Connect to a DSL router

i installed my airport extreme card a few days ago. i wasn't able to connect and then all of a sudden i could. i thought i had to put in the isp to go through the DSL router in another room. it seems like if i shut down my computer then i have a connection. do i have to set up my emac to go through that, or does that card simply pick up the closest signal automatically? is their anyway that i can improve the chances of being connected, instead of having to shut down my computer and start it back up to get connected?

There are a couple of things to bear in mind here.
You have Airport Setup Assistant that will allow you to set up your machine to setup and recognize your network.
Airport technology is designed to recognise any wireless network if your machine is in range.
If, however you just installed a new Airport Extreme Card, many times you need to restart your computer or your modem or your wireless router to be able to use your wireless network. This is known as a system reset. It is also what must be done when you loose your connection.
Remember to name your Network and you can go up to your Airport Signal at the very top, it will be the icon just to the right of the help in the menu bar.Single click it and it will show you any Network you are in range to pick up,and the name of that Network.
Hope this helps. Don

Can the time capsule works without WLAN cable connected to my DSL router?

Cna the Time capsule work without WLAN cable connection to DSL router?

WLAN is usually used for wireless LAN .. plainly you mean WAN port ..
How do you expect to get internet if the TC is not connected to the internet?
The TC can work stand alone.. true enough but that will then involve considerable issues in setting up two different IP addressing regimes .. you can just bridge the TC and use it as WAP and switch plus hdd without having to route.

SQL Plus cannot connect (computers connected via DSL router)

Hi!
I have two computers connected locally via DSL router. One's IP is 192.168.1.64 and the other's IP is 192.168.1.65.
I try to connect to 192.168.1.64 via SQL plus from 192.168.1.66 by issuing the following command: sqlplus system@"192.168.1.64/orcl.168.1.100" and receive this error: "ORA-12170: TNS: Connect timeout occurred." I thought it was Windows default firewall that caused this and therefore changed windows' firewall settings in 192.168.1.64 by adding port 1521 into windows' firewall list. Now I receive this error: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener."

Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = curley)
Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larry
tns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Next, tns sends a request to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the request arrives at port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, you'll be connected.
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is the receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"

Airport Extreme Base Station as bridge for Westell DSL router

I have searched the forums & internet and for the life of me cannot get my network to work properly! I hope you can help.
Here is the situation (I rent so chances are we will not be moving hardware anywhere):
- Westell (Verizon) DSL wireless router downstairs connected to the internet, 1 iMac via ethernet, and 2 ibooks via Airport cards
- One lonely Powermac G4 upstairs that does not have a wireless card
- One extra Airport Extreme Base Station with firmware version 5.7 installed & connected via ethernet/LAN to the G4
I figured the "easy" thing to do would be to use the AEBS as a wireless bridge to get the G4 online. The network utility has occasionally thought that the G4 was connected to the internet, but the internet didn't work at all when it said that!
I have been configuring the AEBS using my wireless ibook (G3). I "unchecked" distribute IP addresses, and "checked" connect to network via WDS. I used the Westell's MAC address as the main WDS source. Under the "WDS" tab, I said to configure the AEBS as a remote station and the Westell router as the main station, and to allow wireless users to connect.
I have tried using the same Network name for each. WEP/WAP is NOT set up on either modem, so passwords aren't a problem. They are both set to channel 6. I am configuring the TCP/IP settings manually.
When the network names are the same, the internet either stops working, or the computers can't find the AEBS.
I don't understand why the AEBS seems unable to see the DSL network.

Hi,
Well, what I have been able to do is this:
I have a Westell Wireless DSL router, just like the one mentioned here, and just like the one mentioned in the article I made reference to, the one started by Mr. Müller.
As was mentioned in the Mr. Müller article, there are some possibilities that will work. They were submitted by a guy named Duane, from Texas. He gives three alternate possibilities, which he entitled "Solution #1, Solution #2, and Solution #3. He says all three of these alternatives will work, and in reading them over I came to the following conclusions: First, he really knows his stuff, and second, his proposed solutions would probably work.
Based on his comments I decided to take a risk yesterday - I put my older Mac Base Station in a drawer and invested in a new Airport Extreme.
Anyway, I digress...
What I've done is follow Solution #3. And it works! I now have a connection from my laptop to the Airport Extreme base station and the internet. I am typing this message using that connection. All I had to do was disable the wireless connection of the DSL router (using their software, of course), and connect the Airport Extreme, via the LAN Ethernet connector, to the Westel DSL router.
Now, all that remains for me is to extend the range of the base station, using an Airport Express. I haven't had any success with that yet, but I see no reason why I shouldn't get it to work eventually. If you can help me out with that, though, I'd sure appreciate it.
Best regards,

MX200 standalone behind a DSL router

I need to deploy a standalone MX200 (non registered) connected behind a DSL router and want to make calls via H323. What sort of configuration is needed for this to work ?
Will it be similar to an EX90 setup in the same way where we set the port allocation to static and setup the H323 nat address
Where are these configuration options to set on a MX200
Thanks
Ambi

HI Ambi,
Yes, the MX200 runs the same software as the EX90 you mentioned as well (TC software) - so the way it's configured is pretty much identical.
If you've got the EX90 working, duplicate similar settings on to your MX, open up the firewall ports, and you should be good.
There are plenty of threads in these forums that describe the ports required and the NAT configuration.

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

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.

RV180 behind DSL-ROUTER can't connect with QuickVPN

Hello,
I want to ask if is possible to configure the RV180 behind my DSL Router to connect using QuickVPN. First I tried to connect to the PPTP server and worked fine, but when I tried to connect using QickVPN, seems to connect but when the client says "verifying network" after a while appears the message "network not responding..."
In my DSL-Router forwared this ports: UDP: 500,4500,443,60443 - TCP: 443,60443 (i don't know if tcp ports are needed but I opened for testing) and allowed protocol ESP (comes with the rule to allow IPSEC-L2TP)
Thanks!

Hello Siva,
From where I have to test reachabilty? From the computer where I have installed the QuickVPN client I can reach de WAN interface of the DSL-Router, which is doing NAT and forwarding the ports I said to the WAN interface of my RV180. The network betwwen DSL and RV180 is using private ips.
The schema is:
Internet ---- (public ip) dsl router (192.168.1.1) ---- (192.168.1.50)RV180(10.0.0.1) ----- my network 10.0.0.0/24
In the document you posted is explained:
"Your Cisco router must have a direct public IP address for QuickVPN to work, please check under the status tab and your internet connection type and make sure it has a public IP address and it is not behind another router. This issue is more common with DSL connections; if you are behind another router/modem you should request your ISP to turn it into bridge mode so our router can be the border router between your LAN and your ISP."
It's my configuration. I will look how to turn my DSL router into a bridge. Thanks.

Easy VPN on 1710 cisco router connected to a DSL using dyndns

I have a 1710 cisco router connected to a DSL modem at home. Dynamic DNS or dyndns is implemented on it and everything works fine. In order words, I do not have a static IP address.
I would like to be able to configure vpn or Easy VPN on it so that I can connect with my laptop from outside using the cisco vpn client software.
Can someone please post a step by step sample vpn configuration? Something that does not conflict with my configuration. Below is my config. Thanks in advance.

How do I configure my time capsule to DHCP mode? I had to replace my DSL router, had a network set up before.

I recently had to replace my DSL router. My provider, Earthlink, walked me through the setup and I do have internet access if I connect directly to my Mac. When I tried to use my time capsule, it would not work. The Earthlink tech said I needed to reconfigure my time capsule to DHCP mode. I tried the set up manual and could not make sense of it. My 90 free service is long gone.

and the text in the router mode box came up DHCP and NAT, but the lettering was in a lighter shade than elsewhere and I could not open the drop down box.
You would have had to change some other settings on the AirPort to be able make changes in the drop down Router Mode box.
Your AirPort is already configured as Earthlink suggests.
Try powering off the entire network...all devices....in any order you want
Wait a few minutes
Start the Earthlink modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Start the Time Capsule and let it run a full minute
Keep starting other devices the same way until everything is powered back up
Check the network
If still no improvement, I think you need to let Earthlink know that you have done as they asked, and ask for more steps to try.
Hopefully, another Earthlink user will see this post and offer any special information or tips that only they would know.

Issues with vpn connection thru ATT DSL

Hi I hope someone can help me out...
At work we use Cysco VPN Client Verstion 4.8.02.0010
Everyone (about 18 people) can connect to it from their homes. For some reason I am the only member who can not connect.
I am tryihg to connect Via ATT DSL and Cysco VPN Client shows that I am connected, however,
I have no access to any of the networks from work.
I have tried connecting using Cox Cable from a friend's home and it connects just fine.
I have read many threads online that indicate that this is a common occurance with ATT DSL users but I have not found
the fix.
I am using modem/router type 2701 HG-B
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Make sure the encrytpion and parameters such as VPN group are negtotiated properly between the client and the server. Refer http://cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949c5.shtml for most commonly occuring VPN issues . Contact ATT for configuring their servers.

Cisco or Linksys DSL router that will work with Windows XP Pro?

Any suggestions for a CISCO or LINKSYS DSL router to replace a Zyxel (Century Link) PK5001Z? System is Windows XP Pro, 20 wireless and wired devices connected (including 6 CISCO WVC210 IP cameras ). The Zyxel forwards as many ports as I want, but will only open a limited number of the ports. This limits my access thru the internet (local network sees all cameras). Zyxel support is unable to help.

Hi Edward, if you're looking for a modem/router combo device, Cisco offers the SRP500 series. However this product is EOS/EOL. The small business product line does not have any other DSL termination router aside the SRP series. If your goal is to use a DSL modem and then have a router, you may want to consider RV325 router as it is very feature rich and quite robust.

Can't access my SPA2102 when connected to my BEFSR41 router

Hi All,
I have a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL router #BEFSR41 to which I have two computers, one printer, and one Linksys PAP2T-NA connected. I purchased a SPA2102-NA because I need two additional phone lines, but I had no more router ports. I was told that the SPA2102 could be connected to the router and my PAP2T could then connect to the LAN port of the SPA2102. Well I tried connecting the SPA2102 to my router and then connecting my PAP2T to it, but I am not able to access the configuration/setup menu for the SPA2102. How can I configure this SPA2102 when I can't even get to the setup menu?
Please help, I have spent the entire day searching the Linksys knowledgebase, etc. and I can't figure out what I need to do to access this unit. By the way, when I go into the router configuration menu and list the DHCP Active IP Table, the first item is SipuraSPA with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 (my PAP2T is 192.168.1.104). I have tried accessing the SPA2102 by typing 192.168.1.100 but I just get a browser error "Page not found". So the SPA2102 is showing up as connected to my router, but I have no way to connect to it because it has been given a dynamic IP address by the router. How can I solve this problem?
TIA

Thanks HW for your reply. After further consideration, I've decided that my best solution is to add an 8-port switch to increase my network capacity and therefore I can replace the SPA2102 with a simpler PAP2T, giving me two PAP2T's. I'm afraid I was looking at the SPA2102 as a stop-gap measure in providing an additional LAN port, but that would leave me without any spare LAN ports for the future. In the end, the small cost of an 8-port switch will give me future capacity and allow me to use the less costly PAP2T while gaining what I needed in the first place. Sorry for taking up your time.
Thanks.

Cannot connect printer (F4580) to router

Good evening,
I just bought my printer and I am having the hardest trouble connecting it to my router (Linksys WRT150N). When I try to set it up, I follow the instructions but the result is always the same! It says that the printer cannot connect to the router and it asks me if the SSID it correct, which it is! What can I do?

Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
What operating system?

Connecting wirelessly with a router

Hey all,
Got a question about wireless internet.
I have a Netgear router that is connected to my PC and Airport on this new Mac is picking up the signal broadcast by the router in order for me to connect to the Internet.
My question is: if I get rid of the PC, which I intend to do in the near future, will the router have to be connected to this Mac in order for me to connect to the net? Because I actually want to be able to connect wirelessly around my house without being tied down like the PC was. Furthermore, is it possible to just have the router plugged in but not connected to a computer as such and still broadcast the signal needed for me to connect to the net?
Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
No, you do not need to have any computer connected directly to your router. I assume that the router is also connected to a cable or DSL modem. This is all that is required to gain access to the internet; the modem establishes communication with your ISP's server, and the router gains a "public" IP address. The router then grants "private" IP addresses to every computer or device that connects locally within your network (regardless of whether that connection is "wired" via ethernet or wireless), and shares its single public IP address among the private addresses it manages. That's how routers work.
