Changed Modem and WRT54GL quits passing Internet

I have a WRT54GL fed by a Motorola 5101 cable modem which has worked fine for years. Today I replaced the 5101 with a neew modem furnished by Charter with DOCIS 3.0 capability which resulted in loss of internet connection. The modem works when connected directly to the computer and the router also functions as before except the two don't play well together. I dont know if there is an issue with DOCSIS 3.0 and the WRT54 or what. The firmware in the router is very old - something in 2006 so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any recommendations or suggestions are sought. Thanks

Hi greywing, if the setup is working now, you may put off doing the firmware update and the hard reset to later. You may do it when you encounter a problem with the connection again. It's still best to clone the Mac Address clone though. It should be the Mac address of your main router that should be cloned. As to the backup thing, it saves all the settings that you have done on the router's page.
With regard to the Mac address under the Status tab, they are automatically detected and what you are seeing is the Mac address of your router. It's not the Mac address of your PC.
Let me know if you got confused with my answer

Netgear Modem and WRT54GL Router

Hi all,
I have a wired network using a Netgear Modem and have recently decided to implement a wireless hotspot for users to connect via their wireless laptops etc.
Because of the DHCP facility in the WRT54GL router (allocating ip addresses automatically etc.), I was recommended to this route.
What I'm sitting with is that the Netgear Modem's default IP address is 192.168.0.1 and all my wired desktops are setup using IP addresses following on from that (e.g. 192.168.0.100 / 192.168.0.101 etc etc.)
The Linksys's default IP address is 192.168.1.1
I've managed to change that to 192.168.0.2 so that it can be seen on the same network, but now:-
1.) How do I access the router's adminstrative settings (previously it was : IE Browser > typing in 192.168.1.1 and inserting my username and password and I was in). When I go to IE Browser > typing in 192.168.0.2 it says it cannot "display the page" and no matter what I do, I cannot get to access it. I can ping the 192.168.0.2 address and replies so it is connected etc. Any suggestions?
Also, I've installed a 2nd PCI card in my server (that controls the internet access to the desktops etc.) and shared the internet connection from LAN1 (onboard motherboard network port). I've connected the Linksys WRT54GL Router via a cable from the LAN2 port to Port1 on the Linksys. Linksys DHCP setting is disabled as well. What should happen is that when a wireless laptop connects to the internet, the DHCP should allocate an IP address to the laptop and should be able to have access to the internet.
2.) On the wireless laptop, when searching for a wireless connection, I can see the Linksys Router and can connect. I have connection as Skype connects perfectly but yet, I cannot access the Internet. When typing in a website address, it comes up saying "Unable to Display Page". If I type in http://216.239.51.100 I get the google home page but if I type in the web address, nothing !! I have been told that it could be a DNS problem but no one can tell me how to fix it. Any suggestions?
Can anybody out there shed some light on these 2 issues?
Thank you
Heinz

Is it possible to use the iPhone as a modem and pick up the internet ?

I wondered if it was possible to use the airport facility on an iMac G5 to pick up the internet from an iPhone placed near by ? THis would effectively make the iPhone a wireless modem ?
I've not got an iPhone yet and this would be really useful.
Thanks in advance.

The iPhone does not currently support tethering. There was an app that did that, but it was pulled from the App Store after only a few hours of availability, and all such apps have apparently been banned.

Hi,I am unsure if I have a safari or modem problem. It only happens when I use my macbook pro, my HP windows is fine. Internet crashes on modem and then a message that safari is not connected. I don't know where to start sorry I am not technical at all.

Hi there, my internet is crashing everytime I use my macbook pro/safari it happens roughly every 2 mins, it can happen on any website.
I am not technical at all and I am at a total loss of where to start with this. I did a bit of research on the internet but no luck in finding any
help.
Basically I am not sure if it is a modem of safari problem. I have no problems when using my HP on without windows explorer on the internet.
I am working wireless ADSL 2 - Bigpond - 2 Wire 2701 HGV-W and a macbook pro purchased around 5 months ago. Since the purchase date
I have had problems with internet.
Safari brings up a page you are not connected to the internet. I then look at the modem and DSL and internet lights are both flickering and or/off.
They then re-set themselves. I then have to re-set preferences on safari and quit and restart.
I have also tried using with cable into mac and modem and no difference.
I can only figure that maybe Safari is not compatible with the modem? could this be the case?
Thanks for reading and any assistance would be appreciated.

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

Before every time I use to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore and instead is an automatically website calle Only Search. I went to Safari preference I change everything and when I quit Safari all the changes are gone.

Every time I used to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore , instead it open in a website called Only Search, I went to safari preferences and made all changes but after I quit Safari and open again all changes are gone. I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

Problems in Internet access in the middle being a modem and Linksys RV016

Good afternoon, I have another problem with Cisco Linksys RV016 Router, the router used to connect to ADSL Internet 3 links which these in turn give direct service to a server right now each of them, the idea is to connect the 3 modems LAN router and connect the server, this is no problem so far. The point is that here at my work people access to Remote Access Servers for Windows and VNC TightVNC or my servers with Linux (ask why not login at TeamViewer or LogMeIn, but it is another matter), the idea is to leave as they are, that everything is apparent and improve systems with load balancing (Router). The modem has ports open for remote access the 3389, are accessed without nigun problem, but when connecting the router and can not, I opened the same ports in Router and name and works.
Servers handle the no-ip.org for access and name resolution on DNS and so with that name assigned by the no-ip is where remote access from the Internet.
I do not know if you understand, but I hope someone help me with this.
In advance thank you very much and greetings.

Look, the first phase of my work to be done is to try a single server and it has Windows Server 2008, you explain:
1. This ADSL modem connected directly to a single server (Windows).
2. It is accessed without any problem by remotely from another network and / or from the Internet via remote access.
3. The modem has port 3389 open to allow remote access from another network or Internet (up to here is my current scheme and there is no problem).
4. Connect between the modem and Linksys RV016 router server.
5. I open the same ports with the modem for remote access.
6. If I have Internet server.
7. Remote access is not working.
As time??? something can be done to solve this problem. The server as you mentioned earlier is running as a service no-ip.org for publication DNS name and not have to be constantly changing the IP by automatic changes made by the supplier (eg server name and for which so is taken from the internet: servidorwin.no-ip-org).
See if you explain me better.
Thanks in advance and greetings.

The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook. plus more!!!!

We just migrated our 2010 exchange running off a sbs to exchange 2013 running on server 2012 standard. The issues we are having is if you shutdown the old sbs server mail flow stops completly. The other issues is that clients using outlook 2013 get the
popup message "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook." We have remade their profiles on the local computer, uninstsalled Office and reinstalled it... tried almost everything. The exchagne
server is on CU5 and no changes have been made in the last two months.

... if you shutdown the old sbs server mail flow stops completely.
If the inbound flow is affected, check the firewall (or antispam/andivirus device/server) configuration. Most probably, it is still forwarding the inbound email to the SBS.
In case the outbound email stops, check the Internet Send connectors. It's quite possible that you don't have an Internet Send connector with the Exchange 2013 specified as a source server. If this is not the case, check again the firewall - it might be
blocking outbound traffic on port 25 from the Exchange 2013 internal IP address.
... clients using outlook 2013 get the popup message "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook."
Are the clients fully updated, or at least, running

How to change bill to and payer for an internet order

Hello Gurus,
I have an issue. I am trying to change the bill to and payer assigned to Internet order through the partner determination procedure.
The scenario is when we create an internet order on the basis of sold to payer and bill to are selected. But the user has option to change the bill to and payer if there are many other maintained before saving the order.
to do that i am calling the crm_order_maintain function module. I am preparing the partner tables and input fields
In the input fields i am passing display type , kind_of_entry, no_type ,partner_no, partner_fct and relation partner.
Apart from these fields I am passing the reference guid, ref_kind and objectname.
t_field_names-ref_guid    = '4BB334EA8B0C24B6E10000000A02B02D'."wa_extension-ref_guid.
t_field_names-ref_kind    = 'A'.
t_field_names-objectname = 'PARTNER'.
t_field_names-logical_key = '0000000000031000000060      BPBP'.
INSERT t_field_names INTO TABLE t_input_fields.
With this I am not able to save the order with new bill to and payer. Am I missing something ?
Regards
Sohit

Hi Sohit,
I've the same requirement of picking one of the Bill-To from the dropdown on viewOrder.jsp
Well for maintaining the Ship-To SAP has given a a standard Action class : MaintainShipToAction.
and the method in the SalesDocument class to add new ShipTo but nothing for billTo.
I'm looking for a different approach to handle this problem, incase you find any solution then please share it with us.
Best regards

I've just changed my modem, and I can't find my time capsule

I've just changed my bigpond modem, and have joined all my other hardware to the new modem (Apple TV, iphones, iMac etc), but now my time machine can't locate my time capsule which was used as a back up. it just doesn't appear in Airport Utilities. Have rebooted everything, and the internet connection is fine, but that **** amber light won't stop blinking.

I'll guess that "bigpond" unit is either a router or a combination modem and router. You can probably get AirPort Utility to "see" the Time Capsule if you connect your Mac to it with an Ethernet cable. Then you can see why the Time Capsule isn't happy. If the two devices are too far apart to make a cable feasible, then do a "factory default reset" of the Time Capsule and reconfigure it.

The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

At random points throughout my laptop usage, I randomly disconnect from the internet and receive these 2 messages:
1. The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.
2. The default gateway is not available.
It fixes the issue for a short period of time, but constantly happens. This is really starting to annoy me. I have no problems on any other internet, and other people i live with are connected with no issues to the internet. I have tried a number of solutions
online that has "worked" for others to no success such as resetting the router, fooling around with command prompt, and changing the performance settings to not drop internet when low on power. Does anyone have a solution for my technical problems?
I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo ideapad that is less than a year old. I will be honest I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to computers, so please use simplified explanations.

Checked this ?

I just changed ISP and now I cannot get internet via my Time Machine

I just switched from DSL to cable internet. Now I cannot access my existing wifi network, and am having connectivity issues with the internet via wifi AND ethernet when I use my Time Machine as my router. By bypassing the router, the internet works fine. My IP address starts with 169 when I have the modem and Time Machine paired together, so there's some sort of miscommunication, I'm sure. I want my wireless network back! FRUSTRATING!!

Open time machine and shut it off.
Chances are you will still be receiving the emails, meaning that it is a spam type of malware that may have changed your mail settings and only appears to be from the time machine.
Open your mail program preferences and set to delete from server after being read, if that is possible with your mail program.
Sometimes it is not best to forward all the seemingly harmless and funny emails that come your way.
After all, that is what the kids writing viruses are counting on.
Perhaps a free antivirus program such as Sophos may help you out.

USB modem and Internet Sharing causes system to hang.

First my setup. I have a Mac mini (early 2009) running 10.7.2 connected to the Internet using a Sony Ericsson W910 as a USB modem. I am using Internet sharing via Ethernet to a 1st generation (n) AirPort Extreme to give Wi-Fi to other devices (iPhone, Xbox 360, PS3 etc).
Now the problem: When Internet Sharing is on regardless of what interfaces are used (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth PAN etc) eventually—that word is key—my system will hang. Internet will be unavailable to every device and my Mac itself (but they will still be connected to Wi-Fi) and any app that is running willbeachball. Any app I launch—or try to—will also beachball. I've tried leaving it to see if it will resolve itself —even overnight—but it always requires a hard reset.
The eventually part. I haven't figured out what causes this but I have an idea which I'll explain later. The times this happens is totally random. It has gone days with no problems and other times has happened minutes apart. Usually it's about every 12-24 hours.
It's definitely Internet Sharing which is causing this because when I turn it off I don't have any problems. I've tried every configuration. Only sharing via my mini's Wi-Fi or Ethernet, leaving the AirPort out etc. As soon as I turn on Internet Sharing I've started a countdown to a hang.
On inspecting the Console the last messages before a hang without fail are always:
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 80 AppleUSBCDCECMData: getOutputBuffer - Output buffer pool empty
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 66 AppleUSBCDCECMData: USBTransmitPacket - Output buffer unavailable
12/12/2011 06:58:58.312 com.apple.usbmuxd: _handle_timer Fish out of water!!!
Repeated hundreds of times. Quick Googling indicates that AppleUSBCDCECMData is a USB driver. Apparently I have version 4.1.15 which appears to be the latest.
I'm aware this is a rare configuration but I believe it affects every USB not just this particular phone.
Is anybody else experiencing this or knows a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect.

My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet via wifi but it worked fine on ethernet cord...I tried running diagnostic but it didn't work:(((( it happen every time if I restart the modem and/or router

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
