Modem loses PPPoE connection
My Zoom ADSL 5654 modem keeps losing its connection with the PPPoE server. Every time I pick up the phone or hang up it's able to get its line sync--but about every third time, it can't also reestablish a connection. "System Status" says the PPPoE connection is down.
It also occurs sometimes when I haven't used the phone at all.
I can restore it by running the diagnostic test.
I've done what Zoom suggests: establishing a new location in Network Preferences. Doesn't work. The tech support guy didn't know what else to suggest, but he did say that restoring the connection with the diagnostics made no sense. Yet it works.
This may be relevant: Zoom modems store PPPoE login data and seem to control the logging in; in Network Preferences, DHCP is on and PPPoE is off. It's what the instructions direct, and it works most of the time.
What could be going on here? I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Powerbook G4 17-inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Hi there
I have a similar problem - my connection drops if I use the phone. My belief is that this is not a mac problem but the adsl connection. I have been on a 1mb service for some years and recently had this service upgraded to 4mb. The problem started as soon as the 4mb came online (never had the problem with the 1mb service). I have been fighting with my isp and with the line provider to establish where the problem lies for three months to no avail. If I ever get an answer to this I'll post here.
Regards

Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac
My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.
Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product. -
Connecting printer to TC makes me lose internet connection
When trying to connect my Canon Pixma MP550 to the Time Capsule, I encountered a mysterious problem: I can print from my MBP via TC but I am losing the internet connection (the DSL light on my ADSL modem starts to blink and the AirPort Utility says that there is a problem with the PPoE connection.
Anyone having the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!I have discovered that the problem was probably not related to the printer (even if other USB devices like memory sticks work when plugged in the TC). When trying to do a faster Time Machine backup and connecting my laptop to the TC with an Ethernet cable, the same thing happens - my modem loses Internet connection. Very curious, and to the date noone has been capable to find a solution...

When my daughter tries to connect to our home wifi, she has to be in the basement within 5 feet of our modem. Once she comes upstairs she loses the connection. All of our other devices connect to the wifi on all levels of our house, including her Dad who also got an iphone 4 and her ipod works as well as her brother's ipod and my blackberry. I have tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I have already had our modem rebooted through our internet provider so I know the signal is good (as well as all other devices connect to wifi) I am losing sleep over this and she is quite frustrated so any help would be appreciated. I'm starting to wonder if it's a defect in her phone???
Is her iPhone in a case by any chance? If so, remove the case and try again. How does her iPhone work in free Wi-Fi locations?
Try resetting the iPhone...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
If none of the above work take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation. She will not be charged folr this and they will suggest a solution if there is a fault. -
Trying to setup PPPoE connection
Hi guys.
I've got a Netcomm NB5 modem/router and WRT610n.
I decided to upgrade the NB5 firware, change admin password, and change the way the NB5 and WRT610n talk to each other.
My current setup is as follows:
NB5 has a local IP of 192.168.0.1
WRT has Internet IP of 192.168.0.2
I have created Static Routes (RIP) for each device, since the local WRT IP address and all my other nodes are on the 192.168.1.x network.
This has worked ok so far, as long as I use OpenDNS.org for my DNS servers. The WRT610n provides DHCP, while the NB5 has DHCP disabled. The WRT is setup as a Static connection.
What I would prefer is to setup the NB5 in Bridge mode, so that it does nothing besides modem funtions. I did that easily enough. I changed the WRT610n connection to PPPoE and entered in the username + pw. The WRt610n connected to the Internet without a hitch. I was able to ping and tracert to www.google.com and www.experts-exchange.com without any issues.
I changed the WRT610n DHCP so that the new DNS server is the WRT (192.168.1.2). My computers can ping 192.168.1.2 and can access each other - but they can't ping any web hosts. Internet doesn't work. The computers are set to DHCP - I've tried using my XP Pro laptop over wireless and my Vista desktop (cable).
I've tried pinging web addresses and Internet IPs (ie the modem's default gateway, and the OpenDNS servers) without any success, so it's not a DNS issue (yet). Any idea where the faul lies? Thanks in advance.
I've also had issues with the WiFi dropping out. Main reason fro upgrading to this router was that my old Wireless-B router wasn't fast enough for the number of devices using it (2 laptops, phone, PS3, Wii, etc). Since I like to stream movies from my PC (1Gbps connection) to my PS3, I figured the extra speed would be handy, plus my laptop supports 5GHz WiFi. Often when watching a video on the PS3, I will get the error "A network error has occurred" and playback stops. If I press the circle button and launch the video again - it immediately resumes playback from where it stopped. Sometimes when attempting to copy large files from one pc to another, it also drops out, not in the sense that I completely lose the connection - but in the sense that I get a File copy error due to a network error. Perhaps there's FirmWare out to fix this - I haven't checked just yet, but I'm off to bed for now.Download Firmware 7.27 MB...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
As your modem is set to Bridge mode make sure it is connected to the router's internet port...Access your router set-up and select the internet connection type to PPPoE and enter your username and password, click Save Settings, click on the router status tab and check the Internet IP Address(it should be public and not private)..If it is public you should be able to connect to Internet...Make sure to leave the DHCP Enabled...

Software Update fails repeatedly, loses PPPoE
MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, AirPort Extreme router, AT&T DSL.
Trying to update software in last two days has failed within seconds every time I click "install [x] item[s]". Other internet access is fine, and I've made no changes to my router, modem, or DSL service -- all of which have been in place for many months. Downloading songs from iTunes and PDFs from websites works. My iPod Touch seems fine.
Shortly after I start a download from Software Update, progress on the current file stops, my AirPort "time connected" monitor freezes then disappears, and eventually Software Update says it couldn't complete the download. The AirPort icon shows "Looking for PPPoE host" then "Connected via PPPoE" and the time monitor reappears and starts counting again. However, when I restart the download in Software Update, the same thing happens again.
Using advice on apparently related topics, I tried adding OpenDNS servers in my Network config, but it made no visible difference.
(Note: I also lose the PPPoE connection when waking up the laptop, but that's intermittent and I can recover manually if necessary. This Software Update failure is consistent, completely repeatable, and an apparent dead end.)Downloaded and applied the firmware patch directly - on the second attempt it did actually succeeded.
Not sure why this has been such an issue as all other software applies without issue. Any way if you have this issue search the support site for the firmware download and apply yourself. -
WRT54GS2 and Siemens ADSL modem - dropping Internet connection
I am having an internet connection issue. I have a Win98 Desktop directly connected to an ADSL modem - SIEMENS Speetstream 4100. That connection works well.
I had a WRT54G (old school, blue and black) wireless router connected to it which allowed me to use my WinXP laptop in the house. I then upgraded the router to a WRT54GS2, and now I lose the connection to the internet every minute or so while connected through that. The connection between the modem and the router goes down, not the connection to either the desktop (wireless) or the laptop. And if I switch to direct connection through the modem, I get a solid, reliable connection to the Internet.
Is there some problem with the SIEMENS ADSL modem and the Linksys router not playing nice together?
I have tried ipconfig /release and /renew on both my laptop and the desktop, I have turned off all computers, modem, and router, and powered back up in the correct order: Modem, router, desktop and laptop.
Here's the output of ipconfig /all when my laptop is connected directly through the ADSL modem:

Why does the new WRT54GS2 lose internet connectivity when a direct connection through the modem does not lose connectivity and the old one was reliable?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Your ADSL modem is in half-bridge mode. It does the PPPoE connection and then passes the IP addresses, etc. through DHCP to the device connected. Several people seem to have problems with different routers and these modems.
I would suggest you reconfigure the ADSL modem into full bridge mode (i.e. the modem works really like a simple modem and does not connect to the internet itself). In full bridge mode you should be able to configure your router with PPPoE and connect to the internet directly. That should work better.
If the ADSL modem is intelligent enough it may automatically switch to full-bridge mode if you configure the router for PPPoE.
You should see the difference in the DNS servers which the router got. In half-bridge mode the ADSL modem seems to assign its own IP address 192.168.0.1 as DNS server. If you connect directly to your ISP you should see the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers. -
I lose wireless connectivity when I connect the nano to my PC
I have a DSL modem connected by ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. My PC has USB linksys antenna. The wireless connection works fine except when I plug in the Nano, it takes about two seconds and I lose the connection to the router. If we are in itunes downloading it is suspended. If we are on the internet the next click and the Microsoft "you are not connected to the internet" page comes up. To reestablish the internet connection I have to remove the nano and reboot the PC. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
If I reboot with the cable attached I get an error unable to run an ____.exe that I believe is the antenna setup because the linksys monitor stays gray in the startup box.
I have tried to move the antenna to a different USB port on the PC with no luck. Everything else runs fine.
Does anyone out there have any ideas/fixes? - Your assistance is greatly appreciated!thanks deggie for your answer.
I had my ipod with autosync off ... I set it "manage like disk" .
I try to recover the music with 2 programs: "ephod" and "copy trans" ..
I can see all the songs listed, but can´t backup to disk or recover them......
I see than my ipod hasn´t the folder "ipod_control" , which appears before I had this problem....
Any idea ??? Thanks again. -
Hello,
I have to use a PPPoe Connection with my ISP and have some troubles setting up the Airport Express. I can only use the Airport in Bridge Mode and DHPC and authenticate the PPPoE on the mac individually. With this solution, no second computer can be set up to use internet at the same time.
I want the Airport Expres to authenticate and pass on "free internet" so that I can connect as many devices as I wish in a normal manner (without PPPoE). However, as soon as I put all the relevant information into the Airport Express, no Internet is coming through anymore. I can connect the computers to the Airport, but there is no interet and the Airport Utility will tell me the same in its settings.
What can I do? A support member in the apple store told me there is no way to authenticate with the Airport Express but could not tell me what the Airport Express' PPPoE setting was there for in the first place. My ISP told me many customers use Airport Express Routers and that there should not be any problem.
I am stuck:(
Thanks for your help in advanceThe AirPort Express can support PPPoE regardless of what the Apple Store employee told you.
To configure the Express to do so you will need to use the AirPort Utility:
AirPort Utility > Select the Express > Edit
Internet tab > Connect Using: PPPoE
Enter the appropriate PPPoE information that your ISP has provided you in the fields on this tab.
Click on Update and allow the Express to restart.
The important thing about PPPoE is that only the device that is directly connected to the Internet should be configured of providing the PPPoE credentials, all other devices should be configured for using DHCP. Note: I am assuming that your AirPort Express is the only router in your current network configuration and that it is directly connected to an Internet modem and not another router upstream of it. -

Sometimes modems refuse the connection to routers. If they will connect to another device, such as a PC, then you can clone the MAC of that PC to the router to trick the modem into 'thinking' that the PC is connecting. This is usually done on a DHCP connection, although I have seen it work with PPPoE as well.
You should never see any issue with the PC and router having the same MAC because they are on completely different networks. The router is on the ISP network (WAN) and the PC is on the LAN network of the router. We use this trick all the time when we can't get a modem to play nice with a router. If there was danger of conflict the functionality would not be in every consumer and SMB router available. (That I am aware of) I will not guarantee that it will work but it is certainly worth a try.
I have seen cases where a certain brand/model of modem will not under any circumstances work with the router. In that case you can either replace the modem or replace the router.

Macbook airport pppoe connecting
Hi,
I've had a problem with my Macbook Pro Airport utility ever since my Apple Time Capsule router dropped internet yesterday. The router issue resolved itself after a modem restart, and the internet works fine now. All other computers and devices can access the internet fine, and in fact my Macbook Pro is connected to the network and can access the internet just fine (I'm typing this on it now).
However, ever since, the little wifi indicator in my menu bar has had the radiating black lines like it's still searching for the network, and my wifi network has an arrow besides its name instead of the connection strength. When I click on the arrow I see a pop up window with some options, and the greyed out message 'pppoe connecting'. Google searching this message seems to suggest that if pppoe isn't connected, I shouldn't have working internet, so I'm confused.
There doesn't seem to be any actual problem, everything is working fine, except that the constantly flashing lines in the menu bar are annoying me and they don't normally do that!
Any suggestions as to what's going on would be appreciated.Ok, you should just need to enter 192.168.1.245 into your browser's address window, and you should be greeted with a request for a username & password. Leave the username blank and enter "admin" (without the quote marks) for the password...should get you in.
Do you have your WAP's User Guide handy? No problem if you don't, it would just make it easier to see the same screens when I try to explain what values need to set.
Assuming that you are now at the WAP's Setup/Network Setup page: (ref: UG, page 38)
Device Name: The default name is fine.
Configuration Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP
The other values on this page (IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc.) are automatically assigned.
Going to the Setup/AP Mode tab: (ref: UG, page 40)
Enable (select) Access point (default)
Going to the Wireless tab: (ref: UG, page 43)
Mode: Mixed
Network Name (SSID): This is what you'll see when you look for a network when you are accessing it via AirPort. You can use the default name, or I suggest make it something unique that means something to you...to distinguish it from the others that may be near you at your dorm.
Channel: The default is 6. If you have others near you using wireless, they most likely will be defaulted to 6 as well. To prevent interference, pick another, like 11, or your favorite number, from the available range.
SSID Broadcast: This allow the name of you network to be "broadcast" so you (& other) can find it quickly. Unless you want to share your connection, and to make it more secure, you should disable this feature. You can still find it in AirPort by selecting other and typing in the name. Your call.
Ok, that's quite a bit for now. If you need to keep your wireless secure, I can take you thru the steps for using encryption. -
Disconnect Airport Extreme PPPoE Connection
Hello!
I'm using the current configuration:
DSL Link -> SpeedStream ADLS modem -> Airport Extreme -> Computers
My Airport Extreme is configured to establish the PPPoE connection (the modem is bridged).
However I don't find an option to disconnect the PPPoE of the airport if I wish to.
The given options are:
-Always on (dials and stays connected forever)
-Automatic (dials on demand, and disconnect if idle)
-Manual (does nothing...)
I though this Manual option should have some sort of Connect/Disconnect Button or menu option, but I can find nowhere... Oddly enough, if this option is set, the AEBS doesn't connect and I never get an IP...
My question is: how do I manually connect/disconnect my PPPoE connection?
It can also be an Applescript funcion, whatever works...
thanks!!
PS: I tried to bridge the AEBS and relay the PPPoE to Mac OSX 10.5.4... but it can't find the PPPoE server in this case.
PS2: Mac OSX 10.4 had an Utility called Internet Connection, which supposedly had an option to disconnect the airport... but 10.5 removed this app.One last try...
Configure a computer located near the DSL modem to connect wirelessly to your network and by Ethernet cable to a switch sitting between the DSL modem and the router. Remotely control this computer and use it to change the configuration in the DSL modem when you want to disconnect or reconnect your network from the Internet without restarting the router. -
Unable to configure Linksys E2500 to use PPPoE connection
I am using the Ubuntu Linux 12.04 operating system and have been able to use the Linksys E2500 router with Automatic Configuration – DHCP setting and my modem in PPPoE mode to use my DSL connection. But I would like to be able to use my router with the PPPoE connection setting so I can use a firmware like Tomato which has more advanced features like bandwidth logging.
I was able to log into the configuration page of my SpeedTouch ST516 modem and set it to bridge mode according to the instructions here: http://www.speedtouch.ca/bridgemode.php
I then tried to set up the router to use PPPoE according to the instructions here: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3687
I get the message "Can not get an IP address from PPPoE" again when I try to set up the connection in step 4. Resetting the router does not help. I also tried running 'sudo service networking restart' and the 'sudo dhclient -r; sudo dhclient' in Ubuntu's terminal but still got the same message.
I double checked that I used right login information and vpi from my ISP. I used the same info to configure the modem to PPPoE mode again so I can connect to the internet. I had to reset the modem back to factory defaults using the reset button at the back to access the modem configuration page after I disconnected the ethernet cable from the router and plugged it into the modem.
Is there a possible bug with using PPPoE with this router? Is there anything else I can try besides what is stated in the instructions linked to above?jaymay
"If you are getting an error "Can't get an IP from PPPoE Server", that would mean that it's possible that the account information you've typed in is incorrect or the modem is not set properly to bridged mode. You can test this by connecting your computer directly to the modem and create a PPPoE dialer. If it will let you connect successfully then you are using the correct username and password. If not then you might have to verify the correct info from your ISP."
> Again, "I double checked that I used right login information and vpi from my ISP. I used the same info to configure the modem to PPPoE mode again so I can connect to the internet." And yes I was also able to connect with a PPPoE dialer and computer directly connected to the modem.
"It could be possible that what you just need to do in the router is to change it's LAN IP address to a different range compared to what you are getting from the modem to avoid IP conflict. For more information about setting up the router with DSL connection, you may refer to this link: Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection."
> That link is exactly the same link in my sentence: "I then tried to set up the router to use PPPoE according to the instructions here: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3687"
The router ip address used is set to http://192.68.2.1 which differs from the ip addresses of the modems I tried. -
Lose broadband connection after waking from sleep
I use Power Mac G5 OSX10.3.9 to connect to the internet, via Sky Broadband (in the UK) and Netgear DG834GT modem with ethernet cable (not wireless). I can connect with no problem and everything is fine, as long as I keep my G5 on or shut it down completely and turn it back on again later. However, if I put it to sleep for more than half an hour, then, when I wake it up, I lose broadband connection. The connection is still alive for a few seconds after I wake up, and other computers connected to the same modem can connect AS LONG AS THE G5 IS STILL ASLEEP. But it appears that the act of G5 trying to connect back to the internet kills the connection. Rebooting G5 doesn't help. The only thing I can do to reconnect once I lose it is to reboot the modem (by turning it off and turning it back on).
I cannot determine whether this is a problem with the modem or with the G5. Any idea? Thanks.I quite serendipitously discovered what was causing the problem and how to stop it, although it's not a solution per se. I am explaining what I discovered in detail below in the hope that it might help future users who might encounter the same problem.
When you log on to http://192.168.0.1, you are connected to the Netgear DG834GT router itself (after typing in the username and password). On the "router status" page, there is a button called "show statistics." If you click on this, you open a window with a running display of statistics on the phone line, like upstream and downstream noise margins and line attenuation. The line is scanned every 10 seconds to give updated information in real time.
I always had this page open on my desktop, because I was having problems with line noise and wanted to know the current status of the line and its noise margin at all times. When the noise margin was low, my connection speed was incredibly slow.
I discovered that it was the "show statistics" page open that cause the loss of connection when I wake up the computer. If I don't have the "show statistics" page open, I don't lose the connection when I put G5 to sleep and then wake it up.
I tried it with different browsers and discovered that Safari and Netscape do not have the same problem. I do not lose connection even if I have the "show statistics" page open in Safari or Netscape. It only happens with Firefox (which I usually use) and Mozilla. If I have the "show statistics" page open either in Firefox or Mozilla, then I ALWAYS lose the internet connection when I wake up the computer.
This is not a true solution in the sense that I don't know why this happens or how not to lose connection when the "show statistics" page is open. But at least now I know not to have the window open. -
10.4.8 in an Earthlink PPPoE-connected Network
Hi, everyone. I've looked through the posts that I can find and everytime I try something, it doesn't work. So now I'd like to post my problem and see what I need to do.
I have OSX Server 4.8 in a network that is connected to the Internet via Earthlink's Zyxel 645 DSL modem. My connection to Earthlink is via PPPoE. Currently, because I have a Buffalo router in place, my 645 is in bridge mode. Therefore, the Buffalo is authenticating with my PPPoE username/password. I had an IPCOP firewall providing all of my access and firewalling but it died. So I'd like to incorporate my server to do the routing, DHCP, DNS, NAT, etc. Then I'll just use my Buffalo as a wireless AP.
According to this document, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303859, I have to put my DSL modem into "half-bridge mode" or DHCP spoofing. I went to Earthlink and they told me to factory reset the modem and that would put it in the correct "mindset" to configure my server to do everything else. I tried what they said, but I can't get the server to manage the network. Eth1 is set as my WAN interface (should be a cross-over cable plugged into the 645) and Eth2 is my LAN interface. I'm using DynDNS since I have a dynamic IP address from Earthlink.
From what I'm seeing in the other posts, PPPoE connection is a problem. I'm pretty new to the OSX server world. Can someone please help me along with the steps necessary to make this happen?
I've probably left out some information that you'll need. Please ask.
Thanks in advance for any help.Anyone?
