I have been following this site for some time and have learned a lot reading Stonecat's excellent replies. Well written, concise and to the point. Also appreciate his restraint which is admirable, although provoked from time to time.
Thanks very much

Or Trendnet TEW 654TR
It can serve as an access point picking up the wireless signal from your router. It has an ethernet port at the back to add network devices. I have used it successfuly in hotels that supply wireless internet. After establishing a connection to the desired SSID, I then connected ...

If you connect the cable from the wall directly to your computer, can you access the Internet? Com cast is cable, not DSL. You would need a Comcast modem hooked up to that cable.

lenwest

Information overload! but if all systems GO, it can't be all bad. As you are DSL, you may wish to change MTU to 1490 instead of 1500.

:confused:

I am completely confused right now

I am trying to connect to the internet using my linksys BEFW11S4 4-port router and am having no luck at all.

If I connect my computer straight to my speedstream 5100 modem everything works fine, but when i connect it to the WAN port on the router I ...

lenwest

Do you have cable or dsl Internet? If you have dsl, remove PPPoE settings from computer and enter them on router

lenwest

You can use the same SSID but use a different channel. Use channel 1, for example on the router and 11 on the access point.
The router should have DHCP enabled. Disable DHCP on the access point.

Logmein is free and works very well. You can set it up on many computers using the same login/password. I have 10 friends computers set up so I can give them a hand.

lenwest

Router is Linksys 610 and access point is wap610n. Using channels 1 and 11. Not impressed with range. The D Link DIR 655 has much better range

Don't remember the number. Heading to the lake on Friday morning and will report back. Linksys/Cisco black fellas and the AP model # starts with W. I know - not much help, but will know better on Friday. The company that sold them to us, suggested the same channel as does a lot of sites. It didn't ...

I have a new model (forget the model number - it's at the lake house) Linksys wireless router and access point that are connected by Cat5e cable. I have received conflicting advice as to whether they should both be on the same channel or on nonconflicting channels. Both use the same SSID and the ...

I have been following this thread with interest. hocine asked a good question and was lucky to get a very good solution from an expert. The solution is not complex, in my not so humble opinion, rather the procedure used by hocine is very complex - and is causing trouble.
Try the recommended solution ...

Googling brings up user and user, (userid and password respectively). Assuming you did a hard reset on the router.

lenwest

In your router, enter the PPPoE username and password.
Be sure to delete any PPPoE connections on all of your computers.
In your router, be sure to do all the security things such as:
Change access password to router
If using wireless, use an unique SSID (not the default Linksys or Dlink), use ...

Why not connect the desktop by ethernet cable directly to the router. Why go through the laptop? No need for ICS.
Laptop - wireless
Desktop - wired.
Simpler.

lenwest

If your router supports DD-WRT try flashing it and use VLANs to separate the XP and 98 machines.

lenwest

The Linksys gets connected to the Belkin from LAN to LAN port. Leave the Internet or WAN port on the Linksys empty.
I suggest you give the Linksys a static IP address in the same range as the Belkin. i.e. if Belkin IP is 192.168.0.1, give the Linky an IP of 192.168.0.5 and disable DHCP on the ...

lenwest

Before tossing out the Linksys, try flashing it with DD-WRT. Not much to lose and it might just make the difference. Be sure to flash wired, not wireless.

lenwest

Have you deleted the PPPoE settings on your computer. You needed to set them up in the router and there's no need for them on the computer as well. the internet connection is made by the router - not your computer.

lenwest

The best and easiest way would be to ask your neighbour for permission to use his connection. He could give you the settings. Otherwise, you may have to wait for your ADSL connection to be back up.

lenwest

Connect by Cat5 and try again. Be sure the address is 192.168.0.1
From a cmd prompt, type ipconfig /all and see what the gateway IP is.

lenwest

Remove the PPPoE software from the 98 machine. Your router has the PPPoE configuration enabled.
In IE/options/connections remove any PPPoE references,

lenwest

The router doesn't sound too healthy. I suppose you did a hard reset, by holding a pin into the reset slot - hold it for 20+ seconds with the power on and let it reboot. (all this without being plugged into the modem or computer). After the lights stop flashing, connect your computer to one of the 4 ...

access ip is 192.168.1.1

Got a router, reset it and ever since then i can't access the wireless & config page. I plugged my modem into the Lan port and my computer into one of the ethernet ports. I can connect online but i get a direct IP to my modem, totally bypassing my router. My ...

Have you enabled WOL in your BIOS - assuming it supports WOL?

lenwest

only firewall is router and windows firewall (file and print sharing excepted)
I assume nothing need be done further with router (other than setting up VPN which shows connected)

Any suggestions on how to access shared folders on remote LAN.
as mentioned pinging works fine but I can't access shared folders by entering \\192.168.10.20 (static IP of computer in remote LAN)

IP range of local LAN is 192.168.20.xxx

lenwest

too quick to say all OK
they could ping remote IP's OK but couldn't access the shared folders from the run box: \\192.168.10.10 Reply said path couldn't be found although pinging worked fine.

????

lenwest

It works as you say. thanks again. Backing up to a HD off premises is one purpose and another would be accessing files on remote computers through file sharing.

lenwest

Thanks. i will give it a shot in the morning.

Your advice is always the best.

lenwest

You have several other options....some of which are:
*Make important machines on a static IP address, and just that IP address from across the tunnel.
*Use host files
*Use the DNS local database in the RV0s web admin

Thanks for the quick response. If I gave a few machines at each end, static ...

I have 2 small LAN's in different buildings across the city. Each has a workgroup of about 7 computers and each has a Linksys RVO82 router.
I have successfully connected the 2 routers (it shows connected in each router) but I need help in mapping drives from one LAN to the other. I would like to ...

In CNET Labs' maximum throughput tests, the D-Link DI-524 AirPlus G router earned a mediocre maximum speed of 23.1Mbps.
But the DI-524's maximum speed is slow compared to that of another D-Link router, the DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G, with its 44.4Mbps.

You could use the other computer - it's faster.

lenwest

Connect the desktop computer (the one without wireless card) by ethernet cable (cat5) to the router and connect the laptop (with wireless card) to router by wireless.

Unfortunately I still can not connect, the next instruction was to get "winsock reset tool" downloaded - how if there is no internet ? I am happy to try anything as it's driving me mad!

If by boutique you mean you have your own domain name, I recommend running it through Gmail. It's terrific, can be accessed anywhere and best of all, it keeps a copy of all email received/sent. On several occasions I wanted to access an old email (long since deleted from my Outlook) and located it ...

I just set up Comcast while in Florida. I had to call the Comcast office to give them the MAC address of my modem. Once they entered that, I rebooted the modem and was on the internet right away.
I wouldn't and didn't install the Comcast software. It's not needed.

I don't use Vonage but have another VoIP service using similar procedures. They supply a Linksys adapter and generally recommend placing it ahead of the router. That limits throughput.
I have it plugged into one of the ports of my router which is set to enable DHCP. The VoIP adapter has a static IP ...
