Ghost IP address on WAG320N router

I want to set up internet access (from home) to a Filemaker programme I am running on my computer here at work. It is Peer-to-peer, NOT server to client.
As far as I understand, in order to regularly connect, you need to have a static IP address to ensure easy connection (a non-moving target).
In order to implement the IP address connection, my understanding was that I had to enable my computer to own that (static) IP address and then open ports to allow access through the router to my computer.
The router address is 58.108.188.150 and I have allowed 20 users, so the 166 is within the range of addresses.
I then have tried to choose the .166 address for my computer by selecting a Using DHCP with a manual address option (see attached), but it comes up with "another device is using this address".
I have checked using the Router's DHCP Client Table and the ARP/RARP Table as well as a third party Network utility and they both clearly show that no other device is using that IP address.
The only thing I can think of that may be causing this is that when I first changed the router's settings from 192.168.123.100 to the 58.108.etc settings I entered the starting number (the router address) as .166.
This was borne out by the Network Utility actually showing the router as having 2 IP addresses, until I deleted the .166 entry (can't remember how I did that - probably through the Network Utility itself)
May that have somehow kept a "ghost" image of the address and is now keeping me from using it?
I'd prefer not to have to reset and lose all my other settings.

Hi,
This ghost address on your gateway, well, my advice is to perform a reset. You don’t need to worry about reconfiguration. You just have to save a copy or backup of your wag320n settings under administration.  You may restore the gateway’s settings after the reset.  To make sure that ghost ip address will not anymore appear, you assign static ip and static dns on every network device. One by one, add the devices to your gateway and then refresh the dhcp client table and refresh it. No ip address should be seen in the DHCP client table if all devices have an assigned ip addresses. Anything unusual on your device could be a firmware issue. If your network is working fine, no need to worry. Any speed and signal problems experienced could be the result of hardware or firmware problem.

    Hi,
    You may get your answer in below link
    http://www.groupstudy.com/archives/ccielab/200812/msg00999.html
    First next-hop will be used unless until that is not unreachable. If first is unreachable, then next one will be used. Since these next-hops are directly connected, router can easily come to know whether they are active or not. In case you want to set some loopback ip as next-hop then you need to use keyword recursive "set ip next-hop recursive"

  • Blocking MAC-Address on Cisco Router

    Can anyone tell me how to block a particular mac-address on cisco router 2900 series? There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow. Can anyone help me out with this?
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    With your problem-description
    There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow
    the strategy of using the router to block them is the wrong way because the PCs are already on the network and the blocking has to be done at the entry-points which are the switches.
    But if you want to stop them leaving your network on the router by filtering the MAC, you could also use modified QoS-mechanisms:
    class-map match-any UNWANTED-PCs
      match source-address mac AAAA.BBBB.CCCC
      match source-address mac DDDD.EEEE.FFFF
    policy-map IN-POLICY
      class UNWANTED-PCs
       drop
    int GigabitEthernet0/0
      description LAN-Interface
      service-policy input IN-POLICY

  • Can you use SNMP to change an IP address on a router?

    We can't seem to find the OID, but it would seem to be pretty common.  Has anyone changed an IP address with SNMP?

    Normally you do not have to do that. The route DHCP should be able to assign IP address to all your devices on your local network.

  • Ospf forwarding address for external routes

    I read this in a document:
    "When OSPF learns an external LSA, it makes sure that the forwarding address is known
    through an OSPF intra-area or interarea route before it installs it into the routing table. If the
    forwarding address is not known through an intra-area or interarea route, OSPF will not install
    the route in the routing table."
    I am trying to understand from where this requirement comes from? Why OSPF will not install the route in the routing table if the forwarding address is known via ospf external route?

    Hi,
    the originating router sets the FA to a non-zero IP-address only when certain conditions are met:
    The interface pointing to the next-hop IP of the external route
    has to be OSPF-enabled (non-passive)
    AND
    has to be a multiacces-interface (network type broadcast or non-broadcast)
    So if there is no OSPF interal route to reach the FA on other routers, someting went wrong and it's safer not to install the route.

  • How to block mac address in 2800 router

    sir
    how to block mac addresses in cisco 2800 router 

    Hi,
    To block mac addresses you can simply create Mac based ACLs which ranges between 
    700 to 799
    Example:
    access-list 700 deny xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
    access-list 700 permit yyyy.yyyy.yyyy.yyyy
    now you can apply it on interface:
    int f0/0
    access-group 700 in 
    exit

  • MAC address filter on router does not work for iOS8

    The MAC address randomization feature in iOS8 is great for privacy, but this being the case, I am not able to connect to a wi-fi router that employs a MAC address filter. Is there a way to turn off this MAC address randomization?

    I had this problem. I followed the directions to replace the netinfo db's. I rebooted, and started going through the initial OS X welcome stuff. When I tried to re-enter my user stuff, I got a "sorry, standard user cannot be added" error, and the machine went to a blue screen.
    This is odd, as I have completely restored the system from scratch (reformatted the hard drives, reinstalled). The first boot up it works fine. It seems that one of the updates must be screwing it up, because after it gets through updating, when it reboots, I can't log in.

  • Does loopback address of a router have a vlan??

    hi all,
    i need to know if the interface IP for BGP link and the loopback address of router have a vlan for them or not??
    is yes, then how to check that?

    Peter
    While I basically agree with your response I would propose one refinement. If we are looking at the physical Ethernet interface of a router and if that interface is connected to a switch access port then there is certainly a VLAN associated with the switch side. And one might then also say that the VLAN is associated with the router physical interface.
    Perhaps another way to look at it starts from the fact that a defining characteristic of a VLAN is that it defines a layer 2 broadcast domain. A router physical interface also defines a layer 2 broadcast domain.

  • Network address as the next hop address in ip route statement???

    Hi All,
    I am confused about ip route statements in the following Cisco document.
    Configuring ISDN DDR with Dialer Profiles
    Document ID: 9568
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/793/access_dial/ddr_dialer_profile.html
    The statements are;
    ip route 172.22.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.22.80.0
    ip route 172.22.80.0 255.255.255.0 Dialer1
    Why does it use network address as next hop address on the first line?
    And it is a source network address on the second line.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks a lot,
    Nitass

    When you specify a network address as next hop in a ip route statement, the router does recursive lookup. When it matches a packet for a network other than 172.22.80.0, it will match the router 172.22.0.0 and the route basically says use 172.22.80.0 as the next hop. Now the router looks up the routing table for how to reach 172.22.80.0 and ends up routing via Dialer 1.

  • Networking issue with new Macbook - cannot get IP address from DHCP router

    Hello all, I've seen this problem posted a few times and been having the same problem with my new aluminum MacBook. Here's the story:
    When connecting to my network at home, I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP and may not be able to connect to the internet." I've been able to connect a few times, but anytime it sleeps or I shut down I have the same problem. When I'm out and about, it has no problem connecting to other networks.
    On the network in which I cannot connect, there are 2 other macs and two PCs that do NOT have any problem connecting. Macs are all running 10.5.5.
    Router in a 2Wire and uses DHCP. ISP is AT&T.
    I've tried rebooting the router, manually assigned an IP address, restarting, updating software. Nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is kinda making me crazy.

    I've also tried:
    1) Creating a new location in network prefs.
    2) Zapping PRAM
    3) rebooting router many time.
    4) putting a $ in front of the hex password
    5) deleting all of the plists that I've seen recommended.
    6) Starting in safe mode
    7) Renewing IP
    8) Shutting off firewall
