused by the fact that the user you are logged in as isn't in the UJA_SVR_DEFAULT table, the SYSADMIN field needs to have a value that contains your user id (i.e. DOMAIN\USER)   . You can set this up with the UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS program.
    "When I try to install APPshell the following errors occur:
    @8O@ UJA_DATA_CHECK E 006 Application PLANNING's multiprovider /CPMB/ATMKOOE not exist in BW
    @8O@ UJS_EXCEPTION E 003 Errors occured during "after import" method call during activation"
    Aidan, sounds like something went terribly wrong during your activation process. Do this, Clean the appset with the UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT program and make sure that everything is completely deleted. Make sure that there is a lot of memory available for the activation and try it again.
    It should work.
    Hopefully this helps you.

  • BPC cannot connect to ABAP server

    Hello Experts,
    I'm facing the following issue when installing SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP04
    When the installation is done (succesfully) I try to login to the server manager and get following error message:
    "Cannot connect to ABAP server; Check your ABAP server configuration"
    In the diagnostic, it is also the SAP ABAP Server connection that fails.
    I'm installing this with a domain user called BPCADMIN.
    In the ABAP system I added this domain user to the UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS program.
    When I check the table: UJA_SVR_DEFAULT I see 3 times the domain\BPCADMIN user.

    HI,
    I checked the 3 BPC SAP ID (BPC_SYSADMIN; BPC_ADMIN; BPC_USER). They are not locked.
    And all of them are communication users. I set the rules according to inst. guide. 
    I run the UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS program too.
    The UJA_SVR_DEFAULT table contains these lines:
    ADMIN -> BPC_ADMIN
    SYSADMIN->BPC_SYSADMIN
    USER->BPC_USER
    I tried to login manually with these users, it is OK. (they were dialog users )
    (the .Net server and the SAP BI system are not the same machines. I think this is no problem isnu2019t it ) Firewall are off on both machines.
    Can I create these users at the .Net server side and login to win server with them?
    I set these SAP users to BPC server .BPC_ADMIN is the BPC_ADMIN and so on.  Is it OK ?
    I have no idea what can be the problem.
    How can I check they are BPC specified users or not?
