Cannot console in or telnet to Router

Router console connection will not open and connect. Cannot telnet to the Router as well. Any suggestions? This is on a frame relay hub and spoke router that is in production. Thanks!

Speed in the terminal emulation software could be the issue and flow control should be set to none. Also, it could be caused be memory problems. If memory gets highly utilized or fragemented telnet and console sessions won't open and the only fix is a reboot.

Cannot connect IBM Thinkpad to Linksys Router Wirelessly

I recently moved in with a friend, and my IBM Thinkpad T42, with Windows XP, cannot connect to her Linksys WRT120N router wirelessly. I am able to connect to the internet using an Ethernet cable, and I am able to connect to other public wireless networks.
I have been told by Cisco helpdesk people that it is because Windows XP does not support WPA2 security, and/or that because they don't know much about IBM computers, I should get rid of the third party internet connection software, IBM Access Connections, that came with my computer.
I have been having this problem for a week, and I did not even know I had IBM Access Connections until today, so I don't think that's the problem. Also, my friend has been using that application successfully on her computer, Thinkpad T61, Windows XP, to connect to this router, which she has been using for 2 years. So with two almost identical computers, does anybody know why my wireless connection isn't working?

Answer these questions, I may be able to give you the right solution to your issue:
1. Go to your Network Connections folder on your wired computer and check which one is connected:
a. Local Area Connection
b. Broadband Connection
c. 1394 Connection
2. What is the IP address of your computer?
3. Who is your internet service provider?
4. What is the error message when you connect the wireless computer to the network?

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Cannot telnet into router

What do I do when all of a sudden I can't telnet into my router through any interfaces?
I can ping the interfaces successfully, by IP and DNS name. Nothing has changed since the last successful login.
error msg:
Connecting To c3640...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

The symptoms you describe sound like all the vty ports are in use. This may happen if you have configured the vty ports with no exec-timeout (or with exec-timeout 0 0 which is the same thing). If you can get to the console port the show user command (or the who command) should indicate which vty are in use - and I suspect that they all are.
If you can get to the console port and enable mode you could clear some of the sessions which would make telnet work again.
If you can not get to the console port you might wait and try later and see if it works after someone logs off. The other alternative is to reboot the router.

LAN Switches cannot be accessed by Telnet, SSH or console in native vlan

Hi to all of you:
I do have a question about tagging the native vlan.
In our network we do have about 90 L2 and L3 switches, 2950 the oldest, 2960, 2960S, 3560 PoE, 3750 and 4503E, and we are running VTP, and 43 vlans within the entire network.
our Native VLAN is still vlan 1, and there are many corporative applications running in this vlan.
We have upgraded the IOS for the switches to the latest IOS version about 6 months ago, and after that we started to have issues on the switches, related to accessing the switch, either by telnet, ssh, or even console. However, the switch is still working fine, I mean, doing all bridging and switching traffic.
I have to reset or reload (power cycle) if I want to access the switch.
I have read that having the native vlan can be a problem.
Could you please let me know if you have gone through this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Javier F. Berthin H.

Hi Karhtick:
I guess you have the best answer, you suggested the memory command and I am attaching you as result.
Next step should be to downgrade the IOS?, because we did the upgrade just in order to have the latest IOS published by Cisco.
If you need the config please let me know, for complementary comments.
Thanks for your help.
Javier

Telnet to router through AUX port

i have configured my router to telnet through modem dialin but when i dials from my pc to router it give me garbage charcter in my hyperterminal. can any one help me that is this is problem with my router configuration or the cable connection with the router.
router AUX port --> ciscoconsole cable --> cisco 29-4043-01-->modem

Even though the AUX port is supposed to "auto-baud" (usually you need to hit the "Enter" key a couple times), some/many/most/all current modems will set the DTE speed (the console cable) to the DCE speed (the modem-to-modem link) ... and "auto-baud" doesn't always work.
Since the modems will (by default) connect at 56K (or the top speed), chances are that it will try to talk to your Cisco device at some baud above 9.6K, which it is probably expecting.
You can do one of a couple things:
Hard set the modems to a 9.6k DTE speed (and/or DCE speed, since you won't go faster then the slowest baud)
OR
Experiment on the router to hard set the DTE speed to the baud set on the modem's serial port (frequently 115 kilobaud).
Check it out and get back to us.
Good Luck

HT201493 My Wife and I share the same email address but each has an IPhone. We would like to have both of us individually on find friends but cannot do it via the email route. how is it done?

My wife and I share the same email address but have separate IPhones. We would like to have each phone individually on "find friends" but cannot do it via email route. How is it done?

make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

The host name cannot be resolve ? ( with linksys router )

Hi all, I have some problem with setting up a network. I tried to set my network according to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network the network/internet is fine except the host name with "http://" cannot be resolve. For example
ping 216.239.61.104
ping www.gogle.com
both work fine, until I try,
ping http://www.google.com
it give me error, tell me that the hostname cannot be resolved. I tried to config my network using both dhcp or fix-ip, but the problem still present in both way. Internet works fine in windows/ubuntu.
Anyboy has any clue ? The router I use is wrt54gl with tomato firmware.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
if pinging www.google.com works then dns resolving _does_ work. Why would you want to ping http://something?
You should try opening http://whatever in a browser not pinging it from command line.
Or am I missing something obvious?
Yes, for instance, all mirror list for pacman is in "http://...." or "ftp://...." form. I could easily change the repository list, but I'm not sure if it'll have same problem in future with other program. Also, if it work in ubuntu and windows, why not arch.

Windows host cannot establish Ethernet link to Arch Router

This is a weird problem.
I have a Windows host about 20 meters away from my Arch Router, the Ethernet cable goes into the wall, with wall sockets, so it's a total of 3 cables (1 in wall, 1 @ router, 1 @ host). I've tested the Ethernet cables with a LAN tester, they are all fine. When I connect the host to a Linksys router using the same cables, an IP address is obtained and the link is up and running.
But when I connect the host to my Arch Router (an Arch computer with some network cards), no ethernet link at all is detected. No lights on the ethernet card of the host, and ethtool on the router reports the link being down. I have connected my laptop to this ethernet card of the router and it works just fine, I get an IP and I can surf the web etc.
I really have no clue why this other host cannot establish a link. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be?

pyther is right. Check for Auto-MDIX support on your network cards.
What network cards are you using?
Rule of thumb:
Auto-MDIX is a requirement in the Gigabit Ethernet specification, so proper Gigabit capable cards will work 99% of the time whatever cable you use.
Fast Ethernet (100mbit) and below does not have Auto-MDIX in it's specification, so those 9 out of 10 of those cards will not perform it! When connecting these directly to another network card, use a cross-cable.
Also make sure the network cards are in working order. I assume the ArchRouter PC's network runs fine when you connect that to your Linksys router?

Cannot see Network drives via my router on iMac

I just purchased a new iMac today, set everything up and find that my 2 network drives that are connectd to my BT buiness hub 3 router are not showing in finder and I cannot remember what to do. I have a time capsule as well as a WD Network drive.
They both show on my old iMac (Early 2011) but on my new on they are not in my finder window?
Any help appreciated.

Connecting gaming console. MoCA adapter or Router?

Hello all,
I haven't really been able to find a definitive answer to this anywhere. Currently, my FIOS setup has the routers/wireless transceiver in a bedroom at the front of the house. I have a game console in the den at the back of the house. I do not want to move the router, but I want to get the gaming console off of the wireless connection and hardiwred with some cat5. There is a coax connection in the den, with a STB connected. I'm considering getting a MoCA adapter to use at this location, so I can branch a cat5 off and maintain the coax for the STB. Will this work? I keep reading what indicates to me that the MoCA needs to be downstream from the router, but one or two site don't seem to say that. So, can I simply install a MoCA adapter at the coax line in the den, split coax off to the STB and have cat5 for me console, and be happy? Or would I need a secondary router at this location instead of the MoCA adapter, becuase the MoCA would need to be downstream from the router?
Thanks in advance!

You confusion is justified, in that the diagram you listed does not represent your system (as I understand it). Note that in the diagram, the router is provisioned via Ethernet WAN. In your home, you are using what's called "coax WAN."
Don't spend too much time with this unless your curiosity is aroused and you want to delve further. Just realize that anywhere you have a coax connection in the building, you can add one of the adapter devices in question and also have an Ethernet connection at that same location.
Admittedly this takes some getting used to when one first encounters the Verizon or MoCA method. The confusion arises because the coax sends different types of signals at different frequencies over the same wire. What the adapter does is help separate these different signals for particular uses (TV, Internet, etc.).
I hope that hasn't made things more foggy. Very shortly you will be happy with the proposed solution.

Cannot print to network printer via router

I have attached my EPSON CX3200 printer to the USB port on my US Robotics router but i cannot print to it from my Mac.
When i try to print on it by wireless from a windows laptop, it works without problems.
I think i tried all settings in printerconfiguration, without succes.
I already found out that i had to select the GIMP driver for IP printing but that didn't help.
What should by the host name (xxx.local) for this printer when it is attached to the router? In my list, the printer attached to the router has the same host name as the local USB printer that is connected to the Mac which seems strange to me.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

thx, i came a step closer now:
i had to choose Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP and enter the device URL (http://...)
When i now try to print i get the message: "printer in use; new try within 10 seconds" but it cannot start printing. Any clue?

Hi, I'm gonna bump this question as I have the same problem.
I have connected to the internet by broadcasting my own signal and by setting up a closed network with my ipod in the past. Today I had the internet signal connected and working and when I tried the closed network, the ipod internet stopped working even when I switched back to the open broadcasted signal from my macbook pro.
My ipod says it's connected but it doesn't work.
I reset the network settings on my ipod. I restarted my ipod. I even restored my ipod using the back up I saved in itunes. Still, the internet doesn't work despite the fact I get the full blue bars in the upper left corner.
I don't get a "safari can't connect" it just keeps cycling the circle next to the blue bars and nothing happens. My other applications also say things like "update failed" or "Cannot connect to Youtube"
Any ideas?
Thanks
