WTR54GS Fails to obtain a DHCP IP Address from Upstream

Greetings!
I had effectively given-up on Linksys Router WTR54GS, as it was advertised that it could be plugged into a pre-existing network (friends home network, a hotel room ethernet jack, etc), but sadly the WTR54GS itself is incapable of obtaining a DHCP IP Address from an upstream DHCP server (like the hotel, etc).
I have tried repeatedly to work with Linksys Support but everyone wants to blame the upstream router, suggesting that I change it's configuration to "Bridged-mode". Yeah, right. Like I'm going to walk down to the hotel lobby main desk and tell them that they need to place THEIR network in bridged mode just so my WTR54GS will work. I was willing to believe that the first router (version 2.0) that I was sent was defective, and let Tech Support talk me into returning it to my vendor and seeking a replacement.
I receieved the replacement (this time version 1.0) and had EXACTLY the same problem. I returned that one as well (marked defective) after talking with Ellen in Linksys 2nd Level Technical Support. She promised this would be referred to the Linksys Engineering group for further study. This was 4+ months ago.
I would like to buy another one, but am hesitant to buy because I just do not trust Linksys Technical Support anymore. Can someone please confirm that Linksys Engineering is aware of this problem, acknowledges its existence, and has resolved (or is at least working on resolving) this problem?

So you have connected WTR through the correct (blue) port to the internet connection?
You have configured the WTR for wired internet connection type?
You have configured the WTR for DHCP?
What does the WTR say on the Status page?
Have you tested the WTR inside your home network?

Clients not receiving DHCP IP address from HREAP centrally Switched Guest SSID

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a newly deployed branch site where the Clients are not receiving DHCP IP address from a centrally switched Guest SSID. I see the client status is associated but the policy manager state is in DHCP_REQD.
The dhcp pool is configured on the controller itself. The local guest clients are able to get DHCP and all works fine, the issue is only with the clients in the remote site. The Hreap APs are in connected mode. Could you please suggest what could be the problem. Below is the out of the debug client.

I tried to track issue with microsoft network monitor I'm attaching the capture file also please help me to sort out this issue
capture report https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=AFE3D0245A92F6F8%21183

The issue is that your machine is not being assigned an IP address / was unable to reach the DHCP server to receive one. The 169.254.x.x IP your machine is showing isn't assigned from DHCP, it's assigned by the local machine and is referred to as an APIPA
address.
So something is preventing your machine from reaching your DHCP server, which could one of a number of things. In the first instance I'd suggest having a look at
http://epan36.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/eventid-1001-dhcp-your-computer-was-not.html which lists several of things that could cause this error and things you can try in order to resolve it.
If none of those work, can you confirm whether you have any other machines connecting via the same method on the network, which might indicate whether this is an issue at the machine end or somewhere between the machine and DHCP server?

Guest VLAN unable to get DHCP IP address from Anchor Controller

Hello everybody,
In our test set up, we have two WLC 5508 Controllers connected via Checkpoint UTM-1 firewall Inside and DMZ Interfaces. Both the WLC controllers are connected to the firewall via Cisco 3750 switch. On the Local (Inside) Controller, guest SSID is enabled and attached to the wireless management Interface. On the remote anchor controller, guest SSID is enabled and attached to the Management Interface as well. The following configs are replicated on both the Controllers.
SSID Name - guest
Interface - Management ( VLAN 10 on Local and VLAN 20 on remote) -
Mobility Group: Same configs at both ends
SSID Anchor : Anchor SSID on local and local SSID on Anchor.
AP: CAPWAP 3502 Management Subnet
SSID Security etc all defaults and matching on both ends
Checkpoint Firewall Rules: Allowed 16666-7, IP 97 etc on the firewall
Checkpoint Inside/DMZ to Outside(Internet) is NAT enabled.
EoIP Tunnel Status: Up, UP - Both ends
Mping - OK
eping - OK
WLC Sofware Version on Local - 7.0.98.0
WLC Sofware Version on Local - 7.0.116.0
DHCP Scope: Definitions on Anchor Controller and Guest Anchor SSID points to the Anchor management IP as the Primary DHCP server.
Management IP Subnet on Local: 10.x.x.x
Management IP Subnet on Anchor: 172.x.x.x
The problem definition as follows:
When guest SSID associates to the local AP, the guest SSID never gets a DHCP address assigned from the Anchor Controller and the following debugs are obtained.
1. WLAN ID 1 (for Guest SSID Number) delete message appears in the Controller message logs, but the SSID does not DHCP from the local Management Subnet and i can see DHCP request via the tunnel to the Anchor WLC as follows:

Is there any thing missing in the wireless configs and or the firewall rules as i could not see DHCP request back from the Anchor Controller. Also, after DHCP is obtained, the web authentication request will be redirected to an Amigopod device for authentication. In this case is the redirect URL congiguration to be performed only on the Anchor Controller or is this to be replicated on both the Local and Anchor Controllers.
Thanks and Regards.

The DHCP issue is resolved if external DHCP server is configured on a 3750 switch connected to the WLC and the default gateway for DHCP points to the Firewall, which is in the data path between the Inside and Anchor Controllers. DHCP is essentially bridged (no Proxy setting now) from the EoIP tunnel to the Distribution system network. We will test this solution on pilot production and then consider upgrading to 7.0.116.0, as there are about six offices running 7.0.98.0, which will need to be upgraded.
For L3 security, configuration is set up on both the controllers for external captive portal redirection.I will try this only on the Anchor and revert.
Thanks again very much for all your help.

Cisco E1000 wont connect to internet anymore - not getting DHCP ip address from Comcast modem

Very strange issue...
I have Comcast HSI and have been using my Cisco (Linksys) E1000 for about 3 years now. Bought it as a refurb.
My issue is that the E1000 is NOT receiving the DHCP info from my Comast modem.
The internet works when my laptop is directly attached to the modem; but when connecting the modem internet port
to the E1000 internet port it is NOT grabbing my ISP DHCP ip address thus no clients can broswe 'wired or wireless'.
I even updated the firmware and am starting to think its time to get a 'BRAND NEW' router as this makes NO SENSE!
I cannot release/renew as i have NO ip address to release. I have even tried to configure the E1000 as a static
using the ipconfig/all from when the laptop and modem was connected. Comcast says they see nothing on their end.
I also factory defaulted the router and redid the config to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to enable MAC address clone on the router to recognize the connection from your cable modem. The link below would tell you how to configure the router to work with a cable connection and how to do MAC address clone.

Obtain remote client IP address from webservice with WL 7.0.7

Hi,
Please Help!!
I need to get the remote client IP address from inside a webservice but with WLS 7.0.7. I know it is possible with WL 8:
WebServiceContext wsContext = WebServiceContext.currentContext();
WebServiceHttpSessionImpl vHttp = (WebServiceHttpSessionImpl)wsContext.getSession();
vHttp.request.getRemoteAddr();
But WL 7 has not available WebServiceContext.currentContext() method.
Thank you very much

This was logged as an enhancement which I believe was hoping to make it into one of the later 6i releases of forms. Ref:<Bug:856958> if you can access via metalink or Support.

I had four cRIO-9073s on a remote switch in one of our labs, that MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) was saying were using Link-local addresses. In fact, all were using the EXACT SAME address: 169.254.62.215. Very strange! I was able to talk to them using MAX some times, doing remote restarts, etc., but other times not. All were configured to grab a DHCP address or fall back to link-local.
As it turns out, the RIOs were attached to a Cisco switch that has a feature callled STP fully enabled on all ports. STP is designed to prevent accidental loops in the network from downing your network, and that feature blocks all initial transmissions from attached devices for 30 seconds before letting them through, while it "listens" and "learns" about your device, analyzing to make sure that letting it connect won't create a loop. Apparently this 30 second delay (forever in computer terms!) is too long for the cRIOs, so they take a link-local address, and since they can't even check the network for other link-local users because their transmissions aren't being forwarded, they all take the exact same address. I'm still amazed MAX can find them under these conditions!
The way to get it working is to turn on "PortFast" on the Cisco switches, which simply disables the steps in STP that cause the slowdown (blocking, listening, learning). Fortunately this can be done on a port-by-port basis, as it's recommended to NOT turn it on if ports are going to another switch (as that then opens the door for a loop).

EA4500 Won't get a DHCP WAN address from Cable Modem

I have an EA 4500 that I used to replace a bad WRT45 (or something like that). We have an ADT camera system that allows you to view the cameras locally and remotely. All I have to do is set a static internal address on the DVR and the public IP on the router in the application. I duplicated the setting in the old router and everything was running smoothly. However, the speed test result I was getting from the router and speedtest.net were not even close to what we were paying for (wireless and wired. But it was functional.
I called Comcast and they said we needed a Docsis 3 modem. So, I went to the Comcast office and they traded out my modem for a docsis 3. Hooked it up and everything was working again. Speeds were better but not really up to par. Hooked my laptop directly into the new modem and I was getting speeds off the charts. Frustrated, I called Comcast, they said the modem needed to be put in Bridge mode. Then the EA4500 wouldn't get a DHCP WAN adress. They took it out of bridge mode. Same result.
They sent a tech out (Mind you I've been a Network Engineer for almost 20 yrs) and he tells me they gave me the wrong modem (I wasn't there either, roommate let him in). He replaced the modem with a new all inclusive router/switch/wifi modem. He then proceeds to setup a whole new network, which of course , except the laptops that connected, my devices don't see ( printers, cameras, dvr, etc). Then, this baffles me... he did a factory reset on my EA4500. So now there are 2 seperate networks one with slow Internet and one without WAAN services.
After all this, my EA4500 still will not get a WAN address when plugged into the new modem. I would just use their new modem but to make any config changesto it, something as simple as changing the SSID name or the password, you have to call them. They won't give you access to the admin page.
Anyone have any ideas why my EA4500 won't get a WAN address? Oh, btw, I did do a MAC address clone on the EA4500 while connected to the modem and it DID get the address, but the speeds were dismal, not even 1mb up or down.

@stix180
There is a need to reset and reconfigure the EA4500 router to work with the new modem. There are certain configurations on the router that will make it work for a particular modem, and this might be causing the issue. Cable modem authenticates end users through username and password but there are cable modem/router as well in which the IP address are on the same range with the default IP address of the router. Please try to check the IP address of the computer wired directly to your modem, it should not be on the same IP address range with the EA4500 router since it will cause IP address conflict. You can change the default IP address of your router from 192.168.1.1 to 10.10.10.1. Please try to make sure that your router also has the latest firmware version installed. And it would help if you do port forwarding on the router for your camera and DVRs to resolve NAT issues.

Is it possible to obtain the last IP address from which the device has displayed a message from Find My iPhone ?

Hello, a couple of months ago my macbook got stolen so when yesterday i recieved an email my message was displayed on it i was wondering if there is a possibility to get the last IP address used on that machine .So if there is such possibility could someone direct me how to do it ?

I'm sorry, but I'm still not clear on the problem. Do you mean that you have both "Smith Family" and "John Smith" tied to the same email address? If so, again, that "friendly" name isn't sent to the recipient, so the person receiving the email will get exactly the same thing regardless of whether you select the "Smith Family" entry or the "John Smith" entry. The "friendly" name doesn't go along as part of the email.
It would only matter on your end when looking at your Sent email, and if that's an issue, it should be no problem to select which one you want; just start entering in the email address/name and wait a second; you'll get a dropdown with all the addresses that meet that criteria and you can just pick the correct one.
Forgive me if I'm still not understanding what the difficult is or what you're trying to accomplish.

How do I obtain a client IP address in Weblogic 9.1 ?

I have tried to obtain the client IP address from a web service transaction in Weblogic 9.1.
Since weblogic.webservice.context.WebServiceContext has been provided in Weblogic 8.1, WebServiceContext and WebServiceSession could be used to get IP address. However, the class turned to be deprecated after Weblogic 9.0, I don't think the class should be used.
Does anyone know if there are any alternative classes or methods provided to obtain IP address in Weblogic 9.1? If so, please tell me.
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I am not familiar with this model, so will need to read up a bit.
Just to confirm......does this appear to be your "modem"?

If yes, you might be interested to learn that it is a modem/router....also known as a gateway device.....quite different from a simple modem.....so the requirement to connect will be different from a simple modem.

Can't get IP address from dhcpcd-error

Hi,
I'm on a fully updated (as of before 24h) Arch PC which, till yesterday evening worked fine.
When I rebooted this morning it failed to get a dynamic IP address from the router. The following repeated 3 times till it timed out:
dhcpcd: eth0 hardware address XXXX claims 192.168.2.101
send raw packet: Bad file description
I managed to get connected by manullay assigning the same IP adress to eth0 , adding a default gw, and editing my resolv.conf.
Same errors repeated after resetting my router and shutting down my PC and disconnecting its power plug for 15 seconds (to clear any statics on the Ethernet card).
Net configuration:
Arch PC, with single wired interface (eth0) connected to Edimax router on 192.168.2.0 LAN.
Router, with 192.168.2.1 IP address, connected o ADSL "modem" and configured to provide DHCP services in 192.168.2.100-200 address range with unlimited lease period.
Please advise!
Thanks!

Solved, Ineed it has been an iptables problem.

Tecra M5 fails to obtain an IP address with Orange Livebox

I have a new Toshiba Tecra M5 notebook.
When I try to connect to my Orange Livebox wirelessly, it manages to connect but fails to obtain an IP address.
I have spent days trying everything.
I have followed previous postings on this but nobody appears to have posted a definitive answer. I have tried updating wireless lan driver etc but have got nowhere.
Somebody please help before I go nuts.

Make sure you are using the correct encryption (WEP/WPA/WPA2 with AES/TKIP and password). Eventually you might want to disable the password/encryption to check your equipment for proper function.

WRT54G2 V1 Fails to get WAN DHCP address

Hi All,
I have a new WRT54G2 V1 that works fine, with the exception it will not pickup a DHCP address from the cable modem. I have gone through the standard steps assuring the modems, cables and computers work on other setups and have no issues there.
The wireless and hub portions of the G2 work as usual. I flashed the firmware to the latest FW_WRT54G2V1_1.0.04.005_US and there is no change in operation, also the G2 responds correctly to a full reset to factory settings.
On the router's reboot the WAN light comes on briefly (assume self-test), but remains off after the router is fully booted.
Have I forgotten something obvious, or is this an out-of-the-box failure ?
Cheers,

Once more step which you can try is, connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN Port 1 and the other end of that cable to the Internet Port of the Router and then check if the WAN light on your Router lids or not...
If it still doesn't lid, then i think it might be the problem with the Router itself, and you need to replace your Router.
