Workgroup Works Great When Hardwired To Router / Doesn't With Wireless
Nov 28, 2012
I have a win7 desktop upstairs with all of my media on it.I also have a winXP laptop that I would like to use as a media center running xbmc connected to my tv downstairs.I have set up a workgroup so my laptop can access the media stored on my desktop and everything works great when they are both hardwired to my router (Linksys E3000).However, as soon as I unplug my laptop from my router and switch to the wireless connection I can no longer ping my desktop or access the shared folder (internet still works fine on the laptop, it just cant see my desktop anymore).If I plug it back in to the router, everything works again.
The exact error message I get when I try to access the shared folder is "\INFINITYMedia is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. [code]
I just set up my new e1200 wireless router. The wireless connection works great but on my desktop (which is plugged in through the ethernet), has a painfully slow connection. Half the time it times out while loading a website!
I can follow directions and am fairly tech-savvy, just don't have the time to troubleshoot this stuff and run my business. Here's the rundown:Router:Cisco Linksys E1000 V2
-working fine until I unplugged to move it and plugged it in -verified with tech support the problem is not physical -right now, am hardwired to the router, which is hardwired to the cable modem, and connectivity is fine through hardwiring -no luck through wireless - this is the error message I get:
This webpage is not available:The server at www.google.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
I'm trying to set up a wireless network for my parents. I have a Belkin Play N600 router (model F7D8302) that I'm trying to hook up to an Acer desktop running Vista. The modem is a Siemens Speed stream 4100. I have a cable going from the ethernet port of the modem to the modem port on the router. The pc is connected to one of the other four ports in the router. The wireless works fine, but I can't get the wired connection on the desktop working. The Internet light on the modem is not on, but the modem works fine when connected directly to the pc. I've tried power cycling and resetting everything, but it's still not working.
About 6 months ago I bought a new router (Linksys E1000 v2.1) which worked great right out of the box. A couple months later I tried to setup a home network so that my two laptops could access a shared drive on my wired desktop, but for some reason they didn't show up as being on the same network. All computers involved are running Windows 7 if that matters.
Upon a recommendation from I friend I put DD-WRT on the router and it worked fine. Setup MAC filtering and WPA2 Personal security. This worked fine for about 4 months until today.
When I got home from work today I noticed my laptop wouldn't pull up any web pages, but it said it was connected. Then I noticed my iPhone wasn't connected either. I restarted my laptop and then it wouldn't connect to the wireless either (I could see the wireless, but I would get a Could not Connect error when I tried to connect to it).
I went to my desktop and it is working just fine, it is plugged into the back of the router. I also have an AT&T MicroCell (cell phone booster) that is plugged in to the back of the router and it works fine too.
I removed the encryption and MAC filtering. I then reset to factory (or "factory" DD-WRT) and now the wireless works, but it is MUCH slower than my desktop. I ran a speedtest on my desktop and got 12 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. On my laptop, I get 0.03 Mbps down and 0.25 Mbps up.
I have a E4200 v1, connected with a few PCs by ethernet ports and various devices by wifi. Now the wireless devices work perfectly but sometimes the PC via ethernet ports cannot connect to LAN and internet.
I have an XP and a Windows 7 on network (put them in the same Group). I can see the Win7 machine on the XP computer,, accesss files from it. But the XP computer does not show up on Windows7. File sharing was enabled in both. In another post TerryNet asked for the following info (nbtstat -n and IPCONFIG /ALL) from both machines. I thought I will post them assuming I have similar issue as in the previous post. here are the details of these two commands from the two machines.
Windows 7 Machine ============== C:UsersArun>nbtstat -n Local Area Connection:
Region : India Model : TL-MR3420 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : 3.12.21 Build 120523 Rel.37880n ISP : Reliance
I've just set up a MR3420. It works fine in "WAN only" mode and provides access via our ADSL modem. It also works fine in "3G only" mode and provides access via a Reliance Netconnect+ USB modem (a Huawei E150 I think). I updated the firmware to the latest version in order to get it to work with the USB modem.
The problem I have is that when I set it to "3G preferred" it doesn't seem to connect over 3G. I can see it tries to connect but then fails and then WAN takes over. The connect and disconnect options are greyed out on the 3G page so I am unable to manually get it to retry. I've tried leaving it for a long time but it doesn't seem to connect over 3G ever. I've tried setting 3G to connect on demand and connect automatically but both behave the same.
hen its wireless, it has no problems with the internet, everything works fine.But when its wired, webpages will still load, but youtube videos wont work, anything that consists of streaming doesn't work, and he cant even useI have connected other laptops to the same cord and there is no problems. so i know its not the cord and i imagine its not the router since everything still works fine with other computers.
I try connecting via ethernet cable and it doesn't seem to work until the administrator of the network (my brother) comes home and then turns his computer on and starts using it. However, if i switch to a wireless adapter it sometimes works (like right now) even when my brother is not using the internet. Also, i tried to connect via wifi on my macbook pro to the same server and it used to work flawlessly 100% of the time, now i can only connect once in a while for short periods of times.
I use in my network Linksys 4200v1 (newest firmware) and Sipura SPA 3000 ( 3.1.20(GW)firmware) and SPA 122 (1.1.0(011) software version as my phone adapters.My voip phones are working great until I start to download or upload some files, watching on-line tv.How and where should I set up above routers to have the same great quality voip while uploading and downloading at the same time?
I have a laptop using a wireless Ralink USB card to connect to the internet. Is it possible to use the unoccupied Ethernet cable slot to hardwire into a router and use the router to send out the wireless signal picked up by the USB card to other devices?I know I shared my connection like this to my xbox 360 but wasn't sure if it could be used with a router.
I just recently bought a Telewell Wlan AP wireless access point and my problem is that I can't connect to the internet with Lan, hence can't get connection on my desktop. My laptop however works fine with wlan.
There's a wall socket which connects to a bigger student local network, I can connect my desktop to it directly and it works so there seems to be nothing wrong with my computer. I've had 2 routers before this, another Telewell that worked flawlessly and a Buffalo that cut the connection every now and then but didn't have this kind of problem.
I have the router plugged into the wall, set to get a dynamic ip (as it should be) and it does find Wan-side ip-address and dns-servers, as I could connect through wifi. So there doesn't seem to be a problem with that either. But for some reason Lan doesn't work. I can access the router through Lan, dhcp is on and I can see my desktop on the routers client list.
I am running XP Pro SP2 Ver. 2002 on my laptop.,i use the wifi connection very well. But when i plug the rj45 cable in from the modem,the LAN icon says Little or no connection.
I have just purchased a new ASUS Laptop for my wife.We are currently running two destop computers on a D LinK Router. How do I go about including the new computer on the network wirelessly?What do I need to purchase to make the transition easiest? The two desktops are running Windows XP Professional, the new system is Windows 7.
My cable modem and router are in a closet. From there, wires run through the house to multiple locations. One of the locations has had a wireless access point (WAP) installed which has worked flawlessly. I want to put another device at that location that doesn't have wireless capability, so I tried to connect a switch. The switch does not connect. When I disconnect the cable from the WAP and plug it into the switch, the light on the switch port that would indicate a connection does not come on. When I then connect the WAP to another port on the switch, the light on its port does come on but it does not see the router. I've tried multiple cables (I even tried a crossover cable) and I've tried a second switch with the same result. When I plug back into the WAP, it works fine again. The switch works fine at other locations in the house.
One more thing - When I bought the house, the wire to this particular location was unterminated. I had never done any wiring before but I decided to try to do this myself. So, I read up on the process and bought the necessary tools. When I stripped the wires, I found that the twisted pairs were not just twisted (as they were in the patch cable I practiced on) but each pair was in a single strand of insulation (I'm not sure exactly how to describe this but there were four strands of plastic, each with two wires packaged inside.) I didn't know how to separate the two wires that were packaged together so I wired the connectors with all four color - color/white pairs next to each other. I know that's not the standard. But from what I read, as long as I wired both ends of the cable the same way, everything should work. And in fact, it did for connecting the WAP.
my internet works normally during daytime but starts to disconnect and reconnect every few minutes at around 11pm. I've tried restarting my modem but to no avail. My home telephone line is not working when my internet starts disconnecting and it starts working during daytime. My modem is connected to the telephone.
I have a directly connected server behind the ASA and I can ping the server without a problem.
The VPN client reports packets being encrypted and decrypted
However when I try to RDP to the server the encyrpted packets keep incrementing but the decrypted packets do not.
I am also not seeing any RDP traffic hit the server (verified by ethereal)
I have done a packet tracer and it suceeds but ends with an IP spoof which I believe is correct as it is vpn traffic and not actually being encrypted.
This is the debug from the RDP session, I am confused by a Denied ICMP on line 2 as I am able to ping the server?
%ASA-6-302013: Built inbound TCP connection 88193 for external:172.16.24.4/50984 (172.16.24.4/50984) to internal:192.168.100.146/3389 (192.168.100.146/3389) (roger_ssl) %ASA-4-313004: Denied ICMP type=0, from laddr 172.16.24.4 on interface external to 192.168.100.146: no matching session
[Code].....
The only logical bit to this is flow closed by inspection? Does this mean the server has not responded?
And the decrypt packets not increasing when trying to RDP Does this mean that I have reached the end of my ASA knowledge on this one!
Im trying to optimize my E4200 settings and Ive noted that ping and download speeds are extremely slow for the internet service I signed up for. Ping speeds are consistently more than 1000ms and dowload speeds typically are less than 3Mbps. These are for both wireless and wired connections to the E4200 router.
When I disconnect the router and hardwire my laptop directly to the the modem, ping speeds are less than 100ms and download speeds are 20Mbps.
Simply put, webpage loading is at a snails pace with wireless and wired connection the router, but blazing fast when hardwired directly to the modem.
On a seperate issue, the iMac I have is also **bleep** slow even when hardwired directly to the modem. Is there an obvious router setting Im screwing up? Router is updated with the latest software.
I have been using my laptop since a year now and yesterday suddenly my internet stopped working. On top of the connectivity bar a yellow sign appeared. Now my internet status is "No internet access" but when i connect my ethernet cable the internet starts working and i can see the "Internet access" status. I have re-installed my wi-fi driver too from the orignal CD that i got with my laptop, but still no luck also i did not install anything in past 1 week and the only anti-virus i have is Avast (tried disabling it too). I plugged out the cables from my router and plugged them again but that dint work too. There are 2 other laptops (running on windows 7 just like mine) on which the wifi connection is working but on mine it is not working.
I have a ASA5520 with 4 Port channel interfaces and ASA Version 8.4.(2). There are many vlan interfaces but in the DMZ I have one Server who has a Static NAT to all other interfaces.
Why the first ping works and the others doesn´t work?
In my main office, I have a cable modem which is connected to my main E4200 router. All of my equipment (except my Ooma) is served by the E4200. The E4200 broadcasts a wireless network.In my basement, I have a Wii / entertainment center. The E4200 signal from upstairs isn't strong enough to stream video.
I bought the WET610N and have successfully set it up to interact with the E4200 wirelss network. I can hardwire my laptop to the WET610N and verify the internet works greatHowever, the Wii must connect over wireless. I have other equipment in the basement which would benefit from an internet connection. So, I want to A) connect the ESXS88W 10/100 8-port workgroup switch I have to the WET610N *AND* also broadcast a wireless signal in my basement (assuming the wireless network I see in the basement is the same "old" one from upstairs which has not benefited from the WET610N).
How can I set up my WRT54G2 to broadcast a wireless signal in the basement so that it leverages the E4200 signal served by the WET610N, while also having the workgroup switch offer hardwired connections to my other equipment (like Dish Network receiver)? It doesn't seem to work by just plugging the WRT54G2 into the workgroup switch.
I need remote access to certain programs on my home PC but I just cannot get it to work.
Program:- webcamXP
When I set the programs port preferences (i.e. port 8087), I can connect with"127.0.0.1:8087" and webcamXP work fine. But when I replace the localhost with my external IP (lets say 79.149.114.227, so that would be "http://79.149.114.227:8087".I tried port forwarding: I have added the port to my NAT in the router's setting so it should be fine, but it is not (numbers are fictual of course):
external port start 8085, external port end 8089, protocol TCP/UDP, internal port start 8085, internal port end 8089, server IP address 192.168.1.215)
I also tried disabling AVG Internet Security 2011's firewall temporarily just to check it it was blocking it, but got the same result.I checked if Windows own firewall was on, but it is off.I cannot find any setting in the router's own configuration screen to disable any build in (router's) firewall (if it has any).
It works sometimes. I imagine it has a noise problem since sharing files works, internet works. I cannot remember how to change channels on this router to save my life, though. What is special about sharing a printer?
My router was unpluged twice and then when I plugged it in the third time my laptop won't connect the the wireless network. I could see the network with great signal on the connection list, but when I tried connect to it, it said: "Windows was unable to connect to XXX. " (btw my laptop's operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit) so I tried to troubleshoot problems. and here are the detection details:Details about network adapter diagnosis: Network adapter Wireless Network Connection driver information:
I've got a 3560-X that passes POST according to console, but there are issues nonetheless...USB console doesn't work. RJ45 works just fine. No status lights turn on at any point (e.g. syst, xps...). 10g network module is installed with a 10g LRM SFP. All lights on the module are amber. However, it passes according to POST. Switch passes traffic, obeys config, etc. Link lights on RJ45 ports work fine. This was brand new out of the box. Thinking about trying IOS reload..
I have a pair of OLD Cat6500's running CatOS: WS-C6509 Software, Version NmpSW: 7.6(16) Copyright (c) 1995-2005 by Cisco Systems NMP S/W compiled on Dec 22 2005, 16:37:19 System Bootstrap Version: 7.1(1) System Boot Image File is 'bootflash:cat6000-sup2k8.7-6-16.bin' System Configuration register is 0x2
I know these are no longer supported, but I have to ready them for migration. Recently a problem began with these switches. What happens is that when I telnet to them, I cannot authenitcate via TACACS. This works fine for all our other IOS equipment, just not for these 2 switches. The error is:" % Error in authentication" and then I get kicked back to the login prompt.
The odd thing is that when I connect to the switch via the console port, I can authenticate fine with TACACS. CMS> /c 14
I have a Linksys E1000 running on the latest firmware available from the Cisco website. When my main PC (Windows 7 64Bit SP1) which is connected with a ethernet cable is running the wireless speed is great for all my connected devices. (Android/Apple phones, tablets, family PC, etc). But when I shut down my main PC the wireless speed drops to the point where it can take 3-5 mins for google.com to load up. The wireless connection is still showing as strong, just the speed isn't there anymore. If I were to turn my PC back on, everything will load up almost instantly and be back to normal. I've tried reinstalling the router, resetting it all back to default settings and re configuring it but I've had no luck in solving this.
I have a wrt350n at home and it works fine but it has only one little issue. When I connect my lap wireless I cant see the other work group pcs but if I wire the laptop there is no problem. I use ip to share files and not net bios but sometimes it would be great to find all the pcs on the work group easily and not memorize all the ips.
Disabled firewalls, updated firmware, tried to change network ip... nothing solved. Have no problems at work with an WRT54G.
