question: Do i need to flash the router with dd-wrt?
Are there any step by step guides you can give for this
thnx

Hi again,
I believe the pix has a 3des license because of the following parts of the "show version"
Licensed Features:
Failover: Disabled
VPN-DES: Enabled
VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled
This PIX has a Restricted (R) license.
I've tried reconnecting the VPN tunnel with debugging on the PIX and get the output as shown in the attached file "vpndebug.txt"
As for the other show commands they give:
pixfirewall# show crypto isakmp sa
Total : 0
Embryonic : 0
dst src state pending created
pixfirewall# show crypto ipsec sa

Crypto map tag: transam, local addr. 10.0.0.1

  • First time Vpn help

    Ok I have many questions Many. First the place i work for has a WRV54g vpn router. I have found NOTHING on google to help me set up a vpn with it. any help please here on a walk through or anything. Ok next question when i fumble through and setup the vpn the way I think it should be. I go to add user groups and it forces me to change the ips to 10.183.147.1 What the heck this throws all the network computers hay wire and the print server they have i can not get working with this ip is there any way to keep it 192.168.1.1. Finally what ports or security things do i need to turn off or on to connect into the remote computers router. Also i am useing cisco vpn client. PLEASE HELP

    You really have two options here.
    Your SonicWall Firewall has a built-in VPN server, so you could configure that, point your remote client to the SonicWall's address and you're set - the remote machine will be given an address in your internal (192.168.2.x) LAN and will be able to communicate with all the other machines on the LAN.
    The other option is to configure the VPN server on your Mini, in which case you'll need to configure port forwarding on the SonicWall so that the VPN traffic (the UDP ports listed above) are passed through to the server.
    The advantage of running on the Mac is that it's automatically tied into the directory system on your Mac, so any user in your Mac's directory will be able to establish a VPN connection. The downside is that it's a little more complex to setup due to the port forwarding requirements.
    In either case, once the VPN connection is established your remote Mac will be able to communicate with any machine on the LAN (the Mini, other clients, printers, etc.). The only thing that won't work will be auto-discovery (e.g. Bonjour), so VPN-based servers won't appear in your Finder's sidebar, for example. To overcome this you'll need to make sure your LAN DNS is working properly or know the IP address of each machine on your LAN.

  • Setting up a Time Capsule for the first time and replacing it with an existing Router

    Hey there,
    I have got a new TC which I will be setting it up for the first time. I have a very old beetle router. I would be using the TC as a wireless hard drive and also as my WiFi Router. After reading the setup guide, I am confused about which option to choose. Moreover, available references on the internet do not provide any clear-cut solution.
    My basic aim is to replace my router with the TC and use its in-built WiFi hardware. Since I have an EPSON printer which is connected to my router wirelessly, I am not willing to change its settings. Please guide me which option to choose regarding the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
    The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network.  You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
    The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router.  An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
    Are you able to consider this option?
    Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
    Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
    Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.

  • I am using an airport express to stream from iTunes to my stereo.  My router is a net gear type G.  Setting up is no problem for the first time.  But, when I close iTunes then restart I have to reset (using the reset button)and reset up.  Wanna do it one?

    Using a. Airport express to stream from iTunes.  My Router is a Netgear type G.  The express sets up fine and works the first time.  When I try to use it at a later date after closing then reopening iTunes I have to physically reset the express and then go through the process of finding it again.  Is this normal? 

    I have a 3rd generation (802.11n capable, 2.4Ghz only) airport express, my problem is that I've tried using it to extend my network and that brick wall, no matter how close I get the express to the room, the signal and throughput in that room becomes abysmal.
    As you might imagine, brick is a lot like cement, and it will not allow much of the wireless signal through.
    Regarding your Express, there is no such thing as a 3rd Generation model....yet. You likely have a 1st Generation AirPort Express. Check and confirm the Model No on the side of the Express. A 1st Gen model is A1264.
    Here's my problem, I don't think the express supports "extending" a network from a wired network jack.
    The Express can "extend" wirelessly, or using an Ethernet connection. The configuration for this is very simple, but post back if you need it.
    The jack just seems to be shut off
    Have you temporarily turned off the wireless on a laptop and tried to connect it using an Ethernet cable to the wall jack as a "test"?
    If you can get a good Internet connection this way, then you know the Ethernet cabling and jack are working correctly.
    On the other hand, if you cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop during this "test", then this indicates that the Ethernet cable or jack is not functioning correctly and the wiring will need troubleshooting before you can proceed any further.
    I need to create a whole new wireless network in this room for this configuration to work?
    AirPort Setup will take care of this for you automatically during the configuration of the AirPort Express.
    If I have an apple TV connecting to the express and an AppleTV connecting to the extreme, will they both be visible when connected wirelessly to either network?
    Yes
    Will I be able to connect to my network seemlessly?
    Yes
    Post back after you have confirmed that the Ethernet cable and Ethernet jack are functioning correctly in the temporary "test" mentioned above.  Then, we will continue.

  • First Time Router User Questions

    This is my very first time owning and using a router, so I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
    1. Can my router be plugged (with the lights flashing) at all times, or does it have to be un-plugged when not in use?  (For fear of it overheating).
    2. If I stay connected to a wireless port from my router at all times (on any given computer), does it eat up my bandwidth even if I am not surfing the internet?
    Thank you if you reply to these somewhat silly questions. XD

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For a first time router owner your questions are perfectly normal. You dont have to turn off anything and the post about security is good advice. If your primary concern is bandwidth then you don' t want all your neighbors eating it up. As far as your LAN or Local Area Network you can leave that on as well with no bandwith issues. (Though with wireless you make run into some connectivity issues) Try not to confuse LAN with WAN. LAN = your network, WAN is you ISP a.k.a your bandwidth. Finally your WEP key (which is what I'm assuming you have to enter every time you disconnect) you can just leave that in and don't click on "disconnect" or you will be entering it everytime

  • PIX 501 and Linksys VPN Router (WRV200)

    I have inherited a job where we have a Cisco PIX 501 firewall at one site, and Linksys WRV200 VPN Router on two other
    sites. I have been asked to connect these Linksys routers to the PIX firewall via VPN.
    I believe the Linksys vpn routers can only connect via IPSec VPN, so i am looking for help on configuring the PIX 501 to allow the linksys to connect with the following parameters, if possible.
    Key Exchange Method: Auto (IKE)
    Encryption: Auto, 3DES, AES128, AES192, AES256
    Authentication: MD5
    Pre-Shared Key: xxx
    PFS: Enabled/Disabled
    ISAKMP Key Lifetime: 28800
    IPSec Key Lifetime: 3600
    On the PIX i have the PDM installed and i have tried using the VPN Wizard to no avail.
    I chose the following settings when doing the VPN Wizard:
    Type of VPN: Remote Access VPN
    Interface: Outside
    Type of VPN Client Device used: Cisco VPN Client
    (can choose Cisco VPN 3000 Client, MS Windows Client using PPTP, MS Windows client using L2TP)
    VPN Client Group
    Group Name: RabyEstates
    Pre Shared Key: rabytest
    Extended Client Authentication: Disabled
    Address Pool
    Pool Name: VPN-LAN
    Range Start: 192.168.2.200
    Range End: 192.168.2.250
    DNS/WINS/Default Domain: None
    IKE Policy
    Encryption: 3DES
    Authentication: MD5
    DH Group: Group 2 (1024-bit)
    Transform Set
    Encryption: 3DES
    Authentication: MD5
    I have attached the VPN log from the Linksys VPN Router.
    This is the first time i've ever worked with PIX so i'm still trying to figure the thing out, but i'm confident with CCNA level networking.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Pptp VPN route : Leopard does not set correct netmask

    Hello
    Today I switched from a MacOSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) PowerBook to a MacOS 10.5.5 (Leopard) MacBook Pro. I configured my pptp VPN settings with the "Internet Connection Tool" and Network-Settings-panel on Leopard identically as on my Tiger PowerBook (option route all traffic over VPN on both systems disabled).
    As far I could connect on the Leopard system to the destination VPN server without any problem, but could only establish a traffic-connection to the VPN server it self. As on my Tiger system the VPN connection worked seamless over several years now I supposed some routing problem.
    In fact on the Tiger system the routing table showed me, that the destination network has a 255.255.0.0 network mask and was correctly received and set on the Tiger routing table, but that the Leopard systems assumes a 255.255.255.0 network mask and set this assumption to the its routing table: (destination LAN has address space 10.50.0.0 - 10.50.255.255 / netmask 255.255.0.0)
    Tiger 10.4.11 :
    10.50/16 ppp0 USc 0 0 ppp0
    Leopard 10.5.5 :
    10.50/24 ppp0 USc 0 0 ppp0
    In the Leopard vpn setting panel, there is also the possibility to set manually the destination ip-address and netmask, but I found it has no effect on the real setting on Leopard. The only way to set the correct route with the correct netmask is under Leopard to do it by the command shell - first deleting the route set by Leopard and setting a new route with a the correct netmask :
    route delete -net 10.50. -interface ppp0
    route add -net 10.50. -interface ppp0 -netmask 255.255.0.0
    I do not understand, why under Tiger (and also on MacOSX 10.3.X) the pptp VPN worked always correct and set the correct netmask, and now Leopard (MacOSX 10.5.X) does some kind of assumption and is not able to set the correct netmask.
    Any Ideas ?

    How did you determine that partial traffic is sent through the VPN?
    Basic principles of VPN is to avoid using a common subnet for your client ip pool. Having an uncommon subnet will solve your #2 issue below. Simply change the 3rd octet on your home network from .1 to something else, .11
    I have a working pptp server configuration on ubuntu 10 with iphone 3g iOS 4.1 connected, invested hours of research, but only a short time configuring the server and iphone vpn client. passing internet traffic through local gateway/router from work wi-fi and accessing local desktop using windows remote desktop lite app.

  • Vpn routing problem

    hello!
    i recently configured on a cisco asa 5520 remote access using ipsec.
    the remote client uses cisco vpn client.
    the vpn client successfully authenticats and connects to the asa, however i dont have access to the lan. this is the first time that i configure cisco vpn on an asa.
    for one,because the lan subnet and the internal ip of the asa are different,im not sure which ip would be the most appropriate to assign the vpn client.secondly,ive read on other posts here about the nonat command and its involvement with the acl, but im not clear on it.im attaching my running config as to give a better understanding...thanks alot in advance!!

    Use a pool which is different than your lan subnet.
    For example, if your pool is 192.168.x.0 255.255.255.0
    then you will need...
    access-list nonat extended permit ip any 192.168.x.0 255.255.255.0
    nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat
    Also add..

  • How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

    How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
    When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro.  What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
    For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green.  If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
    If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
    The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green.  Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
    WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
    NOTE:  If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
    Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did.  He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
    Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse. 
    THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
    First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
    down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up.  If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it.  Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
    For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green.  If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.

    I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
    I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
    I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
    Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
    On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
    The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
    I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
    I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
    I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

  • First time machine backup from MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) on time capsule is extremely slow - unusable!

    I recently bought a Time Capsule 2TB.
    First I set it up to create a new wifi network parallel to my existing wifi network. The first Time Machine backup on my MBP 13 connected via ethernet cable finished overnight (under 10 hrs for about 150 GB), as expected.
    Then I found that my MBP was logging into my old network more often than to the time capsule network so that backups were not being made regularly. So I re-configured the Time Capsule to extend the exisitng network - all fine. Except that now Time Machine said it couldn't find the existing backup. After trying logging out and in, etc. I eventually deleted that sparsebundle to force Time Machine to start again new.
    Now I get an estimated time of 2 - 3 days for the first backup - even via ethernet cable. Sometimes it hangs up and says something like 4000 days... I can't afford to hook my MBP up to the time capsule or even stay at home for this time to let it finish, and I know it should be faster than that!
    I've tried a few of the tips I found so far in the forums, such as excluding my home folder from Spotlight, or even turning Spotlight off, but nothing has helped so far. Perhaps I missed some important step on the way.
    Can anyone give me a reliable step by tep method to solve this problem. I don't want a geeky workaround, I want to plug in (o better, be in my wifi network) and make the backup work like Time Machine is supposed to do it. And I would like to keep on using Spotlight, too.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unless you have a desktop Mac you can back up to over your network, your choices are:
    Spend a bunch on a Time Capsule, kind of a waste if you already have a wireless router.
    Spend $100 or so on an external HD and have some inconvenience until Iomega updates.
    Risk losing all your data.
    It's your call, but a no-brainer to me. 
    Better:  get a portable external.  Once you get the Iomega working, start making regular "clones" to the portable and take it off-site so you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, etc.

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

  • Button's Text Doesn't Display The First Time

    Hi there.
    I'm new to flash, and have come across the following problem,
    and can't seem to resolve it. It's really urgent that it's fixed
    ASAP. Can someone help me please?
    If you go to www.apollosci.co.za, the flash intro, at the
    bottom. The tab's text is missing. But when you go to another page,
    then go back to the flash intro page, the text shows. It's just the
    first time that its gone. And of course, the first time is the
    crucial part.
    I have tried different routes to fix this, by changing the
    character length, trying different codes in the menu.txt... but
    nothing seems to work. And as I mentioned above, I'm quite new to
    flash and code.
    I'm using MS Front Page to upload the website.

    I am also having this problem.  I open the app, it runs the startup screen and then the screen goes away but nothing happens.
    this is the log file that i got

  • I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and cannot get an internet connection throughWAN connection

    I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and can't get an internet connection via ethernet cord

    So new AC model TC??
    What modem is it? Pure cable modem .. did you power cycle the modem ( OFF for at least 30min..)??
    This is essential to lose the old setup and start afresh. 
    How have you setup the TC?
    Did you try just bridge to existing router? If it doesn't get an IP and you just bought it, possible it is faulty.
    Lots more details.. really important things like did the ethernet connectivity leds go on.. both the TC port and the modem port - front ethernet indicator should light up..
