Cannot make connection to DSL modem

I have a Westell 2100 DSL modem that works with my original computer (Dell XPS Gen5)
I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop that I am trying to set up to connect to the Internet through this same mode.
I get "Limited or no connectivity. No network address assigned" errors when I try to set up the connection using my DSL installation CD.
The integrated NIC works fine, the Ethernet cable is good, & the laptop had no trouble connecting to a LAN a couple of weeks ago.
Device manager shows no problems.
XP SP3
I spent 30 minutes with Verizon support yesterday with no resolution. The best the guy could come up with is that I "might" need to get a router and connect it to the modem and then connect both computers to the router.
What's going on?
Is a router the best solution?
I don't want to spend money on one just to find out that it doesn't work as intended.
Solved!

I do not know about your modem. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22390129-modemrouter-Wesell-2100-supports-DHCP-wo-bridge-mode
It may be dumb modem (does not do NAT) or if it is, it is a modem combo that in bridge mode.

So I have to wait for the IP addy to expire before I can do a new connect?
That would be correct with all networking equipment turned off (including the computer). This unless you know how to spoof/clone the MAC Address on your version Windows (Which most people do not know how to do)...

I've found a cheap Linksys wired router and should have it by Wednesday.
While your modem maybe a modem combo in bridge mode, good.
Since most Linksys routers have four LAN ports - this way, you can have more than one computer at the same time without needing to use ICS or installing a proxy server/configuring the proxy server so that only users from the inside can connect to this proxy, and configuring any clients to use the proxy server..
Helium2 wrote:
Once the router is set up I just need to run the Verizon install CD, correct?
I do not know but I would think: You do not need to unless you want to install their software and you want it to configure your client(s) for you. This means your e-mail client, news client, web client (more commonly known as a web browser).
If you do not want it to configure any client for you, here is the path to what you need to know.
http://start.verizon.net/ -> Support -> E-mail -> Setup and Use -> Email settings.

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server

"An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server".
As of today this is all i get when trying to connect to every single ftp account i have. It's not the server cause it's every one and there is several different. Tried passive and non-passive same result. I've connected fine with other FTP clients. So this must be another dreamweaver bug. Anyone know what to do?

Very hard to diagnose these problems, particularly as you can connect using a 3rd party program.
See if the 'timeout' issue could be at play here:

This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

HELLO.
The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
"This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.

An ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host DW CS4

OK... I just recently installed Dreamweaver CS4. I am trying to connect to a clients site and I keep on getting the following error:
an ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host. the remote host cannot be found
A couple of days when I was in DW CS3, I never had this problem, apparantly others have also had this problem however all the help that I have seen is for PC.
When I entered all of my info, I then proceeded several times to 'Test' , I have been able to connect succesfully but when I try to connect to remote host, I get that error message.
Please help!!!!
I am using Mac OS X Version 10.5.8

Hi,
In the remote info tab, Access-> FTP, click on Server Compatibility button.
Uncheck FTP Perfomance Optimization.
Try to re-connect to your web server.
OR
In the FTP field, you don't have to type the protocol (ftp://....)
Martin

One of my sites still connects but the other gets An ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host.

My problem is in “connect to remote server”. I manage two sites in Dreamweaver CS6, and they are hosted by the same guys. One site still connects fine but the other one has stopped connecting. With the second site when I click on the button I get a delay then "An ftp error occurred -- cannot make connection to host".
However I can still access the second site’s remote server through an FTP program, and the Host tech support confirms my login is working fine from his computer.
I tried doing this old trick (1) Site > Manage Sites > Export to create a .ste file (2) quite, restart (3) Manage Sites > Import the .ste file (4) click on connect to remote server -- But that made no difference

Just because both sites are hosted by the same firm doesn't mean they are on the same physical server. Your problem connecting could be attributable to many things.
User name and password may have changed or been reset.
Server permissions problems (GoDaddy is notorious for this).
IP blocking.
Server is down.
etc...
Are you able to connect with a 3rd party FTP client like FileZilla? If not, I'm guessing this is a server problem & you need to contact your host.

Ftp error - cannot make connection

Using Dreamweaver CS3 on Microsoft XP. When I try and set up
ftp for our web site in Site Manager, to allow files to be checked
in and out, it does not work. The error message is "An FTP error
occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password
is incorrect." It is possible to create an ftp connection to the
same site in Dreamweaver using the other option in Site Manager,
"Connect to an FTP server without defining a site ". The only
diffrence I can see in the configuration is that the screen for
this option includes the field "URL Prefix". Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I think the thing has got sorted. I tried putting in the
Control panel password, which didn't work, and when I tried it
again with the ftp password it did. No rational explanation. Thank
you.

FTP Error - cannot make connection to host.

Hello! Have been searching through the forums and have seen
some topics that are similar to the problem I am facing but have
not found one to solve it yet. I connect to mulitple FTP servers
through Dreamweaver to upload and manage sites. As of late I will
will try and connect to make updates and I keep on getting this
error maessage....
An FTP Error occurres - cannot make connection to host.
It has happened on multiple servers from various providers. I
am convinced that it is a Dreamweaver issue or a connection issue
on my system. Any thoughts, help, or ideas to fix the problem would
be greatly appreciated.
I have tried most of the things out there on the boards but
nothing has worked for me. The odd thing is that earlier today I
was uploading through FTP on one of my sites and now that one won't
work. Another site has been giving me hassle for days. Please any
help would be much appreciated! I thank you for any time spent
ahead of time answering this post! Blessings!

Sorry it took so long to paste this in. It took this long for
me to find it! k

Dreamweaver - FTP error occurred - cannot make connection

Hello I am trying to update a site and I am getting an error:
FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host.
I absolutely did change any kind of FTP settings in the last 3 months.
Everything has been working fine up until now.
Justhost is who I use, I talked to there tech support they said they checked on there side and are able to connect and everything is working there, they are telling me it has something to do with dreamweaver.
The only thing new is a I did an update earlier to adobe creative cloud - I don't think that would be the problem though.
If anyone can please please help me or point in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hello,
it's well known, that In all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

FTP Error Occurred - Cannot make connection

I've been receiving this message:
"An ftp error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your
login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection
information."
when trying to set-up and download active websites originally
built in FrontPage. Do Dreamweaver & FrontPage not play well
with each other? Why would that affect my being able to connect to
my websites via Dreamweaver? I have double and triple checked the
logins and passwords. They are correct. Also, I have no problem
setting up and uploading a new site.
Remote Info Site Definition Settings:
Access: FTP
FTP host: www.mywebsite.com
Host directory: blank
Login: my login
Password: my password
I've:
tried with passive FTP checked and unchecked
tried with Secure FTP checked and unchecked
Unchecked FTP performance Optimization in Server

Thanks to anyone who can help :)

No. My sites that I created originally in Dreamweaver work
and connect fine. I've compared the settings and I have them set
the same. It's driving me nuts, to say the least!!

DW CS4 "cannot make connection to host" (since upgrade to CS4 from CS3)

Recently updated from CS3 to CS4. (I had previously upgraded to OS 10.5, and everything was fine in CS3 under 10.5.)
Everything looked OK in CS4 (I saw files in DW, but I did not try to connect to any hosts) so I wiped CS3.
Later I noticed that the login and password for hosts had all been erased.
When I put them in, they stay.
BUT every single remote host gives me:
"cannot make connection to host"
Logging in using a numerical IP address instead of domain name does not help.
Logging in with an FTP client (e.g. Fetch) works, though.
Can anyone help me with this...??
Mac under OS 10.5.7

Wow. This is really painful. Has anyone tried to use Adobe technical/customer support lately?! Bloody awful.
I am on hold on my fifth call, right now.
Four times I phoned in and had to explain everything all over again.
Three times a representative said they would "escalate" the issue (which apparently means "trash-heap" it), and then call me back.
Never did I get one call back.
Before calling in I tried for two weeks to puzzle this out on my own.
Now work is backing up and I STILL cannot use my copy of Dreamweaver.
WTF, Adobe??

Why Map Definition Tool says 'cannot make connection'?

Hi, i've tried the Map Definition Tool but i cannot connect to my database. It simply displays 'cannot make connection', which is not that helpful. Is it possible to enable a debug mode or otherwise make this tool more speaking?
I've downloadad this tool from OTN on 12/11/2002 so i think it's up-to-date.
Thanks in advance.
Markus

lj, in your reply to thread 'Map Definition Tool' (Dec 17, 2002 6:42 PM) you stated that JDK 1.3 or 1.2 is needed for the Map Definition Tool to run. I ran the Map Definition Tool with JDK 1.3.1_06 and now it connects to my database!
Unfortunately it bombs when i click one of the items in the tree view, for example 'Styles/Color' (see stack trace below).
Any ideas?

Can connect to DSL modem with ethernet but no go on Airport Extreme.

I've tried everything to get this working but I can't get it right. I just signed up with dslextreme.com (a AT&T reseller) after coming off AT&T. My 12" PB hooks up fine to the new D-link DSL-2320B modem via ethernet but the Airport Extreme doesn't seem to make a working connection to it.
Using Airport Utility 5.2.1 I've set this airport up multiple ways to no avail, even resetting it and trying to set it up from scratch. I can get it all apparently happy, with green lights all around but there is no tranfer activity on the DSL modem when I'm trying to access a webpage.
Been told by dslextreme's customer support that the connection type is DCHP, not PPPoE per their own support page help that only covers the older Base Station.
Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!
cheers

I don't have the answer, but I am experiencing the EXACT same problem (just different service provider). I had a cable modem, worked without a hitch. Switched to DSL because the service is better where I live, and I can't get the AirPort router to actually give me internet. Help!

RV110w wont connect with dsl modem for VPN

Hello,
I have bought a RV110w router and I also have a D-Link 320B DSL modem (which is replacing my standard Sky broadband router/modem) and I am having problems getting them set up correctly, firstly for the internet to work and secondly to use the VPN function on the router.
The D-Link 320B DSL modem works when connected directly into my laptop via an ethernet connection, however when I connect the modem into the RV110w the internet will not work. The dashboard on the RV110w says that the internet is "up" and gives an IP address but the internet does not work on any computer on the network. Any help here would be hugely appreciated!
After I have overcome the problem above I then want to be able to get the VPN working which I have also had no luck with.
The RV110w is set to 192.168.1.250 and the D-Link is set to 192.168.1.1. If I turn off DHCP on the D-Link I cannot then get access to the modem at all, the only way I can then get access is to hold down reset and go back to factory settings.
I have been trying to do this for about two weeks now with no luck, no matter what settings I try it just does not seem to work!!
Matt.

Dear Matthew,
Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
In order to accomplish both needs, you would first need to configure the PPPoE and DHCP settings on the RV110 and set the D-Link for bridge mode only so that the xDSL negotiation is performed by the Cisco router and be the DHCP server for the LAN at the same time.
You need to first configure the PPPoE parameters on the RV110; please refer to page 23, chapter 2 of the admin guide;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv110w/administration/guide/rv110w_admin.pdf
The required PPPoE settings are provided by your ISP and you may also copy those current settings from the D-Link modem (unfortunately I cannot tell you where they are since I am not familiar with the 320B model). You also need to set the D-Link for bridge mode since the PPPoE settings are now going to be entered on the RV110.
To set the RV110 as a DHCP server please refer to page 31, chapter 2 on the same admin guide.
You can have either a remote access VPN or a site to site VPN configured on this RV110, please check chapter 5 on admin guide. Notice for either one you would need to have static public IP addresses or a domain name provided by your ISP intended for a VPN tunnel, and in case they do provide you with neither one, then you would have to get a third party dynamic DNS service to accomplish this task. I have personally used DynDNS and it works just fine.
I hope you find this information useful and please do not hesitate to reach me back if there is any further assistance I may help you with.
Kind regards,
