Wirless Router and Bellsouth DSL Problems

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

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

  • Router and Wi Fi Problem

    So my question is...is their a setting in my router that needs to be adjusted to make sure the playbook gets good bandwidth on my home network

    What router and firmware version are you running?

  • Router and Wireless Ps3 Problems. Please help.

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

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

  • Raouting, Rate Routing and Cost run Problem

    We have changed the our process from routing to rate routing.
    But while doing the cost run - CK40N, the sytem is considering the routing in stead of rate routing.
    Please advice.
    Regards
    Pranav

    Dear Pranav,
    1.Check what selection ID has been assigned in the quantity structure control tab(for the costing variant that is used for costing in
    CK40N) for routing selection,If it's 01 means,then check with selection ID 02 where the first priority is assigned for routing type R.
    (In standard SAP selection ID 01 by default has first priority to routing - N and then further prirority to rate routing - type - R).So
    assuming selection ID 01 is assigned and a product has both routing(task list type - N) and rate routing(task list type - R),now at
    the time of costing the system picks up the routing by default as the first priority is set for routing.
    2.Also check whether the task list type and the corresponding group and group counter has been changed in the production
    version for inhouse manufactured product either in MM02-->MRP4 view or else in C223.
    Check and revert back with your further queries.

  • Linksys Router and Screen Sharing Problems

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

    The Linksys Firewall is normally Off by default.
    There are those that try Pinging IP addresses for various reasons.
    A Malformed Ping (Ping of Death) can bring down your connection.
    To a certain extent this does then become a question of whether you are a big enough target or if someone discovers your IP and tries to do anything about it.
    Most will be looking for access to Windows computers so your Mac it that sense will protect itself.
    In about 6 years on Broadband with a Constant On Connection none of the modems I have had have reported a a Ping attack and I have had thousands of contacts with people via iChat some of which will have my IP in their Logs.
    Significant Decrease ? No

  • Linksys router and IP address problem

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

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

  • How do I get my iMac AirPort to only lock onto my wirless router and not others?

    Everytime I power up my iMac I have to use the AirPort drop down menu to select my Wi-Fi network from a long list.
    Is there a way to set my Air Port Preferences so that it always only picks up my Wi-Fi signal automatically?
    Saving me the time form always having to select it....
    Please advise

    In System Prefs -> Network -> Advanced Tab see if your network is at the top of the list. If not, click and drag it there.

  • Wirless AP and Router

    guys just wanted to know whats the main difference between....wirless router and wirless access point.....like dlink which u get for 100$ and cisco aironet........plz help

    The wireless router -dlink etc..is a cable/dsl router with an AP stuck to it. There are not many settings you can play with like power levels etc. This is what you get grandma so she has a firewall and NAT capability to keep some of the bastages, and also an AP so she can use her new laptop she got for christmas because you love her so much.
    A Cisco or other enterprise device is exactly that. Designed to work in an enterprise. It has bells and whistles you haven't even thought of.
    Although this link:
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
    is for a third party firmware that allows dlink et. al. to have very good capabilities they didn't come with...
    I cannot attest to it but many good friends swear by it for their personal use.

  • Problem with cisco series 800 router and SMTP

    the problem is that when i try to send any email from client (windows mail) i receive a error 533: you need to supply the correct username and password.
    when trying throught hmailserver i receive an email "undeliverable" with this error in body:
    Error Type: SMTP
    Remote server (62.149.128.202) issued an error.
    hMailServer sent: EHLO Globalnet
    Remote server replied: 502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)
    receving email work correctly.
    i'm already using smtp auth, and with my old router everything work fine.

    i attach my config:

    Dear sirs
    Thank you for answer so quickly
    I download this document from Cisco “Configuring the (Remote) Common Application Programming Interface for Cisco 800 Series Router”.
    I have a Lan with Asterisk IP-PBX , the Cisco router have a BRI to public exchange (ISDN) , the router act like a DCP (ISDN- Device Control Protocol) server and listen (DCP messages) in 2578 port.
    I need o know the contents of the TCP frame that carry (ISDN-TCP, the DCP messages) to put a SIP client to talk with PSTN/ISDN using the router. I want to write a software module in Asterisk that translate SIP in (ISDN-DCP) to connect the SIP Phones to the PSTN/ISDN using the BRI ports of the Cisco router. I need to now the contents of this message to dialogue with RCAPI server of the router.
    If forum is the right place perhaps to put this, Could you give me a better place, a mail or other forum to receive the speciation of (ISDN-DCP)
    thank you
    With kinds Regards

  • WRT54G router and call of duty online gaming

    I just bought the WRT54G wireless router and had no problem installing it. I was able to get internet connection on the wired desktop and the wireless laptop. However, when I start playing 'Call of Duty 4' online, within a couple of minutes I start to lose internet connectivity until it completely goes out. At the same time, I will lose connectivity on my laptop as well. In one iteration of fixing this problem, my laptop displayed a message that said something about an 'IP address conflict'.
    I called tech support and tried a few different changes in configurations, including changing the MTU to 1400 and creating a static IP address in the 'Accessibility and Gaming' section of the Linksys configurations.
    I read several other posts that mention a gaming wireless router (WK300TN or something like that). Do I need that even if I'm gaming on the wired desktop and not on the wireless laptop? Help!

    yes WRT310N, WRT330N etc are build for good performance in gaming. Those would definitely improve situation.

  • BEFW11S4 and Verizon DSL

    I have Verizon DSL at home, looking to set up wireless network.
    Verizon recommends the Linksys BEFW11S4, but gives no indication why.
    Looking at posts for that product in this forum it seems the BEFW11S4 is an older product. Does anyone have experience with this Linsys router and Verizon DSL?
    tim

    You can buy any wireless router you want. They all shall work.
    (The only thing is N versions will not work with your laptop if your laptop is G and the router is N only.) BestBuy will push you to buy N because it is the most expensive.
    My colleagues and I tend to stick with Linksys, NetGear, and DLink.
    Many techies stay away from Belkin. You figure.

  • Problems hooking up my router to my dsl modem

    ok, first off I have a emachines computer running on windows millenium edition. A westell dsl modem model 6100, and a linksys wireless G 2.4ghz broadband router  model number wrt54gs version 6. all this connects to a 3com  etherlink xl 10/100 pci tx NIC model number 3C905B-TX. Lastnight I searched for any and all help I could find to install this router due to the multiple problems I had trying to get it all to work together, just as I finally got it working 5 hours later, it was bed time and I shut it all down. I woke in the morning to use the computer and was heavily irritated to find myself back at no internet connection and was unable to get any of this equipment to work again. Now finally after I restored my computers operating system and resetting my dsl modem, I have internet again. I just bought this router and I am very disappointed in how difficult it has been. If anyone could help me on installing this, give me details on exactly what to change, or do to make this work, I would be very grateful. I am aware of the issues between westell modems, verizon dsl and linksys routers. From what I have read its almost not designed to all work together at all unless you tweak with it forever and ever and never shut your equipment down. Please if anyone can help, give me step by step instructions or your experiences that could help me make it work right, please respond, thank you.

    Use this LINK as a reference to configure your router to use a DSL connection.  Also go to the linksys web site and make sure your router has the latest firmware.  If not download the latest version and update it.

    I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says -  'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

    how to configure one dsl connection and one public ip in cisco router and map to one interface for using exchange server

    Hi ,
     Have you got any additional public IP Address from your service provider , If yes on router you can have static route for those additional IP Address pointing to your ASA  outside interface . 
    Accordingly you can configure NAT

  • I set up a new router and the windows machines have no problem with connectivity.  I go through the MacBook Pro's airport assistant and view my network and then enter the WPA2 password.  I get back a message saying the password is incorrect when it is

    I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine.  My MacBook Pro does not.  I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect.  And, it isn't!  Very frustrating.  What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router.  Again, only on the Mac.  Thanks!

    If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.
