Help with Multiple Routers on Network

Hi All,
I was hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having.
I live in a company provided 3 story house with 7 other co-workers and we have comcast cable internet. There is a linksys cable modem provided by comcast in the attic connected to an old crappy linksys WRT54GS router. They refuse to change and upgrade the router or even protect it. Currently it is set to all its default...default SSID no password, etc. I can't rock with that.
On the 2nd floor, I have a Linksys WRT54G router which I put the DD-WRT software on and have it setup as a Wireless Bridge connecting to the router upstairs and I have my computer, ps3, media player and network hard drive connected to it. At first I had an issue with the Network Hard Drive, which is a Netgear Stora, connecting to the internet. When I did a Port Fowarding Test on the Stora it came back with 0 out of 4 ports open and all were blocked. I tweaked the DD-WRT settings and fixed that.
Problem is, now my entire network is a "part" of that network and it is wide open, giving everyone access to my files. Also when I connect my wireless only devices, they have to connect to that router upstairs. Also, When other computers turn on I can see them in my media files which I don't want. I want to create a private network within that network so I can still have access to the internet but my devices will be isolated from theirs.
I found another router on sale, a Linksys WRT120N that I bought and connected to the DD-WRT router via the internet port in hopes that I would create my own private network with the WRT120N router and have the DD-WRT router simply serve as a bridge connecting the WRT120N internet WAN port wirelessly to the internet router upstairs as there is no physical way to connect the two.
So far it works, I can connect my devices wirelessly and wired to my router and they have access to the internet but the problem is my Stora network drive can't connect to the internet again. When I do a Port Fowarding Test on the Stora it comes back with 0 out of 4 ports open and all are blocked. Their tech team said it is a double-NAT scenario which I can't seem to fix.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on opening the ports of my stora so it can access the internet and still maintain my private network connecting wirelessly to the internet upstairs? Hopefully I gave enough information so you can understand the setup, the problem and the desired end solution. Thanks.

Dude you need to reconfigure the router that you setup as Wireless Bridge.
Router 1: Leave them unprotected
Router 2: Connect Router 1 to Router 2's WAN PORT.
Configure a different set of IP address.192.168.2.1
Router 3: Throw it away.  You purchased a problem.

  • Help with multiple nat translation on a Cisco Nexus 3548

    Hi All,
    I need a little help with a NAT configuration on a cisco Nexus 3548 version 6.0(2)A4(3).
    What currently have is as follows:
    internal network: 192.168.4.0/24
    nexus router (routerA):
      LAN Side: vlan104 interface 192.168.4.201/24
      WAN Side: Eth1/48 interface 172.24.101.2/24
      remote network: 159.43.48.32/27
      remote gateway: 172.24.101.1/24
    use ACL's to ensure that only specific traffic is allowed out and in.
    allow a specific connection from a different internal network (192.168.3.0/24) to talk to port 159.43.48.34:1025
    Clients on the internal network 192.168.4.0, need to be able to connect to services (port 14002, port 8101) running on 159.43.48.34, but they must be SNAT'ed through the WAN interface as coming from 159.43.65.81
    Currently we have this working but the internal lan clients need to know how to get to 159.43.48.34/27 and therefore we need to route this network in our internal network.
    What we really want is to do is provide an address such as 192.168.4.203 for internal clients to use for connectivity to the various services, and then this address would be SNAT'ed to 159.43.65.81 over the WAN. We still want to secure the traffic in both directions.
    In the past i've been able to do this with inside and outside nat's and i haven't had to configure an interface on the router for the internal address, it has just been "stood up" by the nat rules. For example (this is how i've done it before):
    LAN interface
    ip nat outside
    WAN interface
    ip nat inside
    ip nat inside source static159.43.65.81 192.168.4.203
    ip nat outside source static 159.43.65.81 192.168.4.203
    but, trying to implement this sort of config on the Nexus isn't working.
    I am wondering if the Nexus behaves differently than ios based routers.
    I'd appreciate any help to get this config working.
    Thanks in advance,
    Les

    Les
    The issue with an "ip nat outside ..." static is that from the inside routing is done before NAT.
    So what happens is that the destination IP is 192.168.4.203 and the Nexus will do a route lookup, see it is directly connected so it won't forward the packet to the outside interface so it doesn't get translated.
    If you enter "ip nat outside source static 159.43.48.34 192.168.4.203" then on IOS it adds a host specific route to the routing table for 192.168.4.203 as directly connected.
    So you do a ping from a 192.168.3.x client  it looks like it is working but actually the L3 device is simply responding and the packet never gets to the server.
    Apologies for the long winded explanation but NXOS might behave differently and I wanted you to know what to look for.
    So with IOS there is the "add-route" option at the end of the NAT statement and if you use this it would add a host specific route into the routing table like this -
    192.168.4.203 255.255.255.255 159.43.48.34
    this is a recursive route ie. the device must know how to get to 159.43.48.34 but your Nexus should.
    What the above does is make sure any packets arriving at the Nexus for 192.168.4.203 get routed to the outside interface and so are translated.
    So firstly see if that option is available with your NAT statement ie.
    "ip nat outside source static 159.43.48.34 192.168.4.203 add-route"
    if it isn't then try adding just the static statement without it and then have a look at the routing table. If it hasn't put in a host specific route showing as directly connected which it may not, as it may behave differently, then you can manually add a route ie.
    192.168.4.203 255.255.255.255 <next hop IP>
    note that the next hop IP doesn't have to be the server here it could just be the next hop from the Nexus switch. All you are trying to do is get the packet routed to the outside interface.
    Hope that makes sense.
    Edit - one thing I haven't tried is to use a different IP subnet for NAT ie. one that is still part of your internal range but unused and then having a route on the Nexus, in your case, pointing to the outside interface and you redistribute this subnet into your IGP. Then you add the NAT statement.
    What may happen is it still adds a host specific route showing as directly connected but it may not because the Nexus wouldn't actually have a directly connected interface for that subnet.
    I suspect it would though.
    If it did work then it would still mean you didn't need to advertise the public IP internally.
    If I get the chance I'll test it later today.

  • Help with Multiple libraries and one storage location for files

    I cannot get an answer to this question anywhere and was really hoping that The [H] would be able to help.
    Here is my current set up that allows my wife and I to have completely independent libraries and ratings, but use the same files:
    -Shared folder with MP3s on a network drive.
    -Two PCs, each with it's own Ipod associated to it with individual libraries but all pointing to the same network share for MP3 Files.
    -Each PC is using the SAME Itunes account for downloads.
    -Each account has it's own library folder also on a network share.
    Now to my question(s)/problem with downloaded content:
    (1) Is there any way to have a file that is downloaded from Itunes be automatically placed in a shared location accessible to both Libraries? (Say if I download the latest Jack Johnson album, can it automatically show up in my wife's library and vice versa?)
    (2) Is there any way to share the album artwork versus having two copies of everything(one for each library)?
    So my goal is to have two libraries with a central location for ALL files, including anything downloaded from Itunes by each individual user. Is this possible?

    Have your wife transfer all purchases from the iPad into iTunes, backup her iPad and then sync with iTunes. Everything ... All media and other content will be available in that iTunes library and she will have a current backup.
    Assuming that your son will still be sharing your wife's Apple ID (he is too young to have one of his own) .... When you set up his iPad, restore the iPad from your wife's backup and then select only the content that you want your son to have on his iPad in the iTunes library and then sync that iPad with iTunes.
    The game progress is stored in the backup and should transfer onto his device when you restore from your wife's backup. You can always delete any content (apps, movies, music) that you don't want your son to have on the iPad, if you missed it when you synced with iTunes after setting the device up for him.
    You can set your sync preferences - any way that you want to - for both devices and still use the same iTunes library for both iPads. So ... Yes you can sync any apps that you want to his iPad and any apps that your wife wants to her iPad. You just need to restore your son's iPad from your wife's backup in order to get his game progress onto his iPad.
    In case you need these....

  • Help with multiple contacts with multiple phone numbers

    I'm fairly new to the iPhone so thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
    I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
    At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number.  Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number. 
    I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens),  the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know  who & where their calling from.  It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time,  but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
    This is a real pain!, having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time.  My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.  Am I missing something here?  I am new to the iPhone so if there’s a solution to this that I’ve missed I'd very much appreciate the assistance.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help With Multiple Schemas In Multiple Environments

    Dear Oracle Forum:
    We have a bit of controversy around the office and I was hoping we could get some expert input to get us on the right track.
    For the purposes of this discussion, we have two machines, development and production. Currently, on each machine, we have one database with multiple schemas, say, one for sales data and another for inventory. The sales data has maybe 200 tables and the inventory has another 50. About 12 times a year, once a month, we have a release and move code from dev to prod. The database is accessed by several hundred Pro*C and Pro*Cobol programs for online transaction processing.
    The problem comes up when we need to have multiple development environments. If I need to work on something for May that requires the customer address field to be 50 characters and somebody else is working on something for July that requires the customer address field to be 100 characters, we can’t both function in the same schema. We have a method of configuring running programs to attach to a given schema/database. Currently, everything connects to the same place. We were told that we should not have the programs running as the owners of the schemas for some reason so we set up additional users. The SALES schema is accessed with the connect string: SALES_USER/[email protected]. (I don’t know where we got dot world from but that is not the current discussion.)
    One of the guys said that we should have 12 copies of the database running, which is kind of painful to think about in my opinion. Oracle is not a lightweight product and there are any number of ancillary processes that would have to be duplicated 12 times.
    My recommendation is that we have 12 schemas each for sales and inventory with 12 users each to access them. We would have something like JAN_SALES_USER, FEB_SALES_USER, etc. Each user would have synonyms set up for each of the tables it is interested in. When my program connects as MAY_SALES_USER, I could select from the customer table and I would get my 50 character address field. When the other user connects as JUL_SALES_USER, he would get his 100 character address field. Both of us would not know anything different.
    Another idea that came up is to have a logon trigger that would set the current schema for that user to the appropriate base schema. When JUL_SALES_USER logs in, the current schema would be set to JUL_SALES, etc. This would simplify things by allowing us to avoid having something like 2400 synonyms to maintain (which could be automated without too much difficulty) but it would complicate things by requiring a trigger.
    There are probably other ways to go about this we have not considered as yet. Any input you can give will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    /Bob Bryan

    I'd rather see you with 12 schemas than with 12 databases. Unless you have lots of CPUs to spare ... and lots of cash to pay for those extra CPU licenses.
    Then again, I'd take it one step further and ask to investigate the base design. There should be little reason to change the schema based on time. Indeed, from what little I know of your app, I'd have to ask whether adding a 'date' column and appropriate views or properly coded SQL statements might simplify things. Interesting. If we were to have one big Customer table with views for each month, how would we handle the case where the May people have to see 50 character address and July have to see a 100 character address field. I guess we could have MAY_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50) and JULY_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(100) and take care to make sure that people connecting as May can only see the May columns, etc. This is simpler than multiple schemas?
    I may have overly simplified things in my effort to get something down that would not require too much explanation. The big thing is that multiple people are doing development and they have to be independent of each other. If we were to drop a column for July, the May people will have trouble compiling if we don’t keep things separate. It is not a case of making the data available. The data in development is something we cook up to allow us to test. The other part is the code we compile now will be released to production one of these times. In production, there is only a need for one database.
    We are moving from another database product where multiple databases are effectively different sets of files. We have lots of disk space so multiple databases were no problem. Oracle is such a powerful product; I can’t believe there is not some way to set up something similar.

  • Help with multiple case statements

    Hello,
    I am new to BO.  I am on XI 3.0.  SQL 2005.  In Designer, I am trying to create a measure in a financial universe that would end up being multiple case statements within one select.  This is what I tried to do, but it doesn't work with the two case statements.  Can I use an ELSE leading into the second CASE WHEN somehow?  How can I accomplish this?  Sorry for my ignorance!
    CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 12 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
    CASE WHEN  dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 11 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Holly

    Holly,
    I don't know enough about your data or requirement to provide a solution, however, the construct that you post will not work because it causes you to build an object with multiple case statements when only one case statement per object is permitted.  From what I see in your code I would be inclined to combine the two statements into one as such:
    CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month in (11,12) THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales else null END
    Thanks,

  • Setting up my Airport Extreme properly with multiple routers on a home network

    I have a 4 bedroom house that over the years has had router after router added in different rooms. I recently bought an airport extreme and an airport express as I am getting sick of not being able to network everything as well as to have one strong wifi.
    So I have set up the Extreme in my office and the express at the far end of the house and it's doing wonders in boosting the wireless signal. This is what I am trying to solve:
    How do I make all the wired routers apart of my wired and wireless network? The router/modem that was installed by Verizon obviously should stay. I read in another forum that NAT should be turned on and all other routers shouldn't but would be bridged. I logged into the admin settings for the router and couldn't find any place to change this.
    As you can tell, I am no IT. So I am sure this may all be confusing. My ultimate goal is to have a shared hard drive on my airport extreme and shared printer on my express and all computers on the same network, communicating to each other. Currently I have 3 routers + airport extreme and express all connected.
    Hope someone has the patients to help me out.
    Thanks.

    Good diagram!
    In that case you definitely want the D-Link to act as a switch, and its manual describes how to do it:
    (page 10)
    Connect to Another Router
    If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before connecting the router to your network:
    Disable UPnPTM
    Disable DHCP
    Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
    To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
    Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
    Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 and press Enter. When the login window appears, set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.
    Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
    Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
    Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
    Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet port of the D-Link router.
    You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.
    While reading the above bear in mind the Verizon box is your router. Don't overlook any of the details in these instructions - read all of it and understand its implications. If I were doing it the first thing I'd want to know is how to reset the DIR-601 to factory defaults since I'd be sure to muck it up about a dozen times before getting it right.
    It sounds as though your Express is configured correctly. It is providing a wireless access point for your wired network, the one created by your Verizon router.
    The optimal configuration for this design is to configure the Express to create a network using the exact same wireless network name and password as the one created by your Verizon router, otherwise you will have two wireless networks. Leave its "channel" on "automatic" so it won't conflict with whatever the Verizon is using.
    It will look a little like this:
    I'm assuming some of your devices still need 802.11g so the "radio mode" will most likely need to be b/g compatible.
    When everything is up and running, experiment with the wireless transmitter power for the Verizon router as well as the Express. It's best to use the least amount that will work for you, so as not to create needless wireless interference for everyone else. This also minimizes the possibility of people piggybacking on - or trying to hack into - your wireless network.
    As far as getting your Windows computer to see your external HD, I haven't a clue. I'm sure it's possible but I'm not a Windows expert.

  • Help with multiple AP network setup

    I am in need of a little help setting up my network again. I have a AP extreme2, AP extreme 1 and two AP expresses. The house I am in is wired with CAD 5 to each room. I have a Linksys Etherfast Router (BEFSR81, this is the 8 port version of the one that is certified to work with Back to my mac). I have two desktop macs (G4 and G5)without wireless as well as a MBPro.
    I have had this all working as a WDS using the airports in bridge mode and was able to control Airtunes from any computer in the house, share files and use screen sharing without trouble. The problem is that back to my mac would not work with this set up because NAT was not switched on. How should I configure each of the Airports to be able to use Back to my mac, file sharing and airtunes for each computer in the house?
    The basic set up I have is as follows:
    1. Linkys router receiving input from cable modem (cox cable) and passing to LAN to distribute to each room of the house.
    2. AP extreme 2 in office with G4/G5, airdisk attached.
    3. AP extreme 1 in bed room
    4. AP express in living room
    5. AP express in den
    In order to use the back to my mac feature of 10.5 I believe I need to select "Share a single IP address" in the Airport utility but what do I need to do after that? I am at a loss with IP addressing and such.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm using the Mac wired - it does not have wireless capability, and as it is sitting right next to the router I just want to hook it up with Ethernet cable. The wireless function is just for the PCs I have downstairs.
    I am not sure what non-broadcast SSID means, but I think that has to do with the wireless portion of the network, right? I do have a SSID name set up, and WEP encryption so that only the PCs I own can connect to the wireless network, not anyone else's computers. But on the wired PC I have connected directly to the router, I do not have to input any of the security settings. I've even set the router to recognize the MAC addresses of all my computers, including the Mac.
    What brand and model of router are you using successfully with Macs & PCs? The store I bought my router from is willing to give me a full refund if I can't get it to work - perhaps I would have better luck with the type of router you're using.

  • Help with choosing routers

    I am designing a WAN for a small company. I am familiar with networking and basic cisco router configuration, however I have never attempted anything of this scope. My situation is as follows:
    The company currently has one main office and two branch offices connected to to the main office with dedicated T1 lines. The main office has a cable internet connection and a VOIP telephone system in place. The goal is to share the internet connection and spread the VOIP system out to the branch offices. I would like to know if the following routers would do the job: A cisco 3725 at the main office configured with two T1 ports, an extra ethernet port for the phone system, and using the two built in ethernet ports for the broadband internet and LAN. And at each of the branch offices a 1721 with 1 T1 port, and extra ethernet port for the phone system, and using the built in ethernet port for the LAN. Each router would also have to act as a DHCP server. If these routers can do this, can they do it with the standard IOS that they ship with?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks
    Is it also included on the 3725?
    Also, are these the correct modules I should use in the routers:
    3725
    NM-2CE1T1-PRI (two T1 ports)
    WIC-1ENET (extra ethernet port)
    1721
    WIC-1ENET (extra ethernet port)
    WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 (T1 port)

  • Help with VPLS across MPLS network

    Hi Team,
    I have been trying hard to get this going, but have never played with this before. Anyway, I would like to create a VPLS network across our sevrice provider to a reginal office. I have been told about doing a tunnel across and then running MPLS and VPLS across it, but I can't get this to work.
    Here is a picture of my network in GNS3. I need to make this work between MONHUB1 and SCS2800.
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/101819653/Capture.JPG
    Any help would be great. The end goal is to have the VLAN in the head office span across to the regioanl office.
    Thanks

    Hello Cory,
    if the involved devices are ISR routers like 2800, VPLS is not supported over them.
    However, if you just need a point to point vlan based L2 transport service you can use L2TPv3 tunneling protocol between the two routers.

  • Need Help with Multiple Airport Setup

    I have the following hardware:
    2- Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II)
    1- Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet)
    2- Airport Express 802.11n
    Microcom EZ-BR2 802.11b/g Bridge Kit (the routers see this as just an ethernet cable connecting the two points)
    Extras (old Airport Extreme Dome, Old Airport Express, D-Link DIR625)
    I am host at a camp and retreat facility in a national forest. We have a satellite connection in our ball field on one end of the campus. The satellite line goes into a recreation building with the modem and Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet) router. The Microcom EZ-BR2 is plugged in to this on one end and connects to one of the Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II)'s in our main building office 800 feet away. The router in the office is set up as the main router for the wireless network, our Ooma phone & network printer are plugged in here. There is one Airport Express in this building giving internet access to a Power Mac G4 & old iMac. Up to this point everything works fine. My house is across the road from the office and has a pretty strong signal from the office router. I tried hooking up the other Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II) at home. If I set it up to extend the network the wireless works, but the Ethernet ports do not. If I set it up in bridge mode, the ethernet ports work but it doesn't extend the network, so I put the other Airport Express in bridge mode first to get internet in to the Extreme then made a new network for the house, If I keep it all the same network my Apple TV doesn't really work, with a second network our iphones and misc. devices keep getting kicked off the network "IP not valid", so I have to keep powering down to get everything working again. How should I set this up?

    To have the Ethernet port active, you would have to configure both the AEBSn in the office and the one you have in your house as an extended network ... with the office AEBSn configured for "Allow this network to be extended" and the house AEBSn configured for "Extend a wireless network."
    The key here is that (most likely) you will not be able to extend the 5 GHz radio and possibly not the 2.4 GHz radio due to the range between the AirPorts. The higher frequency network typically has a usable range of 50-75 feet; the 2.4 GHz network, 100-150 feet. By "usable," I mean with sufficient bandwidth to be worth it.
    You can test this by measuring the Signal & Noise values and calculating the resultant Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). You will want the house AEBSn within a 25+dB range of the one in the office.
    Let me know if you need further assistance on how to take these measurements.
