Remote administration can't be disabled

I've seen a couple of posts on this, but none that seemed to be properly resolved. I have a wag200g, and remote administration cannot be disabled. I'm not a moron so please don't give me some copy paste reply telling me what button to click, as someone did in a different thread on this problem.I'm on the latest firmware, so nothing on that either please. The only sensible solution is to route all incoming on port 80 to a dead ip address, same as I've had to do for the inexplicably open port 443 - another dangerous security hole.
Seriously, I think this is a HUGE problem that you've got, since I found the same on someone else with the same router. Difference being, they hadn't changed the admin password. Hence, just knowing the ip its possible to login with admin/admin and cause havoc.The login box for remote administration even helpfully gives you the make and model of the router..........sheer madness.
I'd like to say this is the last linksys router I'll ever buy, but it's not. I'm going to get one of those old ones on ebay so I can install dd-wrt on it and not have to worry about linksys firmware (seriously, javascript, on a router admin page? you got to be kidding)
Anyway, I'm not really looking for answers, just wanting to register the problem in a way that hopefully might make someone listen

Hello, insaf_mohd and onlyregisteringtopostthis. I'm just your average network guy in the process of learning more from others, so bear with me on this. I also have a WAG200G and I've recently enabled Remote Access on it. Actually, I just followed the instructions on the link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=58abe55b7a774a9181f60f2d1de937ff_4252.xml&pid=80&r...
I disabled and enabled Remote Management (Administration > Management > Remote Management)  just to experiment on things. So far, it's working. Can you guys give me additional insights on other steps to do on the WAG200G to optimize its performance?
Information. Share it. Learn from it.

  • I want to get my parents setup with an imac and iPad.  They are elderly and we live in different countries.  I want to know what solution exists so I can be the remote administrator to maintain and keep them up and running .. I dont want anything fancy.

    I would like to setup my eldery parents with an imac and ipad which I know will greatly help them in their daily life.  The technology they love to play with whenever I visit, but they can never keep anything running or sync'ed unless I am around.  Medical and other issues make this a real challenge for them.  Unfortunately, I live in a different country and see them maybe once per year.  I'm surrounded my apple products but never tried remote administration and wondered what I would need (software and hardware) to make this noble venture sucessful.  Anyone out there has some experience or recommendations?  I'm looking for something that is simple and reliable to implement ...

    JokerGirl,
    This is Scott J, I work for Intel and wanted to try and help you out. Sorry to hear about your current PC and your knee!
    I agree with the bigger screen. I have the Samsung ATIV Smart PC with a screen 11.6" which is great to watch shows/movies!  anything bigger is almost too big for a tablet (personal opinion).
    Yes, most if not all tablets will have speakers and a headphone jack
    You can watch YouTube
    Only certain models have keyboards, you will want to specify this when making a purchase. Note: most keyboards are sold separately.
    Covers are usually pretty easy to come buy, as well as screen protectors (clear plastic that covers and protects your screen from scratches, etc.)
    Depending on the Operating System (Windows, Android, etc.) you will have access to an app store where you can buy and download content. Alternatively you can access your favorite sites to read news, get books, magazines, etc.
    Hooking things to your tablet - different tablets will have different ports (USB, HDMI, etc.) Question to ask prior to making a purchase as some do not have ports (iPad). Back to my Samsung, I have several ports and do hook it to my TV
    Tablets can run anywhere from $150-$1,000.  The mid-range $400-$700 should fulfill all of your needs above and more!

  • Remote Administra​tion from Turkey?

    Normally I would not be that concerned. This IP originates from Turkey though and to top it off I just changed my password about a week ago. According to this log, someone from Turkey succesfully connected to my router.  Well it does say ICMP which is ping or for the ones that don't know it's Internet Control Message Protocol but it also says Remote Administration which I find a bit whacky. I guess my main question is, why can't verizon block this stuff from their network alltogether?Why does the customer have to even see this stuff? Does anyone know anybody from Turkey, China or the Russian Federation?
    IP Address assigned to: TURKEY
    IP Address: 212.156.0.206 is located within the following Network:
    Network: 212.156.0.0
    CIDR: 212.156.0.0/16
    Mask: 212.156.0.0/255.255.0.0
    Network Range: 212.156.0.0 - 212.156.255.255

    Inbound Traffic
    Accepted Traffic - Remote administration
    ICMP type 8 code 0 212.156.0.206-> on eth1

    An ICMP type 8 packet is simply an echo, or ping.  The term remote administration is a misnomer and does not indicate a logon to your router.
    Ping is a valid troubleshooting tool, but having it enabled can disclose the presence of a router at your IP address.
    You can disable your router responding to pings
    - Click on the Advanced icon.
    - Select Remote Administration
    - Uncheck the box next to Allow ICMP echo request

  • Administrator account keeps getting disabled in SAP BI 4 from time to time.

    Hi,
    I am working for Ericsson. Recently during a upgrade for a customer, we migrated from SAP BO XI 3 to BI 4 Platform. Everything is running fine, but the Administrator account keeps getting disabled from time to time. They need to login from any other account with Administrator rights to enable the Administrator account to resume operations. What can be done for this problem?

    Hi,
    Try to check if the administrators group have already enough rights.
    Also verify if one of the admin users is modifying the rights for the administrator.
    Best regards,
    Saloua.

    I went ahead and reset whatever settings he changed, but how do I close this port to prevent this guy from gaining access to my router in the future?

    whokebe1 wroteI'm pretty certain I didn't see that bottom entry the previous week. And if you'll notice, I can't undo it without resetting the router.
    That certainly doesn't look like anything I've seen VZ add.
    I have seen VZ add a UDP from from ANY address / ANY port to DVR port 63145 which effective blocks port forwarding needed for third party VOIP.
    VZ recently encrypted the Actiontec config file.  However the config file for Westells remains unencrypted.
    If you want to block access to the CPE Management port. 
    Save your current configuration to a file.
    Open it with a text editor.
    About 3/4 of the way down the file you will see the following lines:
    (cwmp
        (enabled(1))
    Change it to:
    (cwmp
        (enabled(0))
    That should block remote CPU access.

  • Air Port Extreme Remote Administration?

    Is it possible to administer the Air Port Extreme remotely?
    My Linksys router has been doing OK lately, but have been noticing issues like speed latency.  I think this is true not only since another B or G Wifi device connected to the router causing the rest of the speeds to decrease, but also since I moved into a location that has many WiFi hotspots - specifically my condo complex.  My conclusion is buying a dual band wireless router which probablt has a larger WiFi range too.  I am debating on whether or not to buy the Apple Air Port Extreme Base Station or one of the top 3 Linksys E Seriers routers (E2500, E3200, E4200), since I have 2 iPads, an iMac, 2 iPhones, 2 Apple TVs, 2 Windows 7 laptops, 1 Windows XP desktop, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, and 2 WiFi enablesd Blue Ray Players.  I saw that I was able to access all of the devices with the Air Port Extreme Base Station - great!    Air Port Extreme Base Station works great with all of the Apple devices, stops latency slow WiFi speeds and can have a USB hub attached to allow for a printer, multiple HDs [Time Machine Backups, YAY], etc.  I am leaning towards the Air Port Extreme Base Station, but have two reservations:
    (1) WEB BROWSER: I cannot administer the Air Port Extreme Base Station via a web browser and am forced to install the software and
    (2) REMOTE ADMINISTRATION: I cannot make any changes to the Air Port Extreme Base Station remotely, say if I'm at work, forgot to open a few ports and NAT/PAT, to access my computer.
    I would buy the Air Port Extreme Base Station if I can at least get through one of these two reservations.
    Please help.

    <Yes, the newer AirPort Extremes running 7.4.1+ firmware, can be administered from a remote location ... of course, you would still require the AirPort Utility to do so.>
    I am looking to set up remote access to my Airport Extreme that is running the latest firmware. Can you describe what I need to do to do so?  I do not have a static IP so will have to use something like DynDNS I assume. My needs are pretty simple. From time to time my Airport drops out (I'm guessing after a power outage) and while the Cablevision modem restarts, my Airlort is often left flashing orange. This would be fine except that this is all at a weekend house that is 90 miles away and I need the wifi to be working so that I can access my Nest thermostat as well as my Insteon system for remote light management.

  • What "ethernet port" does airport utility use for "remote administration"

    I have a friend who was recently evangelized to Macs and bought a Macbook Pro and an Apple Airport Extreme (gigabit) Router, hereinafter called AE. The place where he lives has cable modem internet access and an older Linksys wireless-G router for the building, and I am trying to configure his new AE, prior to making it the primary router in the network (e.g. connected to the cable modem).
    When the AE is completely configured the Linksys will be retired.
    I remotely manage and maintain the network and some other computers in that house. The Linksys is configured for Remote Administration so I can manage it. I manage several PC's and Macs using Timbuktu Pro 8, with the necessary ports forwarded through to TB2 on those machines.
    I am trying to configure the Airport so it also can be managed remotely, so from a workstation on that network (accessed from where I am using TB2) and running Airport Utility, I have checked "Allow setup over WAN" on the Airport/BaseStation page. Now I would like to test whether I can connect and remotely administer that Airport Extreme from Airport Utility on my Mac.
    I assume that, if I can rout packets from my Airport Utility here through the internet to the public IP of the Linksys router there, I should be able to connect. But I can't.
    My setup is this. The target AE has its WAN port connected to an ethernet port on the Linksys, as is the LAN in the remote building. Nothing is connected to the AE's ethernet ports at this time. The Linksys is the DHCP server, and the AE has an IP from it, as does all the other ethernet- and wireless-connected computers, printers, etc. The AE's wireless is active and the wireless-connected devices in the building can connect to either its base station or to that of the Linksys. When the Linksys is retired the AE will be the only wireless in the building.
    I attempt to connect in the following way: On my Mac, I run Airport Utility. From the file menu I select "Configure other" and enter the public IP address of the remote Linksys, and give AE's password. There is a long wait
    Reading the Airport wireless device configuration....
    while Airport Utility tried to discover AE, and then
    An error occurred while reading the configuration..... (-6753)
    I suspect that my remote connection problem is due to the fact that the AE is behind the Linksys, and the proper port forwarding is not in place on it to pass the Airport Utility's packets through to the Wan port of the AE. This might be that I have not entered into the Linksys the correct port number to forward on to the AE. I've tried the three numbers in the list:
    "Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products" found at
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629
    that are mentioned as possibly being involved with Airport Utility; 192, 4500 and 5009.
    Advice will be appreciated.
    Bob

    One example, and there may be others, is the (free) DynDNS dynamic DNS service which publishes a domain name for the WAN port of your router which can then be resolved, like all other domain names, to the actual IP address of the WAn port of your router. This service provides a solution to the problem of having a proper domain name in cases where your public IP address changes over time. Unless you pay for a static IP address, virtually all ISPs change your public IP address over time.
    So, you can register for a free DynDNS account at www.dyndns.com and that is how you come up with the User: and Password: information; use whatever User and Password you register at dyndns.com with.
    The first part of the hostname you can define as you wish, subject only to someone else having used it previously, and the remaining parts of the domain name might be "dyndns.org" or one of the other domain names provided by the DynDNS service. So, you could publish, via DynDNS, the name of your public IP address as, for example, joehlam.dyndns.org however you might want something less descriptive or more vague.

  • It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?

    It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?

    Sorry about the delay; I have called Apple Care sr advisors and spent 3 over 200 hrs explaining the problems to which they always recommend I exchange the Mac with a new one. This is my 5th Mac mini in less than 2 months. Many of the problems are not directly related to windows issues however (in my uneducated opinion should not be happening)Here are the unexplained issues:
    1. The sr advisors have been remotely connected to the machine and each one said I was setup on a server;
    2. My uid has been replaced with a windows uid (s-18-0-0-1 or sim);
    3. All the root certificates seem to be either fraudulent or modified to allow access to root account from remote locations;
    4. Apache server is active;
    5. WebDAV is configured as well as SQL services;
    6. Every newly exchanged Mac mini has iLife uninstalled prior to any updates being installed;
    7. Mac updates have warning messages indicating they are not signed properly, "contact software manufacture for more information", apple has no answer to this;
    8. Although I have never claimed (nor do I ever want to be computer program literate), I have been plagued by the same issues on Windows PC, Linux and now OS X. My main purpose for needing a secure computer is to write a resume and find employment. In 3 years I have been unable to do either. My data is always Either locked after as read only or is accessible on a URL only.
    9. I know this one will only classify me as an insane maniac but It appears as though I am connected to the Internet via an ipv6 udp connection even though my ISP doesn't support ip6 and all GUIs indicate all connections are inactive. This is typical no matter geographical location ie:Denver, San Deigo, Seattle, Boise et al)

  • Remote administration Airport extreme

    Hi everybody,
    I Have two networks, one at home one in my office. I use apple remote desktop to go to "my" computer at the the office and vice versa. The thing that isn`t good at all is, that I only can go remotly to a single computer within the network, the one I forwarded the IP on the Airport extreme station. But from time to time I need to go on another computer. So my Idea was to administer the Airport express station remotly using the airport admin utility. I have a fix IP on both ends and connecting to the internet using PPPoE on both machines. When I put in the IP address of My AirPort station in the office using search other in airport admin utility at home, after mybe 5 Minutes an error occours saying that the configurattion couldn`t be read. What is the problem? Is it the PPPoE configuration?
    Both Airport running on 5.6, Macs all on 10.4.3. For any help very happy!
    Greeting Stephan

    A few suggestions:
    - firmware version 6.2 has many instability issues, particularly on PPPoE connections. You should use firmware version 5.5.1 available from:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefirmware551formacosx.html
    - it is probably best to try this without a router or firewall between the Mac you are doing the configuration from, and the internet
    - make sure you have enabled the remote administration function on the target Base Station (I think this setting is found by clicking on the Base Station "Options" button in the Airport Admin Utility)

    Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
    I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

    You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
    Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

  • How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

    Hi.  My subject says it all.  How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
    At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out.  Then I reset the computer.  Then I couldn't even log in.  I tried Time Machine etc.
    Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right.  It seems to be working backwards.  It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
    So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
    Is there a way I can just disable it permanently?  Even physical force if necessary.  I tried to break it but it wouldn't break.  I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter.  I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
    Thanks.  I hope someone knows.

    That's the best answer.  Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
    Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also.  It will make a laptop less laptopish.  But it could do the job for awhile.
    It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
    But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
    And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something.  I like mine though.  It's customized and is how I like it right now.
    Anyway thanks for the reply.
