View 2 RepliesI'm currently switching from a certain internet provider to another and I'm forced to get another router. What I wanted to do is since the initial router has to be on the first floor, I'd like to have the second one on the top floor closer to my computer whereas they would share a dedicated connection between each other wirelessly so it would make my connection faster rather than just having my pc connect directly wirelessly to the initial router on the first floor. Is that possible?

I am trying to setup a double-NAT network with just one IP from my ISP through the ASA & 3825 going to (2) end nodes and multiple ports for port forwarding. It is currently working but only as simple PAT and I cannot initiate FTP from the outside. removing the router, but this is my study LAB and it's a bit unconventional for learning purposes. I attached the diagram and need parts of the config.

I have my DSL modem in bridge mode and I have my router set up to sign into my ISP's PPPoE to avoid double-routing. This set up worked marvelously with my previous WRT54G and WRT610N routers.Now the E4200 signs me out of PPPoE every ten minutes or so. I have the connection setting on "Keep Alive" but it seems to be dropping the connection regularly. I took the router back and was given a replacement. The new router is doing the same exact thing and now I am beyond the 30 day return limit so I'm stuck with the E4200. I'm running the latest firmware 1.0.03
I reinstalled the WRT610N and the connection is steady but the WRT610N has its own problems (devices connected via wireless cannot see wired devices and vice-versa). I'd like my new router to actually work properly. I've ruled out errors on my end and given that two brand new units of the E4200 generated the same problem I tend to believe it is a design error.
I have inherited a Cisco VPN 3005 and need to configure an interesting scenario:
2 LAN-2-LAN tunnels: 1 required an outside IP and has an existing static NAT of 192.168.1.1 -> 12.2.1.1 for 0.0.0.0 as the destination.I now have a need to created a new NAT for 192.168.1.1 to translate to 10.99.1.1 for destination of 13.3.1.1, 14.3.1.1 and 15.3.1.1.
Is it possible to have the above scenario, or even NAT 12.2.1.1 from the first NAT back to 10.99.1.1??

Here is the thing I am trying to solve:
Original Packet
SRC: 1.1.1.1
DST: 1.1.1.10
After it hits the firewall and it comes out on the outside interface I want this:
SRC: 2.2.2.1
DST: 2.2.2.10
Now when I set this up the way I did in 8.0(4) it just ain't working.
All the NAT examples I can find are simple NATs, I have not been able to find an example of a SRC and DST NAT.
is it to increaze the broadbandwith by using a double usb-modem dial-up ...i know tha we can use double connection, but not in real time...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI only have access to rather slow connections (256 Kbps). But since I have two lines and two modems, I was wondering if I could bond them together and make a faster one. My main modem is a Lynksys WAG120N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router, which as you can see is also in charge of both wired and wireless networks at my place. The second one is an older D-Link ADSL modem (JUST modem).Since I have an extra LAN port on my Lynksys modem, I want to know if and how I can connect the second modem, and combine the two rates.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to networking (at least at this level) and need some guidance. First, I have an Actiontec MI424WR (Rev. F) Coax Verizon Fios modem that I use as my home networking wireless router. From a LAN port on that I've connected a cable to the WAN port on my DIR-655 which acts as my gigabit office hard wire/wireless router. I need to keep the home network and the office network separate.All of my computers are Windows, either 7, Vista or XP.Connected to my Dir-655 on the office network are 2 wireless computers, a printer, an IOMEGA 1TB Home Personal Cloud NAS HDD, plus 2 desktop computers.The DIR-655 is set with a static IP address matching the range of the Actiontec. The DIR-655 is set for DHCP for the devices on the network (although 2 of the computers have static IP address).
When the DIR-655 had a Dynamic IP address set by the Actiontec, the IOMEGA NAS HDD kept losing connection with all the devices on the network. Only after I set the DIR-655 to static IP did that stop and everybody started to play nice. I'm not sure why that would make a difference, but it did.But regardless of whether it is set to dynamic or static, no computer on the network or program, even third party programs, can connect to ANY of the time servers out there... and I mean any of them. I've tried at least 20 or more of the standard and not so standard ones. The DIR-655's time is off, and it is set to get time automatically. None of my computers, or my IOMEGA NAS, can access time. The Actiontec, though, seems to be set correctly.Everything connects to the internet just fine. Web, email, auto product upgrades. Fine. So far it's just the time server thing which troubles.I done everything I know how to do to enable Port Forwarding through both routers for NTP > UDP 123 since that is the standard port for the Network Time Protocol, but I could have easily screwed that up.
We just upgraded our Sg300 series switches to the new IOS so we can get CLI access. The upgrade went fine but it seems we have two login prompts, the first being completely unnecessary as you can just hit return to get by it. IE here is the progression:
1. Connect SSH
2. Receive a "login:" prompt. Anything can be entered here, including just return
3. Login banner is displayed
4. Username Prompt is then displayed. Valid username required
5. Password Prompt displayed - Valid password required
6. Now at CLI 1. Connect SSH
I am trying to get rid of that first login prompt (IE Step 2) as it is causing issues with our configuration software. I have tried every line and authentication command I can think of, the only thing that gets rid of it is using none authentication which obviously we can't stay with. how did you get around it?
I have an HP C5280 printer running wirelessly via a TP Link wireless print server and D Link Di 624 wireless router. I can print successfully from either my desktop (which is connected direct to the D Link router) or either of my laptops (wireless). However, when I select the double-sided print option I get a print error message after re-inserting the odd number pages to print the other side of the paper and then click 'continue'.Could I resolve this by connecting the printer both direct to the desktop using USB AND leaving it connected via the wireless TP Link print server? This would enable me to print double-sided from my desktop (as I did before when the printer was only connected via the USB desktop port).

I have a problem with my home network/internet - I have a working wireless network that I have used for some time now and it works just fine. the problem is that internet restrictions where I live require me to register each unit to the building network before I can gain access to the internet. My caretaker told me today that normally, I only should register my primary computer and the wireless router to be able to use the internet freely. However when a new laptop appears( I have a guest), I can easily connect it to my own wireless, but it can't use the internet, as if it needed to be registered again. I ran out of registration codes and I really would like to have freedom i connection opportunities. The caretaker said that the system gives every registered unit a "fake" IP, so after giving it to mu router, all other units connected through that router should have unlimited access. Is my network configured in a wrong way? I don't know how to ask this in a more simple way... I just want to be able to connect a friends laptop to the net with just my local password, which isn't happening.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 cisco switches that are at different sites one is a Cisco CAT4500 and other 3560. The connection between the switches is a layer 2 fibre link. CAT4500 and 3560 both have VLAN interface ip addresses in order for me to connect to the switches.
I have PC A connected to CAT4500 and PC B connecting to 3560. All these devices are the same VLAN and in the same subnet. I do have trunk links all the way though allowing this vlan as we run vlans. From PC A, I can ping CAT4500, 3560 and even PC B. This tells me everything is fine regarding Layer 2 & 3.
As soon as I move PC B and connect it to the other switch CAT4500 or move the other PC vice versa (this happens in both directions). Both switches learn that the mac address has moved locations and updates its mac address table accordingly. So when I do a show mac address table and show arp, everything has learned and moved fine. However when I try to ping any other device from PC B I cannot. So the 3560 switch PC B was originally connected to, I can no longer ping, the switch cannot see the pc also. It is as if PC B has not learned anything from the switch and cannot respond or reply to any icmp. I have tried this with different end devices, same thing. I am now thinking it has something to do with the switch.
I have this ARRIS router from Comcast that actually blocks some ports, so I can't use certain programs. I noticed this cause when I played this game, Ragnarok Online, I googled that it needs to open certain ports for me to login. Another would be my CoD, where I need to open some ports to join certain games.
Then I told my roommate that we need more LAN ports for our xbox, ps3 and TV. So we used this old router as a switch. At first, we used 1 of 4 LAN ports of the ARRIS Comcast router to the "Internet" port of the old router, so we thought we would have 4 more LAN ports provided by the old router. First day, it actually worked, and I was surprised that some sites aren't blocked, and I can login to Ragnarok Online. After some time, it stopped working, so I googled it then it says I have to Disable DHCP, use an IP address that's not used by the ARRIS router, then plug in the cable to 1 of the 4 LAN ports of the old router, not the "Internet" port. I did, then it worked again.
It did work as a switch, but how come it worked before where no sites/ports are blocked?To sum it all up, is there a way to make the switch (old router) work when I plugged the cable on the "Internet" port?

Currently we have a wired connection going direct to the the switch however we would like to have a backup wireless connection via two range extenders.
I've currently got my network setup similar to the picture below, except:
1. I only have PC1 and PC3 connected. Both PCs are running Windows 7.
2. I've got an XBox and PS3 connected to the router
My ISP provides two IP addresses, PC1 has its own IP and the Router has the other one. All devices are able to connect to the internet; however, PC1 is not able to communicate with the devices connected to the router. Is there anyway to get this network to work? I basically want it as if all devices were just connected to the router, but with PC1 having its own IP, and the Router having its own IP.I've used the exact same configuration in the past with both computers running Windows XP and was able to get the two computers to communicate by installing some protocol. However, I heard that the protocol was really outdated or something and not good to use for security reasons, but it did what I wanted it to do so I used it.
