Connecting to dsl

I have a linksys WRT54G I switched from Comcast to ATT dsl this week and my router will not recognise my modem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times to no avail. I was told by an online rep that ATT does not support Linksys and that for a fee Someone could tell me how to reconfigure manually. I've tried using the web based page but when I try and connect through the router I lose my internet connection. Any advice?

If you are trying to configure your Router using the setup disk, you can exit from the setup and configure all the settings on your Router Manually.
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link

Connecting SBC dsl to ethernet hub?

G4 I've just upgraded to high speed DSL from SBC and have a new 2 wire 1701HG gateway modem, which I want to use to connect my old G4 desk top by wire and use my powerbook G4 by the wireless capability of the modem. The problem is that I've always connected my computer and modem to a Macnally ethernet hub and I'm told by SBC that I have to connect the ethernet cable directly to the G4. However if I do this I won't be able to use my old hp printer that can only be used via the connection through the ethernet hub. (The old G4 has one ethernet port). SBC isn't helpful at all with any other configuration. Any suggestions?
G4

Frank thanks for the link to the 2 Wire site and for the diagram. I must admit to knowing little about this equipment. For five years I've used dsl from SBC with a different modem and connected the ethernet cord from the modem to the an ethernet hub and it worked fine. According to SBC I can't do that now but I haven't tired. Yesterday, while on the phone to the SBC technical support I followed their directions and wasn't able to connect the DSL line even connecting everything directly to the computer. Maybe the line wasn't ready. I will try again tomorrow. According to your diagram I would need a router to go through before the hub. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a new supply of patience and I'll find the way that works... Regards

Connecting to DSL via Ethernet Modem

I have been trying to connect to DSL Internet using Speed Touch Ethernet Modem. I have reached the point where my Network Preference shows that I am connected via Ethernet with green light showing. However I am unable to connect to the web and the DSL light on the modem will not come on. My ISP has limited knowledge of Macs and are not very helpful. Grateful for any assistance.

Trevor,
This type of thing is what sorts the good ISPs from the not so good. It should be their task to determine what is wrong with the line - ie. they are the ones that should keep going back to the telco and asking for more in depth tests. (There are a number of different reasons why a line may not be suitable for DSL)
I do reiterate however that you need to be certain that nothing in your house is causing a problem. So try unplugging every other device (telephone, fax, computer, filter, burglar alarm, cable receiver) that may possibly be connected to your phone line and plug the modem directly into the phone socket closest to where the connection from the street enters the house and see what status you get.

My mac wifi connection to DSL line was down when I tried to upgrade Ipad to IOS6, and it defaulted to Ipad data line and consumed my monthly allotment of data -- How can that happen as a technical matter?

Maps did not work for me for the first week after upgrading to IOS6 on my New Ipad -- I have since learned that I exceeded my 2 gig monthly data plan and therefore I had no 4G access on my ipad, which meant Maps couldn't work while traveling. Since I never download videos, I knew I had not knowingly downloaded that much data. When I called AT&T, they told me that when I upgraded to IOS6 I consumed over 1 gig of data.
I did the upgrade while connected to my iMac, which in turn has a wireless connection to router connected to my home DSL line.   My wifi service has been spotty lately, possibly because router is defective. So let's assume that when I tried to download IOS6 that my iMac did not have a good wifi connection. Is the AT&T person correct that the download defaults to the Ipad's 4G cellular network, even though the iPad is connected to the iMac by USB cable? I didn't think that was possible as a technical matter -- i.e., that the iMac gets automatic access to the iPad's connection to the cellular network. (I'm sure I'm not explaining this right, I'm obviously not technical.)
Also, do you get any obvious warning or indicator on the device that you have exceeded your data limit for the month? I sure didn't see any warning, (although I now know that I can go to Settings, then Cellular Data, then View Account and find the status of my data line account).
Thanks for any help on this.

Strange. It works fine with my setup which is no different from yours. Problem with the cable or LAN port(s)?

Airport Dual Ethernet connecting to DSL.

My normal system is a Windows XP PC connected to 2wire dsl router from SBC. My wife has an iBook(the white one)that we are trying to get connected to the internet using an Airport Dual ethernet. THe iBook has a wireless card installed and before I moved all I did was plug the airport into the DSL router and all was well. Now what is happening is that as soon as I plug the airport into the router it I lose my PC internet connection, even more frustrating is that I still can't access the interent via the iBook.
I am totally unfamiliar with the Mac OS so this just adds to my frustration. Are there any resources/guidance/books that would help a new wireless Mac user on configuring the airport to connect to the same router as a windows PC without screwing it all up?
Any help would be awesome.

Hello, I'm new to Mac's as well, but I hope I can help narrow down the source of the problem a little.
You said "and before I moved all I did was". I take that to mean you moved from one home to another. Does that mean that you also have a new DSL service provider (which means they provided you with the DSL router you are using. A couple things to try to semi isolate the problem, or at least try to narrow it down to one device having issues.
Try to connect to the internet with each computer individually using the DSL router, one at a time. Do they both work that way?
Try connecting the airport only, then connecting to the internet with each computer individually (the other should be powered down so it doesn't try to connect when wireless becomes available {hopefully}). Do they work this way?
If they work, or one does but not the other you have provided yourself wirh a wealth of information to offer the experts (no that's not me), I'm afraid I won't be much help beyond this. The reason for this method is that you may discover that something has happened to your system(s) (hopefully not) during your move(?), or your service provider (new) may have provided you with a faulty router (just a couple of possibilities).
Another thing, have you installed any new software, or updates recently, like just before the connection stopped working.
Hope this helps.

E3200 - Can't connect to DSL

Purchased this to replace a WRT54GL Linksys that is starting to act flaky. I needed it right away, or else I would have bought it from Amazon instead of a local wallyworld last night at 10:00PM. The interface is simple and not confusing. It was easy to hook up and get into the menus on my desktop, but was unable to connect to my local DSL through their modem. The online support person manually registered the MAC address with their server, but this router would not grab an IP address from their server. My local DSL uses automatic DHCP and not PPPoE, so that could be the problem. I am guessing that this unit is a new model and needs a firmware upgrade to fix the issue. I spent an hour with my DSL service tech, and about an hour with a Cisco online tech that had me doing things that did not pertain to the actual problem. Be careful. I am going to keep looking. I don't think there is a perfect wireless router out there. By the way, I did notice that my 54G wireless devices were receiving a weaker signal with this router than my old WRT54GL. I was wondering how the wireless would work with out any external antennae. This unit is going back to the local store. My replacement WILL be from Amazon as I will wait for whatever I decide. Have to do some more research.

UPDATE:
I did a hard reset of the E3200, installed it using Cisco Connect instead of manually, and the unit worked for about 12 hours and would not renew the IP address again from my DSL. Everything looked good on their end and the modem showed being connected. I hooked my WRT54GL up again instead of the E3200 and the WRT54GL connected instantly. Cisco Connect was unable to access the E3200 again on my desktop computer using a Cat 5E cable. I was hopeful that it was going to work, even though the wireless did drop connection with a wireless laptop during the day and I had to reselect the device again. Never had that problem with the WRT54GL. Any help would be appreciated.

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"

Can't connect to DSL broadband

I've just got myself a Macbook and I can't seem to set it up for my broadband connection. I'm using Homechoice broadband (UK). I assume it is DSL. I was told by the Homechoice support that my Macbook should be able to auto detect the broadband box and hence connect me to the Internet. But it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for any advice.

A couple of things to check. First, check that the dsl connection is indeed up and running - here in the states we have to go through a procedure when we first set-up dsl modems (this includes using filters on our regular phones). Find out what the modem/router's address is. It is usually something like 192.168.1.1 (or something 192.168.x.x). Type this into your address bar of Safari while your macbook is connected to modem via ethernet and see if your modem's internal intranet page comes up. If it does then it's not a problem with the connection between your macbook and modem but a set-up problem with your dsl. Secondly, when I had dsl in Italy I remember that I had to click on an application before connecting online - don't know if that's true in the u.k.

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!

Problem connecting to DSL modem

Just finished a long session with QWest that ended with me unable to connect to my new DSL modem. Apparently there's a problem with the IP configuration settings because everything works but the computer can't find/recognize/connect with the modem. The address, subnet, router, DNS numbers QWest provided don't work. They said I had to call Apple and verify the IP configuration. But Apple doesn't answer on weekends. Is there a way to resolve this now, or do I have to wait until Monday?

yumbeerium...
Got the right cable?
This is assuming that you are connecting it via - Ethernet port, you may need a Crossover cable if the modem did not come with one.
By the way... I wonder just how Apple can help you with settings that are to be provided by the ISP? Although I believe most ISPs can use DHCP settings, you may need to ask QWest if manual settings are really necessary.

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!
Go to Solution.

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)...
Helium2 wrote:
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.

Auto-connect to DSL

Is there anyway to connect to my DSL service without having to manually click "Connect" in the pull-down menu? (The <-> icon on the menu bar). I'd like my iBook to auto-connect (the way it does with Airport) when I turn it on. (Yes, I DO NEED to use the wired DSL in this location.)
I await your advice.
iBook G4, 1.42 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 GB RAM

Open System Preferences>Network and click on

button. Check mark the "Connect automatically when
needed. Now it should connect when you launch a
browser or email.

Unable to connect to DSL wireless, could you walk me through?

Hi all,
I can connect wirelessly with
all public high speed wireless and my home wireless cable modem but at my sisters office they use DSL (yuck) and neither my MBP nor iPhone can connect, it just tries to load the browser forever.
Thanks a lot
bye

Hello Sig,
When I enter the password it seems to connect me as it states I am
connected. When I launch Safari it just sits blank attempting to load.
I even pinged the router and sent and received back 10 packets. Everything points to being coonected but in actuality I'm not because I cannot go online.
I can connect wirelessly anywhere else fine.
Thanks for responding and giving it a go for me.

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.
