Cannot get a DHCP address from my ISP

I just got a WRT54G router, I managed to configured it all. I can ping any computers on the network. What I cannot do is get my DHCP address from my isp, meaning that I can't connect to internet.
I am 100% sure that my ISP address was given by a DHCP server since that's how it was configured on my old router before it got smashed into pieces.
I have the latest firmware upgrade for the router (version 6) and it is correctly plugged in my modem.
What is strange is that couple of hours ago, I managed to get an address for about 15 minutes, then it dropped and I have not been able to pick a new one anymore, no matter what I do.
Anyone can help me?

Alright, but how do I do that?
Disconnect the power cord.
Or if its a telephony modem, hold the reset button until it reboots.

  • Windows will not get a DHCP address from my OS X Server

    Is there a trick I need to do to get my windows machines to get and address from my OS X Server?

    i have had the same issue. Windows clients (XP, 2003, 7) just could not receive an address from the dhcp server.
    I think i got it solved by removing an invalid line in my dhcp server config file.
    This is what i did:
    stop dhcp server
    open /etc/bootpd.plist (you need admin rights to edit)
    remove the following two lines:
    <key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
    <string></string>
    save file
    start dhcp server again
    alternatively, you can fill the dhcp_domain_name with a valid domain name suffix. Both options seem to have worked just fine for me.
    <key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
    <string>whatever.mydomain.com</string>
    Tips:
    I am using Sublime Text for such tasks. It asks for administrator password when trying to save the file, much more convinient than trying to use TextEdit
    To get to the /etc directory from your favorite text editor easily: Go to the standard open file dialog. Press Cmd+Shift+G. Type /etc and press enter
    also see the official documentation:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/bootpd.8.html
    dhcp_domain_name
    The default DNS domain name (option code 15).  If this property is not
    present, the server will supply its own default domain name (if available).

  • OS X 10.6.7 not getting reserved DHCP address from router.

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.7
    My router is NetGear WGT624v3.  I have the router setup to assign out reserved DHCP address for my Macs.
    I am not getting the reserved address, but rather "any" address in the pool.
    Other types of devices are getting the reserved address.  For example, old windows computers, and my Android phone.  Only the Mac computers seem to be getting the incorrect addresses.
    Any ideas please?

    As long as it shows up in the Windows Boot Camp control panel I'd say fine, happened to a lot of people - I have not had Windows 7 show in Mac Startup Disk control panel for years in my Mac Pro.

  • Cannot get website email address from clicking Contacts Help

    Hi
    A lot of websites I go to and click on Contact us or email us nothing happens and therefore I cannot find the email address ,
    I have found a Way around that is plug in my Mouse and right click properties and sometimes I get the email address ,
    However this is annoying as happens alot .. Yes pop up window is turned off so if pop up should work
    any help fixing would be great ..
    example of webpage below
    http://www.capebyronimports.com.au/location.htm
    I click on there contacts email address and it just flashes but never see address
    How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
    thanks all

    Hi Globalmark,
    How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
    The email address should appear in the Status bar at the bottom of the Safari window when you mouse over the address. If there is no Status bar there, press cmd+/ to turn it on.
    Normally when you click on an address it should launch your local email application. Open Mail (Applications > Mail) and check in Mail preferences > General to see what application is currently configured to handle emails (don't ask me why this setting is here... only Apple can answer that one!).
    If it is set to Mail aready, try changing it to something else (any program, it does not matter which one) and then quit both Mail and Safari. Restart Mail, and once again change the default application to be Mail and quit Mail once more. Lastly, restart Safari and retry a site with an email link.
    Hope some of that helps!

  • Linksys WRT54GL won't get dhcp address from isp

    I'm using Linux.
    I just bought this router because it had good reviews on Newegg but for the past 4 hours I have gotten nowhere with it.
    When I connect the router to the net and click the refresh button on the browser interface, the router doesn't go out and get a dhcp address. I see the initial click of the mouse that hits the modem but no information comes back. No addresses are updated.
    I have tried cloning the mac address but that does no good either.
    Any hints appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try resetting the router for 30 secs in such a way that power light is blinking on the router.Also, try doing the complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router.Then, plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid on the modem you could plug in the power cable to the router & then try configuring the router & it will definately work!!!

  • AVAYA IP Phones unable to get an IP address from DHCP server.

    I installed new SRW208P switch and I mada an uplink connection with SRW 2024 switch (using GE port).
    when I am trying to connect AVAYA IP Phone to the SRW208P port, the set trying to get an IP address from the DHCP server and failed to get it.
    some times after 10 minutes, it get the IP address, but all the machines (PCs) connected to the same switch (SRW208P) hange.
    Note: the PCs an IP Phones are connected with separate UTP cables to the access switch.
    Is there any suggestions to solve this issue, please.
    Regards, 

    The issue is that your machine is not being assigned an IP address / was unable to reach the DHCP server to receive one. The 169.254.x.x IP your machine is showing isn't assigned from DHCP, it's assigned by the local machine and is referred to as an APIPA
    address.
    So something is preventing your machine from reaching your DHCP server, which could one of a number of things. In the first instance I'd suggest having a look at
    http://epan36.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/eventid-1001-dhcp-your-computer-was-not.html which lists several of things that could cause this error and things you can try in order to resolve it.
    If none of those work, can you confirm whether you have any other machines connecting via the same method on the network, which might indicate whether this is an issue at the machine end or somewhere between the machine and DHCP server?

  • FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA attributes from Parameter List: in

    Hi,
    I am pretty sure this is a webutil message. I am running 10g through OC4J, all was working well one minute then on startup of the form I get these 2 message 4 or 5 times:-
    FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA attributes from Parameter List: invalid list ID.
    followed by:
    FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA_MULTIPART attributes from Parameter List: invalid list ID.
    These 2 message are repeated 4 or 5 times then things appear to run fine, I can open and read files, transfer them etc. The only thing I can think I have done differently is add a bean to a data block but when I remove the bean and restart the OC4J I still get the messages.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed,
    I dropped the WEBUTIL object group then added it again by adding the object library then subclassing it to the object group. The error messages are gone.
    Cheers

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • I have an iPad 2.  I cannot get it to print from our Hp photosmart 6525 printer.  Both Hp and apple say these machines can use AirPrint.  Can anyone help

    I have an iPad 2 and cannot get it to print from our p photosmart 6525 printer.  Does anyone know how to get the AirPrint to work between these two machines?

    Hi,
    As soon as the devices connected to your network the printer should appear as AirPrint.
    You may ensure it is connected by clicking the wireless icon on the printer screen to locate its IP, then type the IP into Safari and check if you can access the printer homepage from your iPad.
    If the printer conncted but still not being detected as AirPrint, ensure you have the latest firmware for your printer:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03312867&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5271613&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    If the printer still not being dedected I would rather suspect the network as AirPrint uses Apple Bonjour and therefore require your network to support multicasting to operate..
    You may test it by temporary setting direct connection using Wireless Direct, if the printer being detected without using the router please clarify your router brand and model to better understand your router capabiities.
    The steps to enable Wireless Direct can be found listed below:

  • WRT54G2 V1 Fails to get WAN DHCP address

    Hi All,
    I have a new WRT54G2 V1 that works fine, with the exception it will not pickup a DHCP address from the cable modem.  I have gone through the standard steps assuring the modems, cables and computers work on other setups and have no issues there.
    The wireless and hub portions of the G2 work as usual. I flashed the firmware to the latest FW_WRT54G2V1_1.0.04.005_US and there is no change in operation, also the G2 responds correctly to a full reset to factory settings.
    On the router's reboot the WAN light comes on briefly (assume self-test), but remains off after the router is fully booted.
    Have I forgotten something obvious, or is this an out-of-the-box failure ?
    Cheers, 

    Once more step which you can try is, connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN Port 1 and the other end of that cable to the Internet Port of the Router and then check if the WAN light on your Router lids or not...
    If it still doesn't lid, then i think it might be the problem with the Router itself, and you need to replace your Router.
