No internet access via guest network

I have setup up a guest wifi network on time capsule.  Guests can connect to the network but the network does not allow them to access the internet?

That would be the issue.
The simplest fix would be to use the wireless on the Netgear for "guests".
Next option would be to ask your provider if they can supply you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
After that.....not recommended.....you could try a different setting on the Time Capsule which would produce an error called Double NAT on the network....that may or may not allow things to work and create other problems as well.

  • No internet access through hosted network

    I created a hosted network to share the internet enabled the same. Both shared connection and the hosted network are showing 'Access type' as internet access, other guest devices are connected to the hosted network, got ip addresses also. But none of
    the devices are able to access internet. I have tried disabling antivirus and firewall, but still the internet connection is not available to other devices.
    Tried ‘Virtual router plus’. That also could not help in getting internet access, there in fact the internet connection sharing had to be enabled manually.
    I had gone through similar issues, but could not see proper answer from an expert.
    OS: Windows 8, Windows Firewall enabled
    Antivirus: Trend Micro
    Internet: USB modem (ICS enabled for the hosted network).
    Any suggestions for resolving this issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    PS: I could share internet using the same USB modem with a machine running Windows 7 using similar method.

    Hi,
    Refer to this tutorial:
    How to share internet from Windows 8 computer via WiFi without using Router
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/How-to-share-internet-from-ab8d6d35
    if this issue persists, try to see if there is newest network driver for windows 8.

  • Load Balance guest Internet access via two different DMZ zones at two sites

    Hi Sir,
    My customer has the following unified wireless guest access requirement:
    - There are 2 internet links and dmz zones at two different locations, Site A and Site B
    - Data centre is at Site A
    - WiSM is proposed to be installed at the Cat 6500 in Site A
    - Lightweight AP are distributed across Site A, Site B and other branches
    - Only one anchor WLC is proposed at Site A, DMZ zone to provide guest internet access
    My customer would like to load balance the guest via the two internet link at Site A and Site B but with the same SSID across all locations. Can it be done since only one anchor at Site A? How about puttting another anchor WLC at Site B, DMZ zone? But how can i establish two EoIP tunnel to two different anchor WLC from a single WiSM?
    Thanks for your help
    Delon

    You can... but you can't control where the traffic will flow. The wlc will determine which DMZ wlc it will use. The wlc will load balance, but traffic in site A might go to site B. I currently have deployed that senerio in multiple client installations....

  • Can a Time capsule be used to provide internet on a guest network but with no access to my files ?

    I was recently given a brand new 3TB time capsule.
    I would firstly like to partition the drive if possible ? to store films and some old photos etc
    I would then like to create a private network for myself with access to the time machine back ups and the partition with my films and photos in
    I Would then need to create a guest network for my house mates to use with access solely to the internet and none of my files. is this possible ?
    Also, if this is not possible,would it then be possible to plug in an external hard drive to the time capsule (containing my films and old photos etc) and access these files wirelessly on my network ? but also stop my guests from accessing these files over their network ?

    I would firstly like to partition the drive if possible ?
    It is possible in theory, but not easy in practice, and it will void the warranty on the Time Capsule if you attempt to do this. In general, you would need to open up the Time Capsule, remove the hard drive, place the hard drive in a separate enclosure or caddy, connect it directly to your Mac, and use Disk Utility to format the drive.  Then, you would need to reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule and hope that everything works.
    Instead of partitioning, you might want to take a look at setting up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule using Disk Utility.  This would allow you to reserve a certain amount of space for data and set up a password that users would need to type in before they could access the data inside the disk image.
    I would then like to create a private network for myself with access to the time machine back ups and the partition with my films and photos in
    The default setup of the Time Capsule will allow you to create a wireless network using a name and password that you want to use.
    I Would then need to create a guest network for my house mates to use with access solely to the internet and none of my files. is this possible ?
    Whether or not this is possible will depend on the type of modem that you will be using with the Time Capsule.  The Guest Network feature can be enabled if you will be using a simple modem with the Time Capsule.  Something like this, for example:
    However, the Guest Network feature was not designed to work correctly with a modem/router or gateway.  Something like this, which is often furnished by Internet Service Providers to their customers:
    See the difference?  One is a simple modem that only provides an Internet connection to an outboard router, like the Time Capsule. The other device is a modem/router or gateway, which is really two products.....a modem and a router.....in one package. The Guest Network feature was not really designed to work with this type of product, so it may or may not work if you try to use it with this type of device. Getting to work will involve trying to bend the rules.
    Also, if this is not possible,would it then be possible to plug in an external hard drive to the time capsule (containing my films and old photos etc) and access these files wirelessly on my network ? but also stop my guests from accessing these files over their network
    Yes, this actually might the simplest way to accomplish what you want to do. Make sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility and then use AirPort Utility to set up a password to access the drive.  Only give the password to those who you want to have access to the drive.

  • I recently purchased the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station so that I can have wireless, my question is: so I need anything else so that my guests can have internet access via my router?

    Hello Anyone and Everyone who can answer my question,
    I would like to be able to offer wireless access to the internet for my guest's who use my apartment above my garage that is about 75 feet away from my house/computer. I have a MacBook Pro and have satellite internet service through an ehternet connection. I recently purchased an Apple Extreme Base Station with simultanious Dual-Band (MC34OLL/A), that is in the process of being shipped as I type, and am wondering if I need anything else to install in the apartment for the wireless to work with the Apple Extreme Base Station? Thank you for any help in this matter.
    Sincerely,
    Lizzy

    In AirPort Utility, enable the guest network by selecting your Extreme, then the Edit button, then the Wireless tab, then check the box for "Enable Guest Network":

  • I am using a verizion jetpack to wireless connect to an airport express next i want to connect a Airport extreme wired from toe express to create a second private network that has internet access via the jetpack

    Thanks for the help after looking over your sugesstion I did some additional troubleshooting which i should have done in the beginning and heres what i found
    Airport express is joined to and existing wireless network and i have internet access....all good
    I set up my Airport Extreme as follows:
                        Connect using :ethernet
                  Ethernet Wan Port : automatic
                  Connetion Sharing : Share a public IP address
    Tcpip      Configue IPv4: Using DHCP

    Wireless    Create a wireless network
                             Wireless network name Test1
                              wpa2 security
    This is needed due to set ip address of device on this private network did not address NAT
    Conneted Express ethernet port to Extreme wan port
    All wired devices have internet access and i get a double nat status which ignore
    however my wireless device will not connect.... sometimes they will they want
    any suggestions

  • "No internet access" on Guest Wifi

    We upgraded our router the other day, we made a backup as well as a txt copy of the config file for copying in various commands to the new router .
    We have a Secure wifi for employees and a Guest wifi for visitors. We have a server doing the DHCP(10.27.131.8) for both the secure (10.27.131.0 network) and for the Guest (10.26.131.0 network). The Secure wifi is working as it should be - the Guest however is not. Visitors can connect and get a valid IP address from the 10.26.131.0 network but have no internet access. Everything else has stayed the same - no changes to the AP's.
    Again we copied the config from the old to the new with a few minor changes but nothing that should effect the Guest wifi.
    I did an ipconfig after connecting to the Guest Wifi and I can get a correct IP address 10.26.131.214, Default GW: 10.26.131.1.
    I enclosed the config from my router is anybody could shed some light,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I also apologize for my late answer.
    I appears your ACL 101 that filters traffic entering the Fa0/1.20 is not correctly written to allow DHCP requests to be processed by the router. The attempt has been made - but it is not correct. In particular, check out the second entry in the ACL 101:
    access-list 101 permit udp any host 10.27.131.8 eq bootps
    It allows all DHCP messages that are already targeted to 10.27.131.8, the DHCP server. However, such targeted DHCP messages may be used by clients only after they know who the DHCP server is in the first place. Until then, the requests are targeted to 255.255.255.255 and sourced from 0.0.0.0. Such packets are not allowed by any entry in the ACL 101 and are therefore dropped even before the DHCP Relay Agent can process them. That would explain why your clients actually cannot obtain IP address via DHCP in VLAN 20.
    We need to add the following entry immediately before or after the existing second entry in the ACL 101:
    access-list 101 permit udp any host 255.255.255.255 eq bootps
    You may accomplish this by the following sequence of commands directly pasted into the global configuration:
    ip access-list resequence 101 10 10
    ip access-list extended 101
    15 permit udp any host 255.255.255.255 eq bootps
    end
    The first line will cause the individual entries of the ACL 101 to be internally numbered, starting with the sequence number 10 and incrementing by 10 for each subsequent entry. The second line enters the ACL 101, treating it as a named ACL, allowing us to use the extended editing features. Finally, the third line starting with the sequence number 15 will cause the entry to be added between the existing first (seq no 10) and second (seq no 20) entry. It must be entered including the sequence number, otherwise the line will be added at the end of the ACL.
    Would you mind trying out this modification? The former corrections with the NAT I have described earlier must be applied as well.
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?

    Mr. Timmons,
    Thank you so much for the response.  I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not.  I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps.  My air express is still blinking yellow.  I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number.  When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number.  I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number).  V/R sjbgtmo

  • Conecting to MS Access via a network

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to get my program to access a database via a network and I'm testing (perhaps unwisely) with MS Access. The first step was using:
        driver="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
        connectString="jdbc:odbc:Test";
        Class.forName( driver );
        con = DriverManager.getConnection( connectString, "", "" );and setting this up using User DSN/System DSN in the OBDC manager on win2000.
    This works fine and I can establish a connection. My next step was to add my computer name or IP address with the thought when it work I can change either one to another computer. These efforst have been so far to no avail. I keep getting the error message:
    java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifiedSome of the variations I've tried so far are:
        connectString="jdbc:odbc://1.1.1.92/Test";
        connectString="jdbc:odbc://127.0.0.1/Test";
        connectString="jdbc:odbc://computername/Test";
        connectString="jdbc:odbc://1.1.1.92/Test1"; with Test1 defined as a file DSN in the OBDC Manager
    The only "minor" success was
        connectString="jdbc:odbc://computername.proxyservername/Pete"; Pete defined as a file DSN in the OBDC Manager again
    This produced the error "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name too long" which doesn't help me either.
    Has anyone managed this before and tell me how or give me some tips?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Pete
    PS. After searching the forums I've also tried:
        con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=D:test.mdb", "", "" );This works.
        con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//compname.proxyname/D:\\test.mdb", "", "" );Doesn't work :-(

    Has anyone managed this before and tell me how or give me some tips?To connect to MS Access using the ODBC driver via the jdbc-odbc bridge, you have two choices: use a DSN or use a DSN-less connection string.
    The MS Access driver only uses the file system for accessing the file. There is no way at all for you to specify a remote computer using the driver. None.
    As mentioned you can map a drive to your computer and use that. That however requires that every client have that drive mapped. That is seldom a workable solution. And it is unusable on the internet.
    The DSN-less connection string must be exactly correct or it will not work. The usual problem is that there are extra spaces or not enough.
    See here for an example of DSN-less http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=48&thread=259008
    See here for an explaination of ODBC in general and how to access MS Access remotely http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=48&thread=211735&start=2

  • 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?

    10.0.9.1                (Gateway)                                                         Ping Ok!!!!!
    10.0.9.2                (ESX Host)                                                        Ping Ok!!!!!
    10.0.10.1              (Gateway for Voice Vlan 200)                              Ping Ok!!!!!
    192.168.0.2          (Gateway for Internet Vlan 300)                            Ping Ok!!!!!
    192.168.0.1          (Sky router & DNS)                                             Ping OK!!!!!
    My assumtion is if i have these settings on my home PC:
    IP Address     10.0.9.55
    S/M               255.255.255.0
    Gateway        10.0.9.1
    DNS Server:     192.168.0.1 (Home Router)
    i should get internet access on my 10.0.9.1/24 network.
    IP routing is enabled and inter Vlan is working correctly. The issue I have is I have no internet connectivity on Vlan 100 (10.0.9.1/24) from my desktop PC or any of my VM's on the 10.0.9.1/24 network and internet seems to be working fine on any device in vlan 300.
    I have added my Running Config an attachment to give you a better understanding.
    Please can someone find i solution as i desperately require internet access on my VM's but they need to stay on the 10.x.x.x subet due to CUCM licensing.
    Kind Regards

    Hi,
    It sounds to me like the home router (192.168.0.1) doesnt have a route back to your 10.0.9.0/24 and 10.0.10.0/24 networks.
    Can you try a source ping from your 3750 switch as follows
    ping 192.168.0.1 source 10.0.9.1
    If this fails you will need to add static routes on the home router for the above networks with a next-hop of your 3750 192.168.0.2

  • Limit access to guest network

    In reading previous postings on limiting guest wifi access time on the AirPort Extreme, it sounds like you have to identify certain devices. my kids' devices only have access to the guest network. I was curious as to why the capability doesn't exist to limit the network availability period vs blocking specific devices. For instances, if my tween daughter has friends sleeping over, I don't want to just limit her access after a certain time, I'd like to limit all the kids' access By switching off the guest wifi.
    any help is greatly appreciated!
    thx, Sliceback

    Apple did not provide the ability to do it.. you can turn off wireless manually but there is no other ability.. Apple routers are minimalist as many Apple designs are.. they do not provide more than absolute basic usage for stable family with no body cheating or ill using the network.. hence no firewall, no QoS, no logs, no snmp in new models. in fact as time goes on.. Apple is continuing to remove functionality rather than add it. That is their design philosophy.. if that doesn't work for you buy a wireless router with controls.. !! Most decent routers now have excellent controls, time limits and multiple guests.. check out the Asus line. eg AC68U.
    Or use a cheap router with gargoyle firmware.. you can keep the AE as a wireless AP.. it is about as good as it gets.

  • Conneced to wireless router but no internet access via wireless

    I don't recall the physical connections being directly attached to the router.  The router in question is a Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS.  My initial thought was since we rolled out Voip fairly recently one of our phones might have ganked the IP address, but that is not the case.  Each of them have their own IP addresses and I don't see any conflicts.  I am also able to ping the router and log into it remotely from my office, which is in a different city. Could it possibly be a firmware issue?

    Hi Everyone,
    One of my offices' routers is broadcasting but has no internet access.  The office does have internet if you hardwire in but outside of that nothing has worked so far in regards to the WiFi.  I have power cycled the router and modem to no avail and DHCP is enabled but no one can get online via WiFi.  It seemed to just up and decide one morning that it was not going to allow internet access.

  • IMac G4 800 mhz internet access via LAN very slow

    We have a G4 800mhz running 10.3. Memory is 768K. The only use for this machine is as a music server. It is connected to the internet via LAN; internet access is extremely slow - pages take an incredibly long time to load. Download/Upload speeds are about the same as I see on my Macbook Pro so I don't think it is the connected to the internet. Is there anything one can do to troubleshoot very laggy browser performance?

    You may need to turn to Activity Monitor (or "AM") in Applications > Utilities to see if a runaway background process is eating up processor cycles. If you've not run AM before, on first launch its "Show" window defaults to "My Processes." That will tell only part of the story. Change it to "All Processes"to get the full picture.
    Now highlight the "%CPU" column to sort by processor usage. Best to check with no user apps running other than AM. Let AM percolate five to ten seconds to let it finish its first poll. What you are looking for are any processes that are using 15 percent or more of "%CPU" with nothing running other than AM. If you find one, post its name here and we can advise how to deal with it.
    However, don't get your expectations too high that a process has gone rogue. Part of it is simply a lack of speed by today's standards. I recently upgraded a friends iMac G4 800 from Panther to Tiger so it could run the latest browsers and it was still terribly slow compared to my PowerBook G4 1Ghz running the same level OS. The iMac 800 has a slow logic board bus (100mHz).

  • Win2012R2 VM internet access via WIFI fine but not through a client's Web Proxy Server

    Hi 
    I have a number of VMs running on my win 8.1 laptop. They normally access the internet via the host WIFI in a bridged config.  No real issues tho sometimes it takes a reboot to clear out any stale DNS  entries.  
    Now when I go on a client site my internet access on the host laptop is via a web proxy on a LAN connection. If I want this same access running on a standalone "all in" VM , I have a issue since it does not know about the web proxy and it is not
    even on the client's LAN . No internet, means no Azure or Office 365.....
    So this doesn't make any difference
    Is there a way around this .. do I need share a folder/drive   or authenticate myself on the Proxy, from the VM. 
    Anyone had this issue?

    Hi Daniel,
    >>Now when I go on a client site my internet access on the host laptop is via a web proxy on a LAN connection.
    "LAN connection" means physical NIC (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) ?
    " web proxy " means adding a proxy server IP in IE ?
    Bounding the NIC (Realtek PCIe ) to external virtual switch then connect all VMs to that external virtual switch ,still can not access ?
