Router can't connect but modem can
I've been using this WRT54G broadband router with linksys am300 adsl modem for a long time now until a few days ago my internet couldn't work. I tried directly pulgging to my modem, internet works. If i go through router, no internet. I tried reset router to factory default, it worked and I could surf for like 15 minutes, then it dropped again. I tried again to connect ethernet directly to modem without going through router, internet works fine. I've done reset on the router a couple of times after that, but I could not complete the steps and my internet doesn't work when I using the router. What should I do with my router??
Logon to www.linksys.com/downloads and download the firmware for the router and upgrade it .
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: - Open
an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on
the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' to select the
extracted/uncompressed .img or .bin file and click on "Upgrade"-Wait for few seconds ....
It shows that "Upgrade 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".
Reset the router for few seconds ....
Reconfigure it ....

Router Won't Connect to modem so i can't get internet
All right -_- i have tried lots of stuff with this so i am getting irritated sorry. Here is my info I have a Linksys Wireless Router with SpeedBoost Firmware Version 7.2 (latest) WRT54GS. I am trying to use it with a Sprint 645 Series Modem. My IP while connected to the router and the router connected to the Modem is 192.168.1.100 which my ISP said was ok for it to work. While it is just connected to my modem it is that same thing except replace the 100 with 1. My ISP uses a security measure where The DHCP Thing is 192.168.1.1 and so is the DNS server, and the Default Gateway and im not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have used ping in the Command Prompt to make sure i am connected to the router when its plugged up and it is. This is a new router. I have perfectly fine internet with just Modem. I have tried resetting the Router and that didn't work -_-. I dont think it matters anymore because i have tried fixing it the way lots of people have told me to and it didnt work but i will tell u anyway. When i set up the router the first time i hooked everything up and turned it all on at first. Then i saw that it said Run CD first before connecting cables... those weren't in the instructions but wtv... anyway resetting it should have fixed it or so i was told by other people on this forum. I am using a Laptop with Windows Vista, and i don't have access to a desktop in case i need one XD. I can connect to the Router fine because i can get to the setup page.. and i can connect wirelessly.. The ONLY problem appears to be that the Router doesn't connect to the Modem... for wtv reason -_- I think its because of the whole security measure about how the DHCP and DSN and Gateway are all 192.168.1.1, but that is just me. I am sorry this is so long but I really want this fixed -_- i have had this Router for a month and its getting really annoying so please help . My ISP is Embarq. I ran the setup CD and I got all the way through to the last step (waiting for router) after connecting the power supply to the wall for the router. It just sits there forever and says afterwards "Error:322 Can't find router or something like that. It gives 3 steps to try to fix it. It says to make sure the Router is plugged in (it is) , it also says to make sure u didn't actually plug in your old router, (i dont have one -_-) and then retry the setup. and by setup i mean where u plug all the cords in the right way. *sigh*
If u need anything else please ask.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Your second post said 'ignore this" so I guess everyone thought you had got it fixed....
When you connect through your router you have two instances of DHCP going on...one is your DSL modem giving your router an IP address on it's WAN interface. The other is the router giving your computer an IP address via the router's DHCP server. The IP the modem gives your router is in the 192.168.1.0 network. Unfortunately, by default, the LAN IP address reange on Linksys routers is also in that range. To get this to work, you need to set your LAN ip on the router to 192.168.2.1, so that the LAN and WAN interfaces of the router are in different networks.
To do that, unplug the router from the DSL modem, power it and your computer down, then connect the computer to the router using an ethernet cable. Power up the router, and the computer, then browse to 192.168.1.1. Change the LAN IP on the router setup to 192.168.2.1, save the configuration, then reboot the computer. Once the computer comes back up, browse to 192.168.2.1...you should be able to get to the router setup GUI.
Power down the router, and the DSL modem, connect the router to the modem via the Internet port using an ethernet cable, then power up the modem, then the router....you should be good to go...

Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 - Shows connected, but I can not connect to the internet
I have a Linksys Router hooked up to a cable RCA modem using Comcast Cable. There are 3 laptops that hook up wirelessly to the router and they have been working fine for the past two years. However, recently all three laptops can not connect to the internet for some reason. I checked with Comcast and they checked out the modem and tested it and it works fine. When I hook my laptop up to the modem with an ethernet cable, it works fine and I can get on the internet. When I hook the modem up to the router and try to connect wirelessly it appears to be fine. It shows that the router is connected there is connectivity on all our laptops, however when I open a new internet explorer page to get on the internet, it does nothing. A blank page appears and the webpage will not load. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it the router or the way it is setup in the admin page or could it be possibly something else? Thanks.
As it shows connected under wireless ....check the Ip address under wireless network connection .....
If it shows Ip 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 ..... try to pnig the gateway address ...
If getting reply try going online ....
Also disable the firewall first..... -
I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
Can't Connect Though Router/Can through modem
Hi everybody, I was hoping y'all could help me out with my problem.
Yesterday I had a cable modem hooked up in my dorm room to my already installed TV cable. Everything was working great until I tried to install my WRT54G Router.
I can plug in my laptop directly into the cable modem and get internet fine.
I have my router set up and my computer can establish a wireless network connection to the router.
However, when I connect to the router, I don't get internet.
Here's what I have tried:
*Installing newest firmwire
*Installing Easy Link
*Running CMD prompt to see if the router is working-Does work
*Checking to see if it is a DNS issue(typing in googles IP address)-Didn't work
*Installing the software on 2 laptops and 1 PC to see if it was a computer issue.
*I even returned the router to get a new one without any luck
I have installed 2 of these routers before without issue. What the heck am I doing wrong? Please help me out, thanksAlways check the router's status page on http://192.168.1.1/ to see the status of the internet connection. It will give you an error message when you try to connect and it does not work. You should check that.
Also remember that wireless routers come in a very unsecure configuration out of the box. Anyone in your proximity can connect wireless to the router and make any changes to the configuration until you change the router's configuration password and secure the wireless network with WPA.
Do any configuration through a wired connection to the router only to avoid configuring your neighbor's linksys router which he runs open.
Some ISPs remember the MAC address of the device/computer connected to them to prevent users to connect with multiple computers at a time. A clear indictation of this would be if only a single computer can use the internet connection, i.e. neither the router or any other computer could.
If this is the case, it sometimes helps to unplug the modem from the power and wait a few seconds and then plug it back in, followed by the router. Then the ISP accepts the router's MAC address on the line.
If this does not work, you could also try the MAC address clone function in the router. This is done again on http://192.168.1.1/ Search for the function on the tabs and clone the mac address of the laptop for which the internet connection works when it is directly connected to the modem. (there is a button which copies the address) Remember to save the setting. After the change you may have to connect manually on the Status page of the router.
Another reason for this kind of problem could be that your modem is not a simple modem but also a router. If the modem and the WRT both use the network 192.168.1.* you have an address conflict and it won't work. It find out about this, you could connect the laptop to the modem and verify you have an internet connection. Then open a command prompt window ("Run..." and "cmd") and enter the command "ipconfig /all". Copy the output of this command into your next post. It will show what kind of connection and modem you have... -
I need to go very very near to my wireless modem to find my network and if i go a little far i can not connect but before it was not like that?!what is the problem?!
Hey Babakgh,
I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.
Thank you for your response.
I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
But thanks again. Much appreciate it. -

Can't connect with modem through e2500 router
I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem hooked to my e2500 router. Everything works well except if for some reason my modem disconnects from ISP I can not log into it through the route to reconnect it. I must plug a direct cable into modem from computer run connect script then plug modem back into router all is fine again.
Any ideas why connecting to modem through router is blocked?
Thnaks,

My Speedstream only has one Ethernet connection so I didn't realize that it looked like a router to the local network. I changed the mode to bridge on the Speedstream and setup PPoE on e2500 and reconnected to ISP on e2500 setup screen. That may solve the problem of reconnecting since now it is managed on the e2500.
One thing I now see is since I left the modem IP set to 192.168.0.X I can't get to it at all through the e2500. Is that because my DHCP in e2500 is setup with 192.168.1.X IP range so modem isn't addressed in my network? If I hook directly to Speedstream and change IP to 192.168.1.X will it become visible on local network?
You cannot access the modem anymore while you have an active PPPoE connection. For PPPoE the E2500 won't need an IP address from the modem thus it doesn't do DHCP on the WAN port and thus it never sees it. When you try to access 192.168.0.* addresses the E2500 will route it through the PPP tunnel to the ISP.
If you hook your computer directly to the SpeedStream it should automatically pick up a DHCP address (assuming the computer is still running on DHCP and not with a static IP and the SpeedStream does not automatically disable the DHCP server in bridge mode). If you have set up a static IP on the computer you have to change the IP address to a 192.168.0.* address. -
WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router
Hello. Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length... I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please... I am sorry...): Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily. My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all.
I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers... They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer. I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely. I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else. They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access. Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.
Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix. Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately. Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made? I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running. Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection? The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune. I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please...
It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations: Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.).
I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work. I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please... When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct. I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help. IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X
I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade. But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware. However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD. McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported. I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections. Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean? Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file? I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it. My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems...
Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
(Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
Actual file: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router. I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options: Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband. I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process. I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding. The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again." How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing? I'm entirely confused. Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again? Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard? Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup?
Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable. Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router. However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.). Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done.
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot:
IP Address = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers = 68.28.90.91
68.28.82.91
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in router:
IP Address = 192.168.1.1XX
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server = 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers = 192.168.1.1
Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard. I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?). On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded. I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not. On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it. My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X).
Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways: I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL. Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens... AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be. I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK. Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts. Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert. I didn't change any settings anywhere.
I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100 It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?). During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works. I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else. I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior. Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is...
Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please... Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello. It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry. There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me... You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed. I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry...
After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans. One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router. I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since... Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement.
Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco. Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds. I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please. I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters.
I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things. I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time. Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning.
That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again. It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this. To answer the first very good idea you made: Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time). I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember... It was a brilliant idea though, thank you...
I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it... Thank you... I think, and hope this matter is solved. It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it. Thank you... Peace... -
WRT54GS v7: Claims to have connection, but I can't access the internet wired or wireless.
Hello. I recently moved in with another family member, and he already had a linksys router (this one a WRT54G v5) but after our internet speed crashed from around 300 kb/s all the way to 12 kb/s, I knew somethin was up, and I blamed it on his router, which had been kinda "iffy" in the past. So, since I had brought my router (the WRT54GS v7) I decided to take a crack at i installing it. I restored it to factory defaults and ran the CD, as if this router had never been used. Everything went fine, until trying to connect to the internet... It just wouldn't work, even though ALL the indicator lights were lit (on both the router and modem. The modem is a DSL modem, and the model is: Westell C90-610015-06. ISP is Verizon.) Upon browsing the forums here, I found someone with a similiar issue, except they were using a cable modem. Here is the fix that was posted by a user named toomanydonuts: "Your TM502G modem appears to be a standard cable modem (i.e. it is not a modem-router). Therefore your WRT54GS should work at its factory default settings. You need to reset the router to factory defaults. To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure: 1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall. 2) Disconnect all wires from the router. 3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes). 5) Power down the router. 6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port). 7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off). 9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router. 10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser. If you get this far without problems, power down the router. Using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet port on your modem to the "Internet" port on the WRT54GS. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the WRT54GS and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Now try to connect to the Internet. If you still have trouble, in your computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall. If you still have trouble, verify that your ethernet card is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain a DNS address automatically". After you get the router working, you can go back into the router and manually adjust the settings, if needed. If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead. If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1. If you need additional help, please state your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back. Please let me know how things turn out for you." So, I tried that. All of it. Including disabling the firewall. Now, the IP address and DNS servers bein retrieved automatically thing I'm a lil sketchy on, simply because I'm not exactly sure how to change that.... What I did also try doing, on top of the above resolution, was to have the WRT54GS clone my PC's MAC address, then restart the router, modem, and computer. This one actually got me excited as the Internet lights blinked a few times, but then still nothing -_- So...is my router dead perhaps? Cuz to be honest, I'm completely open to buying a new router, if needed. Help?
You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.
Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada -
I'm connected but can't get browser, email or even FTP ????
Special thanks for the article "Sun PPPoE on Solaris" by Phil Dibowitz and "Setting Up Solaris OS to Work with Cable Modems" by Muhammad Talha (I have DSL however). Without these 2 articles I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did.
First off I'm running on an AMD CPU with Realtek 8139 PCI plug in card.
Ok here is the problem. It looks like I have connected but I can't get the browser , email or even terminal FTP to work. I think I'm at the gateway but I can't get onto the internet.
Here is how my system looks right after I boot up .
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

sppp0: flags=10010008d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1492 index 3
inet 216.8.174.237 --> 216.8.136.29 netmask ffffff00
ether 0
I'm connected right? But why 2 IP addresses (one for me and one for the gateway?)
Solaris gives me notice during BOOT that it can't configure rtls0: for DHCP but then connects somehow? later on in the auto connect script (script copied from Phils article)
Also Phil recommends running debug to generate the connect-errors file. Here it is ! You can see that I HAVE CONNECTED !

And yes I have tried everything I can think of with the DESKTOP PROXY SETTINGS. (but do I need to shutdown each time after I make a change? to the proxy?) Do I even need a proxy? My computer is plugged into a 3COM "Home Connect" HUB. I have an ALCATEL Speed Touch Home DSL modem.
Please help !

BTW... I POSTED THIS WITH ANOTHER COMPUTER>Please excuse me that I wrote "sysuncinfig", it was "sysunconfig". Did you try it?
Yes many times. Thanks. It is less work than a re-install.

Can you give us last output of ifconfig -a.># ifconfig -a

>As I understood, you have modem that is connected to the Internet and computers obtain IP from it. Am I correct?
If yes, and your line is some kind of xDSL (for example ADSL or something like that), probably that your modem is router (that kind of lines, there is no real modem with dial up, it just logs on).
I'm only using a 3COM Home Connect HUB. At one time when we had up to 4 computers on it, we were automatically re-assigned up to 4 different IP addresses each time.
>The problem with DHCP and such router is that your computer will have hostname "unknown", if you want other hostname, give it permanent IP and setup program will let you to specify IP address.
I will need to pay my service provider more for a "static IP address" What you are talking about is a "static IP" . Am I right?
>*How to know what IP you have put in default router? On your Windows computer run "ipconfig" command and see what is IP of Gateway (in Solaris it is called default router).
I got it ! Sorry about that you said try on the Windows computer. Thanks.
On my wifes computer it is 169.254.XX.XX
On mine also 169.254.XX.XX
The XX are not the same.
Thanks for all of your help.

Reset router, can't connect to net - need help
Here's my situation, I spent an hour digging through previous posts trying to solve my issue with no luck.
Had Cavtel DSL running to a Linksys wrt54g ver.2 router which was working fine. My brother needed access to the network but we forgot the password which was set about 2 years before.
I hit the reset button on the back of the linksys router and promptly lost access to the internet from my computer.
I contacted linksys help over the phone and after dealing with someone in India he told me that they would charge me to walk me through it. I disconnected and tried cavtel... They told me to plug the cavtel modem directly to the pc. I still couldn't access the internet at this point.
She then had me modify my tcp/ip settings and gave me nifty numbers that allowed me to get back online. I asked her about the router and she said, oh just plug the modem into it and it will self detect everything and emphasized that I should call linksys and they'll be GLAD to help me out...
Needless to say, I plugged the internet into the router and once again can't get online. I then tried to backtrack and plug the pc back directly to the modem and can't connect to the internet once more. Contacted cavtel and their response was the classic, well we got you working directly we can't help you with router issues.
I don't have the install cd anymore, and I haven't a clue what to do to fix this. Top this off, there are no other wireless networks around my house so I can't access this forum from home or any online 'easy help' tools or programs.
Anyone have any suggestions??? And yes I know the basics of accessing the modem, the 192.168.1.1 etc etc admin password.
Thanks for help in advance.
Message Edited by seawolf688 on 06-11-2008 09:00 AMConfiguration for DSL connection:-
Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
for 30 Seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
===================================================================
Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP ?. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then agian check the WAN Ip address ..... -
Can't access router until it connects
I have a iMac G5 1.9 w/ 10.4.6 that is connected via ethernet to a D-Link713P that in turn has a 56K modem connected to it's serial port for dial-up internet.
What I can't figure out is when the dial-up modem cannot connect the iMac cannot access the configuration page of the router at 192.168.0.1, so i can't change the dialup number, unless I fire up my PC.
The iMac is configured for DHCP, but it gets an IP lease even if the router can't connect to the internet. I can ping the router from terminal just fine.
It's amost like Safari (or Camino) will NOT connect to anything unless the internet is active.
My old G4 quicksilver running 10.3.9 can see it just fine too but it has issues and isn't very stable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)so nobody has any suggestions?
Seems like since the Airport base stations are similar, some have modems built-in and browser based admin interfaces, either it would have come up before or there would be a setting I have wrong?
Maybe you are looking for
