Linksys router and IP address problem

My linksys router is sending out a fake IP address of 24.124... Is there any way to set it so it sends out something else? I'm trying to access a chat server which banned ALL 24.124 addresses because of some hacker doing a number on their server. I really want to get in without having to buy another router. I have a WRT54G V5

If the router is not giving the 192.168.1.x ip, the router might be acting as a pass through already and needs a firmware upgrade. If the firmware upgrade will not save the router, it might be defective.

Linksys Router and Screen Sharing Problems

Hello,
I know that problems with Linksys routers and ichat video/screen sharing have been covered here and there in this forum, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
If I can connect find on a LAN between two Macs, but then get a connection error when attempting screen sharing/video over the internet, what settings should I change on the Linksys?
Thanks in advance.

The Linksys Firewall is normally Off by default.
There are those that try Pinging IP addresses for various reasons.
A Malformed Ping (Ping of Death) can bring down your connection.
To a certain extent this does then become a question of whether you are a big enough target or if someone discovers your IP and tries to do anything about it.
Most will be looking for access to Windows computers so your Mac it that sense will protect itself.
In about 6 years on Broadband with a Constant On Connection none of the modems I have had have reported a a Ping attack and I have had thousands of contacts with people via iChat some of which will have my IP in their Logs.

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network. what do i need to do?

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network. What do I need to do? Thanks for your help.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

WRT54GS Router and IP Address Madness

I currently have my laptop hard wired thru my Linksys router and on to my modem without any issues (connects to my ISP just fine) . I am attempting to get my laptop setup wirelessly to the same router. Using the 192.168.1.1 url to access the Linksys configuration pages for my router, I believe I have configured everything correctly. When I go to the Linksys Status page I have the following items configured:
Router   auto config DHCP
              ip addr 24.17.123.165
              subnet 255.255.248.0
              default gateway 24.17.120.1
              dns1 68.87.69.146
              dns2 68.87.85.98
Local Area Network IP Address 192.168.1.1
                                  subnet 255.255.255.0
                                  DHCP Server Enabled
                                  Start IP 192.168.1.100
                                  End IP   192.168.1.149
Client Table mylaptop
                     IP Addr 192.168.1.101
Wireless      Mode mixed
                     SSID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     DHCP Enabled
                     Channel 11
                     Encrypt Enabled
When I try to connect wirelessly I get a LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY message. I assume that if I am using the auto configure option the network did not assign an address to the computer?????
When I look at the Network Connection details it shows the following:
   IP address 169.254.108.146
subnet          255.255.0.0
   default gateway   NONE
   DNS Server         NONE
   WINS Server       NONE
I am sure this is the culprit but I don't know what to do to fix the problem.
I also did an ipconfig/all which also showed the same IP Address, subnet, and lack of default gateway address. I tried to do a ipconfig/reset and a ipconfig/renew with out any luck. It kept reseting the IP Address to 169.254.108.146.
I am stuck and would appreciate any advice. Thanks

As you posted you are using WEP enabled wireless settings .... check on the router setup page ... the WEP key .... Use the same wep key on the Laptop to connect to the network ....
If still you are facing the same error .... assign static Ip to the wireless network connection .... & see if it shows connected or not...

Issue with Linksys Router and Modem with Vonage Device

Hello,
I have a Linksys Router and Cable Modem. Plus I have Vonage for my home phone. I have been having several problems and now, my Vonage phone will not work at all. I have cable internet and my ISP is Cox Commuication. I do not know how to connect my Vonage device with my Router and Modem. People have been giving me advice, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone know how to intergrate all three of these items together? Basically which plug goes where. Currently my phone is not working. The only thing that is in use right now is my linksys cable modem. I have the power cord plugged in, the blue cord from the modem plugged into my laptop, and the cable from the modem to the wall jack. Please help. Thank-You!

Can't establish a network with Wireless-G Linksys router and Macs

I have a Wireless-G Linksys router and two Macs. My DSL cable is connected to the modem, the modem to the router w/Ethernet cable, and the router to a desktop Mac out of port 1. With this setup, I can usually -- not always -- connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook, but then the desktop Mac cannot connect to the internet. Either Mac connects to the internet when hooked up directly to the DSL modem. I have reset the modem. I have connected to the router's console and everything seems to be in order.The PowerBook can connect to the internet through the wireless router as described above, so there don't seem to be any Mac/PC incompatibility issues at work.My local gurus and my ISP are stumped. Any suggestions?

Then , Connect the MACINTOSH Computer to Port 1 or
Port 2 on the Router.Hope you are Online. Now,
Open a new Internet Browser Page, and in the address bar,
type http://192.168.1.1, press return, And when asked for
Username and Password,
Leave the Username blank and in the Password field,
type admin . This will help you access the Router's
Console. Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top,
Rename the SSID from ' Linksys' to your preferred name.
Save the Settings.
Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top,
Then Click the Sub Tab in the Blue Line ' Wireless Security '

Set the Security Mode to WEP, Default Key as Key 1,
Encryption Mode as ' 64 Bits10 Hex Digits ' ,
Leave the Passphrase blank, Type a 10 digit Key
[ can contain 0-9, A-F ] in WEP Key 1 Field alone,
Copy the Key on a piece of paper for your reference,
Save the Settings. Now, Make your Computer Wireless.
Restart it. Once the Computer has restarted,

ITouch loses router and DNS addresses?

I have had my iTouch for about a week and it connected to my wireless network for the first three days flawlessly. Since that time, it will only connect sporadically and I have noticed that when it doesn't connect, it is because the router and DNS addresses have disappeared in the wireless window in Settings. I can get them back occasionally by renewing lease in this window, but more often than not, renewing lease does not reestablish these addresses.
I reset the iTouch through itunes, but this did not solve the problem.
Additional information. The iTouch has the full signal (maximum number of bars). I am using an airport extreme as my base station. I have three macs that I connect to the wireless network through the base station. I have a few airport expresses that are connected to audio equipment or video game units. All of these continue to work well and have no problem connecting to the wireless network.
Your help/thoughts would be most appreciated.

Is your router broadcasting its SSID? If not, try enabling that because the Touch often has a hard time remembering a network if it is hidden. Hiding your SSID is very minimal security, so there's really no point to hiding it.

Linksys Router and WHS 2011

I am looking at replacing my Netgear WNDR3800 router with a Linksys router. The Netgear 3800 router is NOT 100% compatible with WHS 2011. I would like the new Linksys router and WHS 2011 to be compatible wtih each other.   When I say "compatible", I want the WHS 2011 to auto detect the Linksys router and automatically setup the configuration.   This would include the UPnP settings as well.
I am looking at the EA6500 router as a replacement.   Anybody use the EA6500 and WHS 2011?

Apparently, there is another POST with someone having EA6500 and WHS 2011.   In the POST, it wasn't clear if the EA6500 fully supports WHS 2011 or the other way around. I know the Linksys WRTxx supports WHS.   I am not lookning to go back in time.   I don't want to buy an older router with less features than to buy a newer router with new features added to it.   I want to invest in a newer router that is compatible with WHS 2011.
The new EA6500 should be compatible with WHS 2011 and UPNP is enable by default so that's should be good to go. I found this site from the internet so you could also try to do some test first, http://connecteddigitalworld.com/2009/08/15/how-to-check-your-broadband-router-compatibility-for-win...

Please help... Linksys router and Imac help

I just switched to Mac, but I might be returning the Imac and getting a Dell or something because it's getting a little ridiculous.
My IP address on my Linksys router is not being recognized by the airport in my new Imac. It took FOREVER for me to get this to work and now it has crapped out 2 times in the last 4 days. I am about to take this new Mac back to the store and go back to a Dell.
Here is a basic description of what is happening:
When I do a diagnostic test I click on Airport and it is saying that the airport signal is fine (green dots), but it doesn't find the IP address. I select my network name that the Airport is picking up and still nothing. I can even get online by selecting a different wi-fi signal from someone that lives close to me too. It's obviously something with my Linksys router that does not work well with my Mac.
Also, even when my Mac doesn't get online, my Ps3 and 360 both still do so I know it is the computer/router that is the problem.
I try unplugging the router, modem, restarting...etc. but it just seems so wierd that it goes off like that.... It's also very annoying, because then I have to hear from my wife about that we spent $1500 on a computer that won't get online some of the time, when I can still get online on my PS3 and 360.
By the way, when I am not connected to the internet Safari will NOT let me put in the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to get to my router settings. But I did check them from my PS3 and the "clone my MAC" thing is still enabled.
Apple's software update tells me there's no new software available for my machine, which leaves me with no idea what's causing this or how to fix it.
Any advice, solutions, or tips are greatly appreciated.
Can anyone please help me??? If this is going to be a continuous problem, I am taking the computer back and getting a new Dell or something since we mostly use the computer for the internet functions.
Anybody please help???

Wirless Router and Bellsouth DSL Problems

Hi,
I purchased the wrt54gx2 router and I have Bellsouth DSL service. I am not very knowledgable about networks and wireless but I purchased this several months ago and I have had several friends take a look and as well as placed calls to Linksys and Bellsouth and can not get this thing to work...its becoming very frustrating. I have a Dell PC with XP that is connected to a Westell modem and can access the internet with no problem however I go through the set up procedure and connect the PC to the WRT54 wich goes to the Westell and No internet through my PC. My hope is to have my PC as a base and use my laptop to roam the house.
My friend that has cable ISP took my WRT54 to his house and pluged it in and was up and running to his laptop in less than 5 minutes.
There is obviously some problem between the modem and router. I have seen talk about PPPoE, Bridge Ethernet, checkin IP address, etc, etc.
Anyone having a similar problem or can anyone please help with some advice??
PLLLeeease!!!

There isn't usually a problem with a Bellsouth DSL... hmmm anyway in your case, how do you log in to the internet through your modem? Do you log in or do you just connect and plug and it goes? Anyway try going to start--control panel---network connections... what items are listed here?

SG300 inter-VLAN routing and MAC address changes in incoming packets

Hello
I have SG300-20 working in Layer3 mode
VLAN1 is not used
Internet gateway is in VLAN211
Clients are in other VLANs
Switch is default gateway for clients and itself has internet gateway as default route.
MAC address of switch is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63
When client sends trafic to Internet destination MAC address in outgoing packets is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63
But in incoming packets source MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:69
Why does it change? And how can I setup switch to use only XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63 MAC address?

Hi Robert,
I'd like to pick up this old thread because we have a huge problem with the behavior of the SG300 router/switch regarding the "spoofed" MAC source addresses. We have connected this switch to another router which has some special routing capabilities. It routes certain IP packets directly to MAC addresses which it learned from snooping on special traffic.
When connected to a SG300 router with an Ethernet base address of XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48 we receive packets with Ethernet source addresses like e. g. XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:49 or XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:4D (depending on which hardware port they came from). Our special router "learns" these MAC addresses and tries to send associated outgoing packets directly to these addresses using e. g. XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:49 as the MAC destination address.
Our problem is that the SG300 does not forward the packet if the MAC destination address is not equal to the switch's Ethernet base address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48 in our case). This renders the SG300 series useless for our systems.
Is there new firmware available which fixes this problem for us? We don't care which MAC source address the SG300 uses in incoming packets we receive, but we expect that the SG300 handles packets correctly for outgoing packets we send with this MAC address as the destination address.
Thanks,
Chris

Has anyone enabled time machine using a linksys router and external hard drive? And if so how?

Has anyone enabled time machine using a link sys router and external hard drive? And if so how? I have a Linksys E4200 wireless router with a usb port on it. I also have a Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive. I would like to be able to use this hard drive with time machine. Has anyone done so and if so how can I do so?

You might get some responses, but we don't see many Linksys users on an Apple forum so it may be awhile before you see an answer.
It might be useful to point out that Apple does not even support Time Machine backups to the USB port on their own AirPort Extreme wireless router, so we may be heading down a very slippery slope here.
I've tried Time Machine backups on an AirPort Extreme router a number of times in the past. It's just not reliable. Works for awhile, then has corruption problems. Or has corruption issues immediately. I once went a month or so and thought I had it nailed, then got smacked with a corrupted set of backups again.
But, I guess you never know. It might work on the Linksys. If you decide to try this, I would suggest that you have another backup plan in place for your important data.
Hope that some Linksys users will respond so we can all learn.

Router and Wireless Ps3 Problems. Please help.

well ok i had a previous router, wireless, and it work well with my ps3. Then i found out hey wait, my NAT type 3 is preventing me from playing with my friends. So i tried to fix it. Well something went wrong and my router just completely failed on me. So i went and bought a Linksys WRT160N. Bam it was amazing. My internet work on my ps3 and computer. But yet i still had a NAT type3. The only positive thing was i now had uPnP avaliable. So i went to try and fix my NAT type....then something went wrong again. Today i was opening the ports b/c someone said open your ports to change NAT 3 to NAT 2. Then all of a sudden i try my connection on my ps3 and it says Error 8013013E, cannot reach the access point. It wouldnt even get the Ip Adress. Everything is typed in right and the WPA security, but still cant connect to the access point. Plus if this helps, when i try to do the Wi-Fi Protective Setup, it says failed. I was thinking about just returning the router to its manufactured state but i dont know how. Any suggestions??

I think the ports on your router are not opened properly, that's the reason the NAT type on your PS3 is set to NAT3.
To make your PS3 work with your Router, follow the steps bellow.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter... Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 80 and End box type in 80, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
2) On the second line in Application box type in DEF, in the start box type in 443 and End box type in 443, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
3) On the third line in Application box type in GHI, in the start box type in 5223 and End box type in 5223, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
4) On the fourth line in Application box type in JKL, in the start box type in 3478 and End box type in 3479, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
5) On the fifth line in Application box type in MNO, in the start box type in 3658 and End box type in 3658, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
6) On the sixth line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 10070 and End box type in 10080, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings
7) Now assign the given ip address on your PlayStation ip address :- 192.168.1.20, subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0, default gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
8) Also assign the dns addresses on the PlayStation Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
9) Turn off your modem, router, and PlayStation...Wait for a minute...
10) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the PlayStation and test it...

Apple TV2, Linksys Router, Preferred IP Addresses not being taken

I'm setting up every internet enabled device in my household on a preferred IP address inside my linksys router. This is in case of any future use where I may need to port forward to a specific device. I am setting up the preferred IP addresses in the Linksys instead of adding Manual addresses to each individual item as not only does that add to the process, it's not very friendly when trying to change the order of IP addresses I have done, or if a new item is added to the household. Plus Manual addresses can be deceiving if there are network errors.
The devices we have: iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPad 3rd Gen, Airport Express, Apple TV2, Mac Mini and a PS3.
The Router: Linksys WRT120N fw1.0.07
The Linksys requires the MAC addresses of each device to assign the preferred IP Address to each individual device. I have even gathered up the Wifi and Ethernet adaptors MAC addresses for the items applicable. All devices are properly eing assigned the right IP address... but no matter what I try, the Apple TV2 always pulls a basic 192.168.1.100 IP even though its airport MAC address is assigned to grab 192.168.1.143 and ethernet is 192.168.1.142. Neither the ethernet nor the wireles settings of the ATV2 grab the right ones.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, how did you finally push the right preferred IP address to the device. (Keep in mind that I want to grab the items automatically, I want to have the linksys supply the preferred IP and not have the ATV2 grab a manual address)

Hi… Make sure that you have entered the MAC address of your Range Expander under MAC filter. You don’t need the filtering to be done on Range Expander. Try changing other wireless settings such as Channel to 11 etc… Also make sure that you are assigning an IP address that is in the range of the router. Go to wireless network connection properties, under wireless network, click advance button and select ‘access point, infrastructure networks only’. I think this should solve the issue. Upgrade the firmware on the router and range expander if needed.
