Linksys 5-port Switch limited connection.

Hello... I am having a weird problem. I have a new linksys 5-port switch, I believe model GEB1040. Here is the path of internet connection. Starts with Cox Communications High Speed Internet, Motorola Surfboard modem, then the Linksys Switch. In the switch I have three computers connected. The Surfboard Modem is wired into the uplink slot. The three wired computers are wired into slots 1, 2 and 3 on the switch. Of the three computers, two show limited or no connection. Those two are both dell computers with one being a notebook Inspiron 5160 and the other being a desktop Dimension 1100. The third computer is, I believe a "mut" that was built by someone, with an MSI motherboard. That third computer works fine. That leads me to believe that some how the Dell computer and the linksys switch don't seem to like each other. How would one have anything to do with the other?
Are there settings that I can change to get this to work properly? Does anyone know the address to the switch, ie 192.168.*.*?
Thanks.

After reading your post it seems that your linksys switch is not a managed switch and it does not have any such address(192.168.*.*)...As you have connected the modem to the switch and three wired computers are wired into slots 1, 2 and 3 on the switch only one computer will be able to connect to the Internet as switch is not managing any DHCP and it can only provide the IP Address to one computer which is drawn from the modem...In simple words you don't need a switch you need a router...Replace the switch with a router...

EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch, can open homepages but cannot navigate anywhere else.

I recently installed a network for a friends business. They have 8 computers for their network. To start I connected the cable modem to a linksys wireless n router and then i have plugged in a EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch. Everything has been working fine for about a month until last week. Everything starts fine in the mornings when they turn on all the computers and continues to work fine for a couple of hours. After that they can open up their homepages (each computer has a different one) but when you try to go to another web page it can take up to 10 minutes or never load at all. If i restart the router and switch everything goes back to normal for several hours then happens again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Are you facing these problem on all your Wired Computer or certain wired computer? In these case i would suggest you to lower down the MTU size on your Router from 1500 to 1350 and then check if you face these same problem or not.
If the same problem persist then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.

Linksys X3500 - Port Forwarding (limited)

Hi everybody!
We have purchased 3 pieces of Linksys X3500.
One for us and a couple for an installer (our customer) who wants to make a wireless home network (for a couple of end users).
I have to tell you that we are a distributor for security systems (Tvcc and so on) in our area (north of Milan) and we have a lot of NVR and DVR on our network we need to put on-line as demos.
Today i start to configure the Modem/Router and i find no prob since i tried to add "some" port forwarding...
We have about 60 single ports to configure and the page of device is limited to not more than 15 (customized) slots!!
I was hoping the device was able to allow me to add more slots but it seams to be not possible!
How can i do?
(ps: i don't want to add an external firewall to do it!)

I wasn't talking about the algorithm of wireless but the one used for manage the priority of the traffic...(when devices are already connected)
and if there's an external device (hardware) that can do a better job (like a "Lan Controller" but cheapest).

Unix server 10/100 NIC, 3750G 48 port switch, cant connect

set up a 3750G switch, vlan1, encap dot1q, vlan 1 allowed trunk access...unix server has ethernet 10/100 NIC and cant communicate, cant ping the server but can ping all other servers/routers, switches, have internet access to all, this switch connects to another via fiber sfp to GBIC on the other......do I have to set a link speed on a specific port for this server to match the NIC's speed, or is that even possible? newbie here

Set the speed and duplex on the UNIX host and then on the switch set the speed and duplex and disable automdix.

Trying to connect an 8-port switch to one of the 3 ports on Time Capsule

but even the "connectivity" light is unlit.
cable modem into house gets patched to where i want TC for best signal.
using other ports to connect directly to MacBooks or PC give full gig speed
trying to patch one of the ports back to basement and into linksys 8 port gigabit switch that disperses to:
Two Wired Tivo Series 2 boxes (cause the wireless using WEP was too annoying)
additional PCs in various rooms.
anyone know how to address? all devices that need cabling through house are useless for now

This should work no problem - I've got a Pluscom gigabit switch connected to my TC. Previously had a USR 10/100 switch.
What happens if you connect the switch directly to the modem (with all the other devices disconnected, except for one computer)?
Has the switch worked previously, or is it new?
Has the cabling worked previously?
Since the TC's ethernet ports work with other devices, the fault must lie with the cabling or the switch. Try connecting the switch to the TC using a known working cable.

Cannot connect 4-port switch to hub3

Hi, recently had infinity installed and we are absolutely impressed with it and speeds in excess of 75down which is fantastic!
So the setup we have is the router downstairs, and an ethernet going from that to the 4-port switch which was all set up for us by the engineer.
What I wanted to do however, was to plug another 4-port switch (a white 'PEAK' branded wifi switch) into one of the 4 ports of the hub3 in order to increase the capacity up to 7 ethernet sockets.
This setup worked fine when we was with sky over on the old DSL line where the 4-port swtich simply went into skys netgear switch and worked automatic.
However, since switching to bt infinity, for whatever reason, this white switch will not work with BT's hub3. By plugging a computer into the white switch, i can access the actual routers setup page by typing in 192.168.1.254, and can access all the settings. The following settings come up...
INTERNET: Connection Method - DHCP
Internet IP Address: 192.168.1.67
LAN: IP Address 192.168.1.254
LAN: Network Mask 255.255.255.0
LAN DHCP Server: ON
But like I say, the switch, which has got a cable coming from one of the HUB3's 4 ports into my old white PEAK routers INTERNET port, will not allow my old switch to access the internet.
So im really confused. Why will my old switch not work on the BT Infinity HUB3?

Thanks for both your replies. I read them earlier in the day, and been trying a few things out...
1st, I tried plugging the hub3 into lan4 on the peak switch, and the other 2 (sky and roku), along with my laptop for testing purposes into 1, 2 and 3, and all worked great!
Well... all wasnt so great, the connection was sporadic and intermittent, ping was low, and throughput was fast, but it was on and off. A speedtest.net would stall, web links sometimes took 2 or 3 clicks, and so on.
So what have I learnt? Well, the fact that it has an internet port (which I was wrongly trying to use before), means that it isnt a basic switch.
So today, I went and bought http://www.tp-link.dk/products/details/?model=TL-SF1005D. Plugged that in the same way, and everything works perfect!
So now, I have the router (downstairs), plugged into the hub3 (upstairs via existing ethernet run throuth the stairs), 3 ports plugged into 2 pc's and 1 youview box, the 4th into a powerline socket upstairs,, with the other powerline socket plugged in downstairs behind the TV, connecting to the tp-link switch socket 5, with the sky+HD and Roku XL plugged into 1 and 2 on the switch respectively, and after testing I now everything running lightening fast with HD on demand, and the world is good
So thanks for both your advice, i learnt a bit today.

Using 79xx Phone PC access port to connect a Netgear 5 port switch

Cisco documentation indicates that on 79xx phones you can "Use the PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the phone". What types of problems might be encountered if that device is a Netgear Fast Ethernet Unmanaged FS105 five port switch? Is there any documentation indicating whether this "supported" or "not supported"?
I know that the speed on the devices connected to the Netgear will be cut to 10/100. The devices connected to the Netgear would include - at a minimum - a computer and a Cisco wireless access point. Other devices which might be connected could include additional computers and/or a printer.
The computer(s) would also need to access a distributed video stream daily.
We are running CallManager 8.6.2.21900-5 with phone types: 7940, 7941, 7945, 7965
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.

Will Cisco support you doing this? Not likely.
Will it work? I suppose, in theory, it should. Just don't complain if it doesn't.

RV180W loses port forwarding rules when switching WAN connections

We have a backup WAN connection in our office, but we switch this connection manually on our RV180W when the primary goes down. Our normal connection is ADSL with PPPoE, and the backup is Cable with DHCP.
However, we also have some port forwarding rules for our VoIP PBX (UDP port 5060) as well as SSH, and these rules seem to stop working completely when we switch our WAN connection to our cable connection. We can still surf the web from our workstations, but our incoming phone calls and SSH connections all cease to work completely. The problem does not persist after we've switched back to our normal ADSL connection.
This behaviour is completely bizarre and suggests that there's some kind of bug in the Cisco RV180W.

helm,
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear which IP address renewal I am speaking about.
I believe that the problem is caused when the router renews the WHS's local IP address (192.168...). My WAN IP address remains unchanged througout the tests I performed and the problems I experienced.
The very act of changing the local clients' lease time in the router's configuration causes the forwarding to be lost immediately. (I am gusessing that when the lease time is changed, the router immediately renews the lease and begins a new countdown.)
(In fact, I might go as far as to say it is a bug in the firmware, but I haven't done enough testing to nail it down.)

Best way to connect 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port Switches

Hello. I have 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port switches in a small office environment. Right now I have a trunk configured off my ASA 5505 to switch 1, and then just an access port configured on a port (switch 1) and an access port configured on a port (switch 2) to connect them together. These switches also have 2 GB SFP ports but they are not being used in this configuration.
I was curious to know if anyone had any better recommend configurations for connecting these 2 switches together? I'm not sure if this particular model can be stacked?

What are the exact model numbers (should be written on a sticker)?
You will know if they can be stacked as you will see the 2x stack ports on the back of each switch :)
If they can then that is probably the way to go unless you want to keep them as separate switches for some reason.
If you want them separate, I would connect them via a Trunk link at least so you can have the same Vlans on both.
Thanks

SG 300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch -Lan connectivity issues

Hello,
Our office lan running on 2 * SG 300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch.
PID VID:SRW2024-K9 V01
Firmware Version (Active Image):1.0.0.27
The users are seeing there connection to fileservers(mapped network drives) slowing down over the period.
We have to re-boot the offending switch to get the normal traffic back.
I have raised a ticket with cisco small business people and they said to upgrade the firmware to latest version.
But I am wondering why I need to upgrade this switch as the other switch which also brought at the same time with the same spec have no such issues.
Even if I decided to upgrade the firmware, they have recommended that I need to reset the switch to factory settings and try to put the previous configuration manually which is a worry for me.
I have logged on to the web console and I have found out, I can use TFTP or HTTP to backup the config,how do I use those services and what parameters i need to pass those to work, does using that functionality can rollback the switch to previous running configuration?
PS: Both the switch have connected together using a FC trunk with link aggregation eanbled.So how do I get all those settings back if I upgrade/rollback?
I just have to come up with some solution as it is affecting the business, so any help would be much appreciated.
Please see the attachment and let me know if any other info needed?
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Suji

Hi,
Please see the difference between the connected switches configuration.
Maybe the vlan 10 and 30 has been created wrongly.
Please see the config for both the switches and give me some advice/suggestions.
I really appreciate that.

Linksys E1500 limited connectivity to network

I have Vista Home on a laptop (all up to date) and when I try to set up wireless connection using a key it goes to 25% then times out. When I try to manually set up a connection I get limited connectivity and no internet. I have one other laptop with Win 7 and this connected with no problems, also one desk top connected with no problems. Kept getting the error 82BD0119 on the Vista laptop. Any suggestions???

So you can try the following steps So could please inform us the name of the ISP( Internet Service Provider )... So it all depends upon the ISP( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
If you want to configure the router with the help of the CD so for that you need to uninstall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...
Make the following connectivity Modem ----> Router -----> Computer... Then install the Cisco Connect Software... It will help you in configuring the Router...

How do i connect my 24 ports switch with e3000

hello everybody, i know its a newbies question....but there's always a begining...
I just bought a e3000 and I have a 24 ports switch. I would like to plug more than 8 pc...how do I proced ? I used to have a dlink router and just plug a cat5e from the dlint to the switch ... but it doesn't work with the e3000
thanx in advance....
Nay

It's an unmanaged switch. All you should have to do it plug it into a lan port of the router. Doesn't matter which port on the switch, there is no configuration of the switch.
What do you mean by not working? Are the link lights on? You aren't getting DHCP on clients on the switch or what's happening?

Cisco sg 100d unmanaged switch not connecting to network

I have a Cisco sg 100d-08 unmanaged switched that had been working just fine for several months but now devices attached to the network thru are no longer on the network. All lights are on indicating the ports are active. Tried power recycle but no joy. When I replaced the switch with an old Belkin model everything works fine. Is there anyway to reset this unmanaged switch or do I now just have an expensive paper weight?

When the management interface is part of VLAN x
Make sure that the management interface vlan id is set to 0 (untagged ) If the native vlan on the switch trunk connected to controller is vlan x. If the native vlan is something else make sure to tag the mangement interface vlan with x.
Another interesting thing that might happen with switch having the following command enabled:
SW(config)#dot1q tag native
In that case all trunk native vlan frames will be tagged , so you have to tag the management vlan on the controller as well in that case.
To be able to troubleshoot such connectivity problem, you should get the output of:
show run int
show interface <\\ > switchport
the latter command should be your best friend.
One recommondation, make sure to tag your management / ap-manager interface with vlan id to maintain QoS limiting based on dot1p values for downstream traffic from the wired side.
In the above scenario , If you can provide the output of show interface <\\> switchport
I should tell you why the recommended action solved your issue based on the above explanation, and if you would like I can maitain the tag for you.

Limited Connectivity after new printer

Hi,
In short, after adding a new laptop and wireless printer to the network, network access to all connected computers goes down whenever a computer boots up or awakens from sleep. After a few minutes, access is restored in full but this is very annoying. This all happened after adding the Dell wireless printer using the auto connect button on the WRT110 as per the printers instructions. Doing this connected the printer but killed access to all other computers.
The network consists of 3 wireless routers connected a couple years ago from a guide on this site. It has always worked flawlessly until I hit that button. I ended up doing a hard reset on the cable modem & the main router, pulling all the ethernet cables, and resetting the security pin. This allowed me to get online and I thought it was fixed till the windows 7 laptop went to sleep and woke up to the limited connectivity message, almost like a conflicting IP problem but have had no messages to confirm that. I also noted that by looking at the DHCP status from the WRT110's settings that it doesn't always show all connected computers even when they are accessing the internet.
The routers were hooked up so they could be seen as a single network and you could roam accross the property without switching networks. If I remember correctly, the 2 slave routers were hooked into the main router through the lan ports instead on wan ports. I can't say I completely remember or understand how it exactly worked, but it did. The only things that changed was adding a new windows 7 laptop and that Dell printer to the network. I didn't want to have to re-learn everything I went through to get it up and working before when it seems like the problem had to do with the new items added to the network. It seems to me like the DNS isn't working properly for some reason.
Some network details:
All connected via DHCP unless noted otherwise
WRT110
Cable modem via wan.
Wii console via lan
Vista Laptop via wlan
Windows 7 laptop via wlan
Dell printer via wlan
WRT54G
Windows XP / ubuntu desktop via lan (Static IP)
xubuntu / Windows XP laptop via wlan (Static IP)
LG TV via lan
WRT110 via lan
WRVS4400N
Windows XP desktop via lan
WRT110 via lan
The WRVS4400N hasn't been turned on over the winter as its' connected desktop is not really used any more, but its' wireless is used often in the summer as it's the closest AP to the garage.
Any help on this would be most appreciated as I don't have much hair left to pull out. I'm not opposed to setting up the network from scratch again, but want to know I'd have some guidance before trying to do so again.
Many Thanks,
E

Well I didn't get a change to update firmware today unfortunately. Will probably be Monday now as we have company all weekend.
In my hunt for the original guide I used, (from this site) I was unable to find it again. I found others that were not nearly as informative as the one I followed, but didn't explain about the pros and cons of setting it up lan to lan vs. lan to wan. The guide I followed also went into setting up differnt wireless channels and was way more informative than anything I've been able to locate this time around. I would be very appreciative if anyone knew where I could locate this guide again. I'm certain I had it bookmarked, but may have lost it with my HDD failure this past year and wasn't backed up.
Lastly, I realize I "could" use my other router as the main wan router, I just wondered if there was any advantage in doing so. I was also trying to find out which of the 3 routers had the best real world range, as I would use it to get a better connection in my garage.
Thanks again, and regardless I will still report back after the firmware update, and whether it fixed the problem.
