Internet Gateway Listed in Network Connections

Anyone know why I would have an Internet Gateway listed in Network Connections? If I disable it I cannot access the Internet. No other PC in my home has this, except one desktop. Running XP.
Thanks
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My advise is..
If you do not have at least two game consoles behind this router, turn off UPnP in the router.
This is done in the router at Advanced -> UPnP.
By game consoles, any two..
#1 For example: X-box, PlayStation.
#2 A special type of computer with no keyboard or mouse. And it is usually connected to a TV.

Allow Internet but block other network connections ?

I am using my Airport Extreme (b/g) only for connecting my Wii/Internet radio devices to the internet. I also have a NAS and my computers attached to the network but because the AE is set to WEP and I am worried it is too easy for someone to break in to it and get access to my shared data in the network.
My network is:
Netgear WNR3500L wireless router connected to:
DSL Modem
Netgear ReadyNAS
Netgear Powerline Adapter
Airport Extreme
So can I allow internet but no other network connections through the AE ?

Removed ip access-list & lost network connectivity

An access-list was removed to edit and replace. Once the access-list was removed we lost network connectivity to the remote router. This list is an extensive one. But when we remove on other remote routers network connectivity remained. Can anyone tell me why? Is this a typical of access-list, and good practice is to wait until after business hours?

No problem.
I am sure that we have all had experiences of looking at things we have written, or questions answered, and realized that what we wrote was not quite what we were thinking as we created it.
Your main point is well taken that it is good practice to remove the access-group before removing and changing the content of access lists.
Sometimes I take a slightly different approach: I will build a new version of the access list using a different number (if I am changing access list 101, I may create list 102) which is the modified version of the list. I then change the access-group to reference the new version of the list. This may have a couple of advantages including the fact that the interface is always protected by some access list. Also it makes backing out changes easier if we discover that there was some flaw in our list modification.

Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

Hello out there,
I'm using a TiBook (G4 867MHz) and a MacBook Pro 17". They are connected via a WLAN-router. Additionally the MBP is connected to the internet via an UMTS-connection established with a Merlin 870XU type PC-card.
Network is working fine, including screen-sharing. Also the internet connection on MBP works without error. But if I activate Internet-Sharing via WLAN to get my TiBook connected to the internet, the MBP connection to the WLAN is cut off.
Can somebody tell me what's going wrong and how to solve it?

Can't get Internet through my own Network Connecti...

Hi, I have a HH3, which I am constantly having to switch off and on again for devices to connect to the Internet. It's been happening for months, and last week BT sent me a new hub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. It seems that our devices connect to the router, but the router doesn't connect to the Internet.
If I select the BT Wifi connection and log in via the Openzone homepage, I get Internet access. But this is not practical for all devices. My children can't play on their tablets and viewing / downloading TV on demand is pretty much impossible. And these were the main reasons for upgrading to Infinity.
I've had several conversations with call centre support staff, but the problem persists.
Can anybody tell me whether this is a settings issue that I can fix? My family is going nuts!

EDIT: As you initially posted on the Infinity board I have assumed you have infinity. If you only have ADSL this will not apply to you.
Make a direct connection from your PC/Laptop to the Openreach modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal to see if it disconnects. If it does disconnect you will know it is either a faulty modem or a line/exchange fault.
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

RV042 Gateway to Gateway VPN Losing network connection

I have an branch office RV042 version 1 connected via ADSL with less that 5 workstations (Vista - Win7 - Outlook) and VOIP/SIP to our main office RV042 version 4 via Charter Cable Modem...Tunnel is Gateway to gateway. We are experience random disconnects to our Windows servers in main office through the tunnel. We have isolated it down to the VPN tunnel. Our internet connections have tested out good. Our main server is a SBS 2008. Is there any issue with the Tunnel between two RV042's on different versions...

Hello MP:
Thanks for the reply. I did doublecheck both routers and all the netmask are 255.255.255.0. On the insides of both LAN's, I can ping devices. On the routers, I can ping each other, but not any devices inside the Remote LAN.
Most of the devices on each LAN are "digital radios" so they don't have any antivirus or firewall software. In addition to the radios, there are 2 computers on each LAN, each with the firewalls off and we disabled the AV software.
Both RV042's are running version 4.0.0.07-tm that was dated Aug 19 2010.
These were bought from the radio vendor and their tech support says the current config should work.
Definately a head scratcher.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Securing Internet Connection on Internet Gateway Router

Hi,
I am looking for some suggestion as to how many different security features that should should be implemented on IOS based Internet Gateway Router.
What are the different ways hackers attack, DoS attack, Worm Attack can be prevented on IOS routers.
I know it is a broad question, but a list of essential measures on IOS would be helpful.
Fawad

Hello,
I would recommend:
-Stateful inspection
-uRPF checks
-ACL's
-Connection limits
With that you will cover the essentials but of course as you know you need way more than a device to protect a network.

Julio

How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
4.       Select Network Setup.
5.       Select Wireless setup.
6.       Select Scan
7.       Select your network
8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
10.   Select Enter.
11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
security key.
12.   Press the right arrow.
13.   Select Auto.
14.   Press the right arrow.
15.   Select Save and connect.
These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

Can I enable "Use default gateway on remote network" on VPN connection using Group Policy?

Hi,
First timer here so please bear with me!
Environment: Domain Windows 2003, Clients: Windows 7 and Windows XP (with Client Side Extensions pushed out)
When creating a VPN connection on a client machine manually with default settings the "Use default gateway on remote network" found in [Connection Properties - Networking - IPv4 - Advanced] is enabled, which is good as we don't allow split-tunneling.
I have a test GPO that creates a new VPN Connection [Computer Config - Preferences - Control Panel - Network Options], but the above setting is unticked.
Am I missing something on the options for the GP preference to set this automtically?
I can write a script to directly change the C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk file but would prefer if I could sort it all out using Group Policy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
David

Shane,
There is actually a way to set the "Use default gateway on remote network" through Group Policy Preferences. And this may even be a better way to do it, because you may change this flag without touching any other settings, or other VPN connections.
(All VPN connections are stored in the same .pbk file.)
Here's the trick: Opening the .pbk file in notepad, I realized that this is actually an oldstyle ini-structured file. And Group Policy Preferences can update ini files! In the .pbk file the section names are the VPN connections names, like [My VPN],
and the property IpPrioritizeRemote is the flag "Use default gateway on remote network".
So, in Group Policy Management Editor, go to Preferences / Windows Settings / Ini Files.
Create a new object with Action = Update, and File Path =
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\rasphone.pbk
(If this is where your file is located, I guess it is in c:\users if the VPN connection is made for a single user.)
Section Name should be the display name of your VPN connection, without the brackets.
Property Name = IpPrioritizeRemote
Property Value = 1
Peter, www.skov.com, Denmark
Peter :-)
This is great, but just one question. I also want to append a list of DNS Sufixes in order (when viewing a VPN properties, this is buried in
"Networking --> IPv4/6 --> Advanced --> DNS --> Append these DNS Suffixes (in order)". However, for the VPNs I have manually created with this list populated, I can't see any entries in the rasphone.pbk. Does anyone know
where these are stored?
Cheers.

Network connection without Internet

So I came back from college, and my G4 PB will connect to the house's router, see the house network, but won't connect to the internet. Running the Network Diagnostic, everything clears except the server and internet at the end. I've reset the modem and the router, and an XP laptop in my house works fine (fine being able to access the internet). Still no results for the PB. Any suggestions?

Mike first welcome to the discussions.
2 things, You say your G4 Powerbook will connect to the houses router, you don't say weather it is wired or wireless.
Go up to your Apple and then to System Preferences and then click on Network and make sure that you have the correct method selected. Click on your choice Airport for wireless Etheernet or Internal Modem for dial-up. After your choice is made click and drag it to the top of the list.
2nd Click on the signal strength bar just to the right of the Help icon on the top menu bar. Click on it and make sure you are connecting to your home Network and not picking up someone elses.
Let us know if any of this helped. Cheers Don

Getting this messg on Factime "could not sign in, check your network connection", but I have Wifi activated and working with internet?? what can I do?

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi. Open Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Problems with XB3 gateway; it won't connect to internet properly in bridge mode

I recently moved to a new area and had to replace my old gateway from the other comcast franchise with a new one. The new one has built-in wifi. Ever since I got the new gateway, my connection has been slow and unreliable, especially when more than one person is trying to use a computer at once, and I do not like that this wifi is interfering with the setup I was previously happy with using my airport time capsule as a router, with my old airport express in bridge mode for airtunes use. In that setup with the same people and devices and use habits I did not have these problems. I looked for directions on how to disable the built-in wifi (I also don't like just putting out connections I do not use, it feels like a waste of my signal and a security risk!) and followed the instructions i found on this forum which seemed very simple. I logged in to the gateway and turned bridge mode on, restarted everything, switched the time capsule back OUT of bridge mode... and my time capsule and airport were all green, as well as the online login to the gateway saying it was connected to the internet, but my time capsule showed that there was no internet connection and in terms of loading web pages... deifnitely the time capsule was correct in that I was not getting a connection. My computers and devices weren't showing up on the gateway's page as "connected devices" either. I've tried multiple times, reset everything multiple times, and rechecked directions but for now I had to re-enable the wifi and suddenly i can get online again. (And no, it's not that my computer is actually using those netowrks - I'm on my Time Capsule's network and checking the status through the airport utility.) I really want to get this extra wifi disabled and see if that resolves my crappy connection problems because the service is just useless in the evening as it is now! If anyone knows what might be wrong, I'd appreciate the help. Everything should be on pretty standard settings as far as my Time Capsule and Airport go - Airport is just in client mode, TC has to be in bridge mode when the other wifi is on or I get errors, but i haven't done anything fancy with any of its settings.

Hi, since you have 2 Linksys devices and it's hard to pinpoint the exact problem. You might the try doing changes on both Linksys devices.
WRT54GX2
- update or reflash the firmware
- change the channel from auto to 11 or 1
- change the beacon interval value to 50
WMP54GX
- download and update to the latest drivers

Network Magic has difficulty identifying the Internet gateway

I am using a Netgear WNR854T router in a secondary position. The primary router is a Verizon (FIOS) Actiontec. I have given the Netgear router a static address of 192.168.1.55 and have set 192.168.1.1 (the Verizon router) as the primary gateway. Network magic incorrectly shows the Netgear as the Internet connection. Occasionally this will change and the Verizon router will be shown as the Internet gateway. When this happens all of my computers (wireless and wired) will show me connected to a new network. Is there some settings in either of these routers that I should check or change so that the Verizon router is consistently viewed as the gateway? Internet connectivity seems to be OK no matter which router Network Magic seems to think is the gateway. I can not address the Netgear router over the network for some reason (must physically attach it to a computer) Thanks for any help.

Hi, is DHCP disabled on your Netgear router?
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Internet/Ethernet network connection slows to a crawl

The last few days I've had a problem where the Internet network connection speed on my Power Mac slows to a crawl (about 1Mbps) and can only be fixed by re-starting the Mac which restores normal connexction performance for a while.
The Internet connection runs at around 35-37Mbps and is routed via a BT HomeHub 3. The laptops which connect via WiFi don't show any slowdown in speed tests, only the Mac Pro, which is connected to the Hub via Ethernet. I've tried swapping between the two Ethernet ports on the Mac but it doesn't make any difference. The HomeHub has been in for about 5 months but this problem has only just started in the last week or so and the period for which the restart restores the network performance seems to be decreasing.
Is there any way to reset network software, or some prefs I could delete?
It's an early 2008 eight-core Xeon MacPro running 10.6.8, 8GB RAM.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Some things to try...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Cured one slow one that way here...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16241503#16241503
Clear caches, Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.
Open Network Utility in Applications>Utilities>Info tab, select the correct Ethernet & what is the Link Speed & are there any Errors/Collisions on the right?
