I was talking to a friend today and he told me that a router changes the IP address you're given to by the ISP? So I checked with whatismyip.org and let's say with the router, it showed, 29.28.29.450, Then I took the router out and just used the modem and it showed as 29.28.29.449 If I were to use a different router, would it end with 450 again? Or an entirely different number, because the router is of a different brand? I'm assuming having a router is good for protection from malware, trojans and what not?
I have a D-Link DIR-632 router flashed to DD-WRT.My original setup to my cable modem worked fine, i set up my wireless parameters via the DD-WRT software and everything was peachy until last week when my access (on the ISP end) was interrupted. Time Warner sent out a serviceman while I was at work and apparently he "Changed the IP Address".Now when I try to connect via my router, I get constant DNS errors (Windows 7 64 Pro).
my belkin wireless changed ip address on its own and now i cant get to my router homepage are connect xbox wirelessly. my computer seems to connect without a problem, what do i need to to?
I have a Windows 7 computer. My boss changed the IPv4 address of this computer. Nowalthough all computers can connect to the network, they can no longer see this computer. And this computer cannot connect to the other computers.
I've configured a easy VPN between cisco 3845 and cisco 871 router, 3845 is VPN Server.I am facing problem at client router ie.whenever The public IP address is changed the VPN is disconnecting.
Everything was working fine and I was poking around in the router settings and clicked the Clone Mac Address button to see what it did and hit Apply.
Now the internet isn't working (on the neighbor's internet) and I can't even get back on the router (192.168.1.1) I reset the router but it still isn't working.
I have an ASUS Wireless Router RT-N66R.
Edit: I got back on the router but now my wireless MAC address is the same as the LAN MAC address. I think this is what the cloning did. Is there any way to find my old MAC address?
The section is titled Special Requirement from ISP so I think I may need to use a certain MAC address but I don't remember what the old one was.
i'm running a 5510 asa and the vpn has been working great for a while. We recently change our network provider so i had to change the public ip, and dns on the firewall... now i can still connect via the vpn and browse accross my mpls to other sites, but cant really access anything on the native lan that the firewall resides on?
The company I work for has a small network and it has a windows 2000 server. When the Canon iRC 2880 printer is connected the server gives a error saying that a duplicate name exits in the network. I tried changing the IP address as well. When I changed the IP address of the printer the duplicate IP address moved the new IP address.
ISP is Virgin media with whom I have been with for a number of years.Recently discovered that the package I have which is only broadband ,speed at approx 10mb at a cost of £22.50 has been overtaken by new package of a wireless/ethernet hub, which replaces my old tin box router, with a min speed of 30mb for the same price!As soon as I raised the obvious query with Virgin the router was placed in the post to reach me by next Tuesday.
I have talktalk router,I need to change it with Belkin router,how I cant set up a connection? My self I have try but the connection is but router is not connect.
My son decided to update our router firmware, together with this the password was changed. My computer which hosts the Internet connection works fine, all other laptops have now been connected successfully after simply changing the password. However my wifes laptop won't play ball. It is a Samsung R510, with Vista Home Premium OS. It worked fine prior to updating the firmware. I have been through the process of changing the password and have the correct security encryption in place, exactly the same process as with the other laptops.
It then says successfully connected, but shows in the bottom right of the screen, Unidentified network access local only and will not connect when the browser is opened. I have tried to diagnose but the usual windows prompt to reboot both modem and router has no effect. I have set it to private, as advised elsewhere, I have switched the firewall off and removed security software, all to no avail.
I tried the command prompt, then ipconfig/renew. An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Connection: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out. No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has media disconnected. Let me stress that no changes were made to the laptop at all, it is simply not connecting following the firmware update and password change. All other computers, and phones, 6 in total, are all working fine from simply changing the password.
cisco 2561xm router with WIC1-adsl card and NM-16ESW switchIOS: c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-23.bin ,I recently had to temporarily disconnect my above router for a few days and replace it with a cheap plastic home router and was embarrased to discover my adsl broadband speed shot up 45% with the cheap router. With the cisco 2651XM I always got a max download of 400kb/sec but with the cheap router I was getting 580kb/sec. Clearly something is wrong with my cisco config, I put this down to the mtu setting, which in the cheap router wasn't shown but set to auto. I've tried different mtu settings in the cisco router (including 'no mtu' but never get more than 400Kb/sec.My isp indicates optimum mtu is 1500 but that doesn't produce any speed increase.What can I do here to get the cisco router working to maximum speed?
Changed from D-Link to Netgear router now only one of two computers cannot see the other. Error shows cannot connect to MSHOME network, need administrative approval. Computers are ethernet connected to the router. Have McAffe and both computers are "Trusted" Can do a search with XP and it shows the missing computer but unable to make a connection.
I had to change from a WRT300N wireless router which died to a new E2500. I noticed that the speed my computers report that they are connected to the wireless network connection is now 144.5 mps, versus 270 mps with the WRT300N. There is no change in location of the devices or computers. The computers use a WUSB300N adapter.Is there a setting or setup that needs to be changed?
recently I changed my ISP in hopes of getting better services for a cheaper price. The package I got claims that it has 24mbps download speed. I went on speedtest.net and compared the download speeds between my old ISP and the new one and it turns out it was the same; 7mbps. Either the technicians who came over to setup the new internet messed up or the WRT120N is having problems.
I have a Netgear N600 Dual Band Gigabit Router and my roomate and I both have the wireless xbox and when we connect to xbox live and find a game on call of duty mw2 we lagg our butt off nd we tried changing the channel on the router but it still seems to lag.
I have manually configured the E2000 and set the admin password. When I was trying to log back in, I could not. I reset and reconfigured and set the password again. I still could not log in using "admin" and the password I set up. I thought I was losing my mind. Just on a hunch, I used the SSID name instead of "admin", then entered the password that worked. I am able to login, but I need the username to be admin, not the SSID. Has anyine else had this issue? Any way to change the administrator name back to admin??
I recently upgraded the firmware on my wrt 160N v3 and changed the wireless security to WPA2 Personal from WEP (I needed to do this to get higher speeds from a recently purchased wireless adapter). Now the router stops transmitting a signal intermittently for about a minute before coming back on line. The time between droppages is also not the same. Before the firmware upgrade (and the change in security settings) the router was rock solid. Where I can get the older version of the firmware (which seems to be more stable than the current version)?
I have a wrt160n router set up at a friends house that i would connect my windows xp laptor to when i would go there. it always worked fine. i recently got a new laptop with vista 64 bit OS. i went to my friends today and connected via wireless for the first time. i expected to get prompted for the security key. instead it asked for the pin #. the pin number was something new i noticed when i replaced an older linksys with the new wrt160n so i had it in my notes. i entered the pin number and connected to the wireless router. but then my friend laptop could not connect and said it couldnt find the network. when i viewed the available networks, i noticed that the original network SSID had been changed to my vista laptop's computer name. i had to physically connect my laptop to the router and reconfigure the settings of the wireless network. then my friend was able to see the available network and automatically connect..
I have a Linksys E3000, have had it successfully connected for three months now. Recently I attempted to connect my xbox 360 to the wifi and had issues connecting it. So I called ATT to obtain the PPPoE username and password, which they reluctantly gave me. Entered that into the xbox and still unable to connect, so I have given up on the xbox for the time being, I'll post that issue in a different forum. Where my issue is now is since contacting ATT the WPA2 password I set up for the router no longer works. I cannot access the router setup page, and I cannot add any new wifi devices. Although, all of the previously connected wifi devices are still connected to the router despite this issue. Is there anyway to make the old password work, or do I have to reset the router and start from scratch, and God forbid contact ATT again?
Recently, I bought the E3200, and tried to configure its ports for gaming. Yet, whenever I would hit save settings, it would say my settings were saved, then return me to the settings page. But the settings would be blank. I tried downloading firmware from the website (which should say September 28), yet it still says I am running the firmware from September 1st, even after I applied the upgrade and followed through with the 50 second reboot process.
So, I guess my final question for any tech savvy person out there is "What is wrong with my router/firmware?" I am running the browser config in the most recent Firefox on the same MacBook I used to install the router, and haven't changed any settings other than the SSID and password.
I bought E900, accessed setup thru 192.168.1.1, upgraded its firmware.. then changed router's IP, it reboots, then went blank, I cannot access the setup page anymore?
I switched from Time Capsule with AirPort to E2000 and have a problem with configuration.I use the same IPs as in AirPort and E2000 gives me an error:"The WAN IP address cannot be the same subnet as the Guest Network IP address" and I can't save configuration.But in my opinion they are different.I use "Static IP" option and I have IPs from my ISP: [code] So WAN IP is different subnet as LAN and I don't know what to do now. It worked with these settings in AirPort and here I can't proceed.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS v5.1 router running firmware 1.52.5.I am trying to use Linksys IP Phones SPA942, but these do not seem to be able to log on and just show "Initializing network" even though the MAC address appears in the router with an IP address.The strange thing is that I already have 4 SPA941 phones that work with no problem and just log on to the network.Is there something about the SPA942 that I need to configure differently, I have factory reset it with sucess, but still unable to log on to the network.
Since I changed the password on my wireless router{linksys}, my desktop is fine but both laptops cannot find network connection. when I ipconfig/all I get "media disconnected" and no ip address.
We have an ADSL connection and use a D-Link DSL-320B modem. We have a D-Link DIR-120 router connected to this modem. This has worked perfectly fine up until today when we disconnected the router and connected a computer (call it A) directly to the modem because it was getting an unusable connection through the router for some reason. We later also performed a factory reset on the DIR-120 router.
Unfortunately, after the above steps the router did not receive any IP address (through DHCP) from the ADSL connection anymore. During my attempts to debug this I noticed that my laptop (call it B) didn't get any IP address either (when connected directly to the modem). I noticed the following syslog entries repeating over and over while trying to connect: [code]
At this point computer A could still get a connection just fine tho (when connected directly to the modem).
I then tried to change the MAC address of the router to an arbitrary one (a copy of computer B's MAC address but with the last digit increased by one). The router still did not get assigned any IP address. Finally I tried making the router clone the MAC address of a third computer (call it C). C has never been connected directly to the modem. Doing this worked. After cloning the MAC address of computer C the router is immediately assigned an IP address and the internet connection works as it did prior to all this.
Now, my question is, why would computer B and the original MAC address of the router not be able to get an IP address while two other computers worked just fine? Why would changing to an arbitrary MAC address not work while cloning the MAC address of another computer did? Could the router's MAC address have been blocked by the ISP for some reason (and what could cause this)?
but my situation seems more like a blacklisting of some MAC addresses rather then allowing just a single MAC address.
Tonight I went to lay down in bed and decided to start up the Wii for some Netflix. About 30 minutes into watching my program, my connection suddenly cut out. I got up and checked my modem, and sure enough the "online" light was blinking.
I did the usual power cycle thing with no luck. The whole time I am thinking to myself "I swear I just paid that thing a week ago!". After power cycling 3 times, I decided to check the router settings by going to my router manager page (192.168.1.1).
I look through my basic settings when I noticed my DNS address was no longer set to "Get automatically for ISP". Well, that's not right. It now had a new primary and secondary DNS listed. I couldn't remember if either of those addresses were always there. I switched it back and like magic my modem connected again.
Should I be concerned by this? I remembered the big "DNSChanger" thing going around a while ago, so I checked the two numbers against the FBI database and both numbers came up clean.
I ran into a bit of an issue today while testing a vpn software on a virtual machine(win7); I successfully connected to vpn, then the connection dropped and since with the vpn connection another ip address was assigned, now I'm unable to communicate with that VM. I am able to find it in SCCM via hostname, but can't reboot it or start anything on it.
All theres a problem with my internet connection because recently i saw that my Nintendo ds couldent connect to my WPA connection so i logged into my router and done the idiotic thing of changing my connection from WPA to WEP and now i cant connect to the internet so when i try to connect it just says aquiring network address then stops eventully saying limited or no connectivity. I tried logging into my router again but apparently i need an internet connection
On my cisco IOS 12.4 router,Can i make it so only lets say mac address 11:22:33:44:55:66 able to use ip address 10.10.10.2?I want this so that only this IP can configure servers, and so if the computer using it is turned off, any other device cannot use the IP address.
