Hi! I've been STRUGGLING with this issue for quite a while and it's been bothering me to no end! Hopefully you might be able to help me out!

I am currently at university, using a Local Area Connection. I am aware that the university blocks torrenting which I am totally fine with though when I try to CARRY out a process such as posting a large entry on Livejournal.com or Dreamwidth.org, it tries to load for a couple seconds and then fails. When in Google Chrome, it says that it's "uploaded 100%" but then I receive "Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.". When using Internet Explorer, it either doesn't load at all or I get the standard "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". When I try to carry out a different process on dreamwidth and livejournal (editing my layout), Chrome tells me "Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset." These issues always happen no matter when I try them.

I have tried carrying out the tasks through an online proxy server but this has not changed my situation. I have also cleared out my browsing data and tried a different COMPUTER but to no avail. I have also hooked up to the university' wifi in the hope that this might change things but that didn't help.

Any ideas?

Have you discussed this with anyone at the University? Their tech's know the system better than we do.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you're very well

I've been having issues with my wifi adapter on my Sony Vaio S4XP, running Windows SP3 I think. The problem causes maybe every page in every browser to intermittently hang, sometimes die, and I frequently repair the adapter and reload the page.

I'd like to try and diagnose this, and wondered what system tools or freeware I can run to ... debug? Maybe the event viewer.

I'm also experiencing a hang issue, nothing appears warning/error wise in application/system events, but it takes minutes before the OS loads fully (where the system TRAY has TuneUp Utilities and the network connections and their statuses...) but that's a lower priority right now..

As always, any help/SUGGESTIONS most appreciated.

Happy to try combofix/hijackthis (years since I've tried to fix OS bugs etc but remember these two little apps as being particularly invaluable)

I wasn't certain this was a device / driver / OS / virus issue until I began testing a livedrive app recently. This reports when the connection to the server has been lost, and restored (showing 'repair adapter' resolves the intermittent problem causing me to lose connectivity with... the web.)

Thanks in advance,

Jonny
Update: the problem has arisen (14:12), suspected when 'sent' and

'drafts' in gmail hangs... checked wifi status, no packets being sent

or received... then Livedrive reports currently not connected.

turned wifi off and BACK on (using physical switch on vaio) which

resolves... OR (??) had no impact, and the intermittent issue resolved

itself before the wifi adapter was turned back on and the wifi

connetion was re-established.

it's just really annoying! working on affiliate network management, and

the impact to my productivity is painful!

thanks again,

JonnyTry changing your channel within your wireless modem, sometimes it could be a router issue and not a pc.

If its on automatic change to 11.


Post results once you have tried it.You could provide some more detail.
Wireless networking, by definition, is not reliable. If we are talking about 80211g specifications. The regulations sate that users must expect interference when using current standards. As yet, there is no unregulated wireless service that provides 100% reliability. The MERE fact that others GET perfect service does not mean you can also.

Please provide some detail about the layout, the topography, of you wireless network. See if you can locate other witless devices in your area.

This document below is dated, but the problem presented is still a matter of great concern with regard to wireless reliability. It could mean that somebody in your space could be using a Bluetooth headset the could weaken lour Wi-Fi connection. No a mere possibility. It does happen.
http://www.hp.com/rnd/library/pdf/WiFi_Bluetooth_coexistance.pdf
That is why I said above "users must expect interference"

I should reiterate that this problem seems to follow me from network to network, does that suggest that the channel settings could be the problem?

Updating settings and monitoring, thanks for the suggestions (more soon)

I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D. I has worked great for some time. Recently I noticed some connection PROBLEMS at public network locations I.e Starbucks etc. Now I cannot connect to my home wireless modem. Network and sharing center will not respond and when I look for wireless networks, nothing SHOWS up, although I can see several, including my own on my smartphone. I received a ERROR message that configfree had stopped working. I'm lost. You may want to reinstall the network and or utility drivers for your laptop at the Toshiba support site.Configfree is Toshiba's tool for connecting to other devices and networks.

You can uninstall it and just use the regular Windows wireless settings without ISSUE.

If you really want to keep Configfree, I would STILL uninstall it. Go to Toshiba's support website, click "Download" at the top, select your model.

Note that there are a great many builds for the L305D. Look on the bottom of your laptop for the complete model number. Should look something like "L305D-S5868".

Once on your model's download page, next to "Refine Search by:", choose your operating system in the first box, then "LAN" in the second box. This will narrow the list down to your LAN driver and the Configfree download. Download Configfree and install it again.

Let us know if that fixes your issue.

I am getting annoyed.

I'm running a refurbished LAPTOP that i bought from a guy whose business is refurbishing and restoring computers and laptops ALIKE. I got it for a good price after giving him my old laptop... I'm starting to regret this to an extent.

My main problem is this:

Anytime i begin streaming videos from youtube, downloading torrents or playing League of legends, my computer will randomly lock up. Audio stalls, the mouse wont move. the computer is basically USELESS. I can wait anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes for this lock up to resolve itself... which it does and it seem like the internet reconnects. Then it runs perfectly until the next freeze.

I'm running WIN7 ultimate
the network card is an Atheros AR5B93 WIFI adapter.
(the lan adapter is a Broadcom net link gigabit ethranet
Processor: AMD V120 Processor 2.20 hz
3 gb of RAM
Disk drive: Toshiba Mk2555gsx ata device

If ANYONE has any advice... it would be really appreciated.

Just a side note, I've reset my Ip address, I've installed latest drivers, I've done everything i and the internet seems to have thought of. I'm beginning to thing its the card itself.

CoorsHave you checked the system temperature?

If it was somehow refurbished by someone other than the manufacturer, there's the possibility something was done wrong (like forgetting to hookup the fan or not applying the heat sink correctly).Before opening laptop which could void any warranty, I'd check with the guy you bought it from and report the issue. Maybe he will work with you to resolve this. If you want to troubleshoot it yourself you can try SUGGESTIONS below that dont require opening laptop.

It could be Temperature, RAM, or Hard Drive .... from problems like this that I have diagnosed in the past. 99% of the fans out there in laptops have tachs on them and the system will shutdown if it detects no movement of the fan to protect itself. quaxo is correct that it can be temp related such as lack of thermal compound between CPU/GPU and heatsink etc.

If the hard drive LED is flickering or constantly on during the lock up, I'd suspect there is a issue with the hard drive possibly. System event logs usually list read/write issues. If the lock up is happening when reading/writing to swap space ( area of the hard drive that acts like virtual memory ) your pointer can lock up during the process.

Memtest86 can be run on it to verify that the memory works well for all addresses for the entire range of available memory. ( Seen some problems before where computers run fine and fast when not much is running, but then you multitask and address/access an upper part of your RAM count and then lock ups occur such as a Pentium 4 with 2 x 512MB sticks once and a memory issue when addressing memory in the 700MB region. Memtest86 pointed this out in RED, REPLACED RAM stick and problem solved. )

Speedfan works good for looking at hardware temperatures. Most hardware can be read and information displayed on temps as well as RPM's of fans etc.

All this can be diagnosed without opening the laptop and using software free on the web. Memtest86 needs to be burned to a CD or made into a bootable thumb drive.

I am hoping that the guy you bought it from has a 30 day warranty at minimum. I use to rebuild and sell refurbs and I gave 30 day warranty as long as people didnt open the computers. If they opened the case the warranty was void. I'd place a security seal between the cover and case that if broken I'd know its been tampered with and a small drop of nail polish on the corner of screws on laptops that if removed/signs of tampering, I would not be liable for any issues.

I had to do this when computers were more expensive 10 years ago and a customers son decided to try to perform a video card upgrade and "Forced" a wrong 8x AGP GeForce video card into a 2x AGP slot unintended for that AGP video card, which is keyed by design to try to keep wrong cards out and the force exerted to try to get that wrong card in there split the AGP connector and power was applied and the kid destroyed/smoked the motherboard. I could have said only an idiot would have forced with that much force a wrong video card into the AGP slot of the motherboard, but I bit my tongue and I decided to eat 50% of the cost of new motherboard and immediately started to tamper seal systems.

Hi,

I have a DSL-2520U LAN/USB combo modem with H/W version T1. When I use irc messengers like xchat, there are some servers on which by default the user's hostmask is his IP clearly shown there. And if I post on some websites or forums, MY IP is recorded there. I tried POINTING my browser to my IP and the modem's configuration page opens.

One of the mates on the irc private msges me and told me that my IP opens the DSL config page. How do I SETUP my modem so that any one from the internet if opens my IP, is not REDIRECTED to my config page but either opens nothing "Page not FOUND" or its like blocked.
I CHECKED and the modem does not have an option for Remote admin or Access.

Hello,

Recently (Past 3-4 weeks) I have been experiencing extreme lag spikes and internet speed drops whilst streaming, browsing pages, playing games, ect.

As you can expect, it's detrimental to whatever I'm doing. The ping spikes started with a relatively low frequency, maybe 2-3 times over the course of a night.

However now they're multiple times per hour with the internet dropping and going into local mode extremely often, I don't have a clue about computers or internets and am so puzzled. I am with TalkTalk as an ISP, and these spikes happen all the time, not just at peak times. I'm talking 3am, I'm sat with my ping ranging from 2ms to 7000ms.

I don't know what details you need to evaluate my problem or whatever so just let me know and I'll get hold of them for you. The obvious thing is to call my ISP but of course I have, they SEE no problem with the line and area that I'm in and don't know why it's happening, they want me to pay £50 to have someone come look at it and bun that!

I have a few ping results to show for so here they are:

Hi, IM new to this so PLEASE be GENTLE

I have just re-used an old wireless router and TURNED it into a bridge. My PC is hardwired into the bride and all seems to be working fine there... however, if I try and connect my ipad wirelessly to the bridge, there is no internet activity at all... have I missed something in the setup?

Any help is appreciated!

Alex

Main Router = Netgear Model DGN1000
Bridge = Talk Talk Dlink Model DSL-2780
OS = XPim no expert but i would CHECK your configuration- lhave you tried any other devices? WHat did you do to confirm your bridge was set up correctly? Can you ping all your devices?

My dad had a kind-of old Windows Xp-Pro computer. He got a laptop and gave the Desktop to me to put it in my room. The computer was connected to the internet for a long time, and I think it was plugged DIRECTLY into the phone jack. (With ONE of those special thing-es to alow the internet and phone to be used at the same time.) There is a Phone jack in my room, aswell as three standerd plugs. Also in my room is the internet router/modem, (Whatever you call it.) it plugs into the phone jack. There is also a wireless modem/router (Again, whatever you call it) that produces a internet connection that the laptop and MOBILE devices connect to. I also have the Ethernet (yellow) cable, and some cable with male USB on one end and female USB on the other end. (Yes, im 13 and I know what male and female USB is. DEAL WITH IT. ) But I think that cable was meant for the printer anyway. I have tried just about everthing, and I don't know how to connect this "device" to my computer via one of these cables. If more information is needed, thats ok.
Can anyone help? Is it GOING to be wired or wireless? I think since its a desktop, you would need the RJ-45 or the ethernet cable to be put in directly to your router and the other one at the back of your desktop. Otherwise, call your dad.

:PI will provide more info!
I have a SpeedStream 6520 wireless ADSL gateway from SIEMENS (Thats what it says on back) My computer is a Compaq.

Suppose that all links in the network use TDM with 24 slots and
have a BIT rate of 1.536 Mbps. Also suppose that it takes 500 msec to establish an
end-to-end circuit before Host A can begin to transmit the file. How long does it take
to send the file? Each circuit has a transmission rate of ( 1.536 Mbps)/24 = 64 kbps,
so it takes (640,000 BITS)/(64 kbps) = 10 seconds to transmit the file. To this 10 seconds we add the circuit establishment TIME, giving 10.5 seconds to send the file.
Note that the transmission time is independent of the number of links: The transmission time WOULD be 10 seconds if the end-to-end circuit passed through one link or a hundred links.

TDM with 24 slots

..through one link or a hundred links.

Hi, can anyone help me,im using linksys x2000 router, on first use i automatically create a main network for me an a guest account. now the problem is, when someone in the guest account is logged in, and im playing online game like league of LEGENDS, when then user in the guest account is watching a video on youtube, or accessing a web that loads lots of images, my ping on my game suddenly turns high. and when browsing my browsing speed is too slow when user from the guest account are streaming videos, is there a way that i can play games and browse the internet without being affected by the users from the guest account? Wired connection is always preferred and set a limit of BANDWITH for the guest account if the router has this feature or use a software bandwith limiter. Check the router settings or menus for a Qos feature which is used to improve your connection speed.My Router doesnt have a feature to limit bandwidth, so I used old technology to bottleneck my wifes computer with a 10mbps switch. My bandwidth is 20mbps down and 12mbps up. With the 10mbps old switch in between my Router and my wifes computer, she has no clue that I have her bottlenecked and my QoS doesnt degrade when she is doing her Netflix etc.. So if your device doesnt have a way to throttle bandwidth, and you have an old 10mbps switch or hub to place between your router and your guest... you can set them to a maximum bandwidth that is lesser than your actual maximum bandwidth if your actual bandwidth is greater than 10mbps download. Glad I didnt throw away the old switch that was too slow for my needs. Come to find it it can STILL serve a purpose.. my router has QoS feature tried modifying it but still but putting my laptop to high priority and putting one of my guest users into low priority, but still having issues when we are both connected and the user is streaming videos online.or browsing site with lots of images to load.like facebook. Its been over 2 weeks, but saw that this might still be OPEN if your still checking on it. I am curious as to how much bandwidth you have with your ISP www.speedtest.net

I am thinking that if you are already starving for bandwidth maybe in which QoS wont help much.

hello. I hace a linksys wifi and RAN into some problems that I can't seem to figure out.
Yesterday I was trying to hook a laptop to the internet. It wouldn't allow me to connect to the wifi, giving me a error message, something like, you do not have the correct settings or something.
so i hook it up wired, to google the problem. while I am doing this my PS3 is wifi connects and watching netflix just fine.
A few minutes of surfing and it disconnects me from internet on my PS3. Same for the PS3 in the other room.
Since then I have not been ABLE to access any wifi. not on either ps3 or on the ipod.
I keep putting in the WEP code things but it just acts like there is no signal, even though the ps3 says it has a signal strength of 90% and the laptop sees it as well but won't connect.

Any thoughts on what is wrong? I tried unplugging everything and left it all unplugged over night. I pushed the little reset button on the Linksys, can't figure out what is wrong.So this is a new problem? Did you already

• Turn off the modem/router for 3 minutes.
• Turn non and off all you devices.
• Call your service company.

it was working fine but all of a sudden ping started to spike and soon the internet speed dropped 4th of the regular speed.
please help..

Try a traceroute to www.google.com which is in your back yard pretty much vs to England. I use to have nasty latency like this between myself in NH, USA and a friend who was in Australia with online gaming and Vent communications would lag in addition to their character running around, sometimes running in place etc until the packets caught up.

Distance = LAG due to the many hops between California and England as well as the speed of signals slightly SLOWER than the speed of light whereever fiber optics are not used between California and England, and whereever the light transmitted on fiber channels are converted back and forth to electronic signals during conversion process.

If www.google.com is crappy then its a real problem, otherwise its common lag due to the distance factor. To Australia sometimes lag/latency would go upwards of 600 to 1200ms, but most of the time it was 200 to 450ms.

i dont know how to fix this..
Ok so the problem is within the USA... getting closer to solution then. Is this DSL or Cable Broadband? Have you rebooted modem/router etc and retested against www.google.com

You could also try using an OpenDNS IP address as your DNS resolver to bypass your ISP's DNS's. You can register and get a free OpenDNS IP that is close by and that might help.

You can also always call up your ISP and request a loopback test in which they query your modem from their end and verify that the signal between your ISP and your modem is good or requires a technician to add a filter to it etc.

When I first got broadband my connection was crappy. They performed a loopback test and confirmed that there was a problem. Technician came the next day and ended up running a new cable to my house since the old cable I had been using for broadband was 1985 era coax and there was too much signal loss. Technician was amazed that my motorola surfboard modem was even able to handshake with such a weak signal. Ever since they installed new cable to house from pole connection I have had very reliable and fast response times.it is Cable Broadband! And over the month I've called TimeWarner countless of times and they said the modem was working fine even though my ping test showed otherwise. We did the ping test together but on their end they said nothing was wrong. So we did call a technician and he said all the connection is fine and all they did was continually change the modem and the problem was the same for every modem they brought. Would using the OpenDnsIP address help alot? and how would u do it?
windows 7 by the way!

*i did try the open dns server. It helped a little bit but still immense spikes..Also my internet became like his all of a sudden so i dont know the problem at all..Quote

I have a website up and running fine. Recently, a sub-domain has been created. I want it to map to my wordpress blog..
It prompts something to pay to get things done..
I tried with google blogger and its awesome, it was live on web in less than a day time..

now my moot point is why wordpress charges for simple domain mapping WHEREAS google blogger provides the same mechanism for free?
Is there a way i map it for no charges?
Some more details would help.
Are you the owner of the domain? A domain with cost you about #10 per year. and web space about $24 per year. Or less if for light traffic.
Please clarify.
Are you using WordPress on WordPress.org
OR
Are you running a free WordPress install on a Web Host with Cpanel?

My blog is all free. I paid for a domain and web space. I did not have to pay ANYTHING to WordPress. I have not tried using a sub-domain, but I don't see any reason it wold not work. The vlog is on a sub directory of the domain.

I don't understand what WordPress is changing. If you have your own site, everything be in the package.

Also, on the WordPress.org site I has a sub-domain that was free. But it is an independent blog and not part of the blog on my own web apse. Quote from: Arjun N.Tej on July 04, 2013, 08:17:16 AM

Self-hosting is the way to go. Start here: http://pomeroy.me/easily-host-your-own-web-sites/

I have a small home server (Atom D525) that doens't really host any websites but the power consumption of that costs substantially more alone compared to a cheap web hosting package.

You raise a really interesting point.

Atom-based - so we're looking at a nettop or something similar running off a power brick? You'd be drawing a maximum of 5A - let's say a generous 100W. Cost per KWh is in the order of 15p or so in the UK, but let's say 20p. So that's 2p/h. £15 a month or less.

Rackspace's Cloud servers start at 2p/h, so on face value that's comparable on price. For that 2p/h, you get 512MB RAM and 20GB disk.

Ah, but you must add 8p/GB monthly for upstream bandwidth. And if you want to take backups, you have to pay for storage (starting at 7p per GB per month). Hardware firewall is extra (starting at £14 pcm). And so on.

With my server based at home, I can serve files on my LAN at LAN-side speeds (most important for video streaming). I can spin up and spin down new virtual servers as and when I want, without paying anything extra. I've mirrored the server to another server off-site, so I have DR plus failover capabilities, plus off-site backup. Yes, I'm responsible for the hardware, but the benefit is extreme flexibility. I'm limited by my upstream bandwidth, but by the time I have enough traffic to cause a bottleneck, I expect any websites to be paying for the cost of a synchronous fibre circuit (and then some).

If you're capable of running a home-based server, it's well worth the learning experience. And if that's too intimidating, something like a Synology NAS box can do much of the above at a low entry price with a very shallow learning curve.

Hello,

Lately I've been experiencing some serious internet related problems, being high lag spikes (constant 30ms shoots to 150+ for a second or 10, repeated every 40 seconds or so) and irregular connection (being a constant ping of... let's say numbers you'd not believe). I have already figured out it's an intern problem, as both my LAN PC and my wireless laptops have no internet problems. I've already replaced my network adapter (by an USB one, to make place for a second vid card), and that hasn't resolved anything either. I've run a Ping Monitor gadget in Win7 to visualise the problem:

My connection being irregular: http://gyazo.com/df4460f87de77e6f18a2417c9f1c0b0c
Lag spikes on a regular base: http://gyazo.com/f5bbf9c31959bfaa204b8a332e232143

I have run a network monitor capture during one of the lag spikes, which looked like this: http://gyazo.com/6874b1471ff7bd08e495ab73d34ce171 (the object beneath it was "other trafic", which was empty for those wondering)

A system scan with Malwarebytes Antivirus says there are no malicious items detected, and important to note as well, is that there are no programs that raise in either connectivity usage or CPU usage (in Task Manager)

I run a 64-bit windows 7 OS on a 64-bit compound PC with a Netgear networking adapter, any further hardware or software related specifications will be included upon request.

My sincere apologies for any spelling or grammatical mistakes made, or any missing specifications, I will anything that's necessary at all costs.

Thanks for reading, and in advance for a plausible answer,

AciebelPlease provide information about your computer.
Can you duplicate the symptoms with just one PC connected directly to the modem? This would help identify the issue as being local or being in the modem and/or Service Provider. Who is your service provider? If it is a satellite system, expect latency issues.

This is not a chart room, so hours may pass before I get back to you. So here is a other thing. Can you do networking in Safe mode? And do you have a Live Boot CD that will bring up a Linux system that can get internet via your modem? Recent versions of Ubuntu and Linux Mint should work in 32 bit mode with no problems.

In other words, can you rule out the service provider as being the source of the problem. Booting into another OS should help.
Also, NICs are now very cheap and it is good to have a spare on hand.
Thanks for you quick response, I have a compound PC so I will specify what I think could be useful to know. It has an AMD FX-8150-Eight-Core Processor, with 16GB RAM, a Corsair Neutrom SSD drive of 64GB containing my OS (Win7 Ultimate 64-bit), a WDC wd10ears HDD of a Terrabyte and 2 crossfired AMD Radeon HD 6800 series video cards (my apologies if I'm forgetting something I haven't MENTIONED in either of my posts). I will test if the problem still exists when I connect my computer to my router via LAN. I will also try running a virtual OS of Linux from a USB drive to see if the problem's not OS-related ("reinstall windows, that usually does it" - lostcoast), and I will connect to my neighbours network through wireless to see if the problem LIES with the computer or the router (don't tell them, they don't have to know ).

I will keep you and everyone involved up to date, and thus will fill this post with more information somewhere within the upcoming 24 hours. Thank you again for your quick response and your time!

AciebelThere would be USUAL lag spikes when on wireless considering the distance and INTERFERENCES on specific coverages for both the router and your wireless card/adapter. Check for any recent drivers and firmware for your router and card also just in case. But most likely a wired connection would solve your problem.Fixed itself, for some reason the problem is gone...
Thanks for all the help, though!

My router is a level one WBR-6011: http://global.level1.com/Wireless/WBR-6011/p-835.htm
My modem is Cisco 2100: http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC2100.html#~userguides

When I run the modem straight to the desktop I have internet. When I add the router, I lose my internet to the desktop computer which is wired. The router works fine when it's connected, the problem is there's no internet. Again, with no router I have internet, with the router, no internet. I assume for both CONFIGURATIONS you are using the ethernet port on the modem & not the USB port?Yes, I'm using the ethernet port on the modem. 1. Bad cable from router to modem.
2. WAN port on router is dead.

I assume the yellow port (WAN) on the router is the one you are connecting to the modem?
I started this thread the last time I had a problem with the router which was the 13th, one week ago. Since that time the router has worked fine. But last night it happened again. I didn't call the cable company but RAN my modem straight to my desktop and the internet worked. I tried re-powering the modem and router in all DIFFERENT orders and combinations many times without results. Now, 12 hours later, I turned everything on and it's all working fine now with the router connected. On one occasion when I was on the phone with the cable company, they said something about the network not seeing my router.

This is a crazy intermittent problem happening at about once a week. Any THOUGHTS? If I buy an ethernet y-cable and run that from the modem-one to my desktop, one to the router, would that do anything? I add that because when I bypass the router I get internet.I assume the yellow port (WAN) on the router is the one you are connecting to the modem?Quote

Hey guys, I have been looking everywhere for someone to help my and I figured that this might be the place.
I have been having problems with my STEAM and Origin where they get errors for different things. I have done my research and know exactly how to fix this but there seems to be a hitch.
The solution for EVERYONE seems to be to go to Internet Properties -> Connections -> LAN Settings then, in LAN Settings, clear every box and uncheck every box. I can and have done all of these things but as soon as I hit the "Ok" button to apply the changes, they revert to the way they were. All I need is for these boxes and fields to stay empty.
In my "LAN Settings", the box that ALWAYS re-checks itself is the "USE automatic configuration script". It every video and forum post that I have seen, this is the one that is checked but for the person demonstrating what to do, when they uncheck it, it stays unchecked.

I know that this would work if only it didn't constantly revert itself.

Please try to help,
Cam.

My employer was bought out and in the process they re-did / bought all new computer stuff and got rid off all the old. I was able to take the old wireless router home and want to use it. However I can not get it to WORK and I know it works fine.

It is a Linksys Compact Wireless-G Broadband router. I get my internet form Comcast via the cable.

It fires up fine, password goes in well and then I get the "Wireless Network Connection doesn't have valid IP configuration" message. My computer is a Dell Inspiron with windows 7.

Help.... Perform hard reset on router.
http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-a-Linksys-RouterYeah did the reset button on the back of the router and all it really did was reset the password....Did the Wikihow stuff-Hard and Soft start...still nothing. It shows up on my comuter as great service, but says no internet service. It just seems like the router and computer are not commmuncating..Are you using the Linksys Router as your main modem/router or is it CONNECTED by your Comcast modem? Please post the complete Linksys Router model next time.I am using the Linksys (model #WRT54GC) as the router. The modem is th RCA ONE that Comacast has installed.

Thanks Jason!I think the RCA modem (Coaxial to USB) will not match with the Linksys router ethernet or ports available. It's either you will upgrade to a DSL modem with an ethernet port or you will be stuck with just an outdated modem device.Dont tell me that That is essentially how I have the modem and router set up. However, I don't run an Ethernet cord to a tower. I just run the wireless router to provide the signal for my laptop.Many companies turn off wireless inside the router. Connect it wired so you can access all the settings from your browser.

I have been given a new Netgear cable modem (supplied by Virgin I think). Could I use it as a LAN HUB? It has an RJ45 connector labelled 'internet' and four outputs.

Art You can TRY it if the settings would be ISP modem - ROUTER - Netgear modem /router or ISP modem/router to Netgear modem/router. http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-One-Router-to-Another-to-Expand-a-NetworkJason,

Yes, that would be the plan. Thanks

ArtIf this is a Virginmedia UK "Superhub" then these are INDEED MADE by Netgear but with custom Virgin firmware. There may be a difficulty because the ones supplied to Virgin customers in connection with a cable internet contract remain Virgin property and it is not legally open to the customer to give the equipment away or sell it. Upon cessation of a contract the device should be returned and you may not have the legal right to use it. It would be interesting to know how it was acquired.

Hey,
Im using a Tp-Link TL-WN951N and about every 5- 10 minutes the ADAPTER disconnects me from the INTERNET. I can't search anything i can just use irc's and watch livestreams only if the page is loaded. I am using windows 8 and i have gone over this with 3 DIFFERENT people on the irc but still nothing. It is not my router as my other pc have internet with no problem what so ever. I have been told to try a different adapter and move the slot but still the same problem. Lostcoast has told me to do a malware and virus scan but it returned with no results. I have tried to REINSTALL the driver still with nothing.
If you can help thanksWelcome to the CH forum.
Your using a Tp-Link TL-WN951N wireless adapter. Did it come with drivers for Windows n8? Which version of Windows 8 do you have?
Can you use a DIRECT Ethernet connection? That should work.

Hello;

I work in a break-fix repair SHOP. My CO workers are idiots, and I USUALLY end up picking up the slack. As such, (to make it a little easier on me) I have provided each of them with a flash drive with some useful repair TOOLS. Usually, this means I also end up maintaining them as well when new versions/updates are released, or when I WANT to add a new tool to the library.

What I would like to do is simply set up an FTP directory with what I want to be on their drives, and maintain only that directory.

To do this I need a very simple, "set and forget" solution or portable program that can be run from the flash drives. What I want this program to do is (after being configured) be a "1-click" solution (as to not confuse my co workers) to check the remote FTP directory, and mirror that directory on the flash drives; deleting, updating, and creating new folders/downloading files as necessary WITHOUT deleting everything off the flash drive and re downloading the full FTP directory. (IE - Only downloading new/change files and folders, while deleting anything present on the flash drive but not present on the FTP directory).

If you know of any such solution program that has a simple interface and is portable, I would be very appreciative. I have tried out many programs searching for this. Most aren't simple enough or only offer backing up TO the FTP server, not the reverse.

I do not mind paying for the software.

Thank you,
DIatech

I have UNITS on my network that are plugged into a wireless router so that I can see them any where in the house. We have DIAL up too get online however my dads phone has 4g an wondered how to set or up too connect too itAre you talking about you have an app like speed test? If your father has an cell phone used it as an personal hotspot device without the router unless you trying to boost the SIGNAL. No Im trying to connect windows XP units on my network that dont have wireless nics too it. I had too have iTunes installed which, I didn't know I neededSo I finally got xp too see the iPhone.

I've never tried to set up a home network before and I may have made some mistakes. But the main intention was to be able to print to my HP usb printer via either of 2 laptops (HP 2000 / Windows 7 and HP 6715b / Windows Vista) on this wireless 802.11n network. I did finally accomplish this but I'm WORRIED that I may have compromised security between me and several close neighbors. I have an AT&T U-Verse wireless primary router with a Belkin router hard wired to that. I'm using the Belkin router for these wireless networks including internet access. I have them set to "Private Network" and all file and print sharing is set for on with no password required. Is the WPA2 security on the AT&T router and WPA2 security on the Belkin router enough for me to be secure from outside threats? I'm running COMODO firewall on both machines with Windows firewall turned off.
Just want to check with you guru's about this since I know very little about networking.
I'll attach a network map and network sharing center list for both machines in case that helps here.
As always; thanks for any HELP!!!

I have an issue with using my Apple AIRPORT Express that is driving me nuts. I use my Airport Express to wirelessly play music to my receiver. I don't use it to extend the NETWORK or any of those other uses.

For two years, everything worked fine between my Windows PC and my Apple Airport Express. My computer could play songs to my Airport Express wirelessly, and I could load the Remote app on my iPhone and control the songs that iTunes would play, on my computer. Four months ago, the computer stopped "seeing" the Airport Express, and my iPhone could no longer locate the iTunes library on the computer. All the meanwhile, my spare laptop (which I was just using for testing of this issue, as it's too old and slow for my music use) could operate just fine with the Airport and iPhone with Remote.

I picked up a new PC to replace the aging one, and figured it would also fix my music issues as well. Well, it only fixed it in a very temporary and frustrating way. Now, when the PC loads up, it sees the Airport Express and I can use Remote on my iPhone, and I can play music across the network with it all just like I should be able to. Then, anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours later, it all stops working. The Airport Express option on iTunes goes GRAYED out. The Airport Utility program can no longer find the Airport Express. My iPhone can no longer find my iTunes library with Remote. But, if I reset the computer, it all works perfectly again, until it randomly fails whenever it feels like it. It never continues to work for more than a few hours.

Through all this, if I load up my old laptop, it works fine. So, to me, it's not like the Aiport Express is "going down". Also, the Airport Express has NOTHING to do with my iPhone and the Remote app finding my iTunes library on th ePC, so the fact that BOTH of these things stop working makes me think it's something to do with the PC or the PC connection to my network.

FYI, it seems to make no difference whether my PC is connected with a CAT5 or with the built in wireless.

My old PC and this new one both have Norton, but I've tried disabling everything and I don't see a difference. Maybe I need to dig into this more, but it's strange that Norton would let it all work for a while, then stop it.

Another fact LEADING me to believe the Airport Express is fine is that my iPhone has apps like Pandora and Songza that can play music either through the iPhone itself, or, send it to the Airport Express. I am ALWAYS able to select the Aiport Express. It is never "down" or not selectable..

New PC is Windows 8 with Norton installed. Network is through FiOS and their Actiontec router. Let me know if you need any other info or testing.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you checked to make sure that you're using the latest version of iTunes and that your Airport Express is using the latest firmware?

I've never used an AirPort Express, so I can't think of much else to check.Yes, both are up to date fully.

One other observation I've noticed now:

After the computer disconnects from the Airport (i.e. if I look in iTunes, the airport speaker symbol is grayed out and only PC speakers are selectable), if I open Remote on my iPhone and click the aiport symbol in the Music player, it "revives" the airport express. The connection re-establishes, and the symbol becomes blue on the PC screen instantly. Somehow, doing this with the phone "re-links" the connection between PC and Airport Express...

Last night i began to have PROBLEMS with anything considered internet. I am connected. I have tried with a piece of hardware and wi-fi. When I try to open Firefox (even Internet Explorer) they trigger the mouse hourglass but never open. This problem also goes for World of Warcraft and other such games. I am connected but they never load, only say loading or nothing at all.1) Do all other programs work normally?

2) What is new or different since the last TIME everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

3) Please run full system scans with BOTH your installed anti virus app and with MalwareBytesThanks for checking my problem out! This is a bit hard to explain. Now my internet browsers pop up but saying unable to connect or 'error'. I'm hoping you know what Steam is but I can LOG onto that and play my games I have there. (Still unable to do any online content with the games). I have run a spyware SWEEP with norton and it found 12 threats and fixed 12 threats (this did not change anything) . I logged onto the other user account on said laptop and the browsers work fine. So I'm GUESSING it's just my usual user account i'm having trouble with. Also, the last thing I updated or changed was Norton required a restart yesterday (it's been bothering me a week to restart my laptop to apply the update) so i did last night.

Hi every one. The REASON I'm here is because I'm exhausted every single thing I can do to fix this problem. I cannot for the life of me port forward, successfully peer to peer software called "Game Ranger". I've filled in the starting ports, ending ports, and server IP correctly. I have UPnP turned on, I've tried disabling NAT Filtering, disabling SPI Firewall, making my IP static, changing rules in firewall and changing to different routers. Furthermore, I have tried to see if the ports were working through "Portcheck" software and they weren't. I have no idea what is going and I've been going crazy trying to fix this for days. All I know is that Game Ranger says I'm behind a Symmetric NAT ROUTER.

Any help is appreciated. If you need any more information just let me know.

My router model is a Netgear RangeMax, WNDR3300.

I'm running windows 7.

ANTIVIRUS is TRENDMICRO TITANIUM. Some ISP's block certain ports. What ports are you using?

Hi,

I have an Windows 7 laptop. I am tyrying to connect to a Windows 2000 machine. I go to Start and then type in the PC name of the Windows 2000 machine. First it would ask me for a user name. Then it would ask me for a password. My laptop has no password. The last few times that I tried to connect to the PC, it only asks me for my password. When I connect my PC to an XP machine, it does not asks a user name/password. What can I do so it doesnt ask for a user name/password when I try to connect to the Windows 2000 PC. And this PC is not listed under Network. So the only I can connect to this PC is by going to Start and then entering the PC name.Do you need bidirectional sharing or can a network share on Windows 2000 box work as a target location to share data between both systems?

If single-directional sharing is good enough you can create a share on the C: drive on the Windows 2000 system, and share it with everyone ( not very secure, but fine if on a private lan with no external threats ) and be able to ACCESS this share from the Windows 7 system via IP of the Windows 2000 system and share name such as \\192.168.1.7\share$

using the share name of share$ to make hidden with $ and using the actual IP of this system on your network VS 192.168.1.7 as I have shown as example.

This share can be the entire C: drive of the Windows 2000 system if you chose to create a root share vs just a specific folder on the C: drive of the Windows 2000 system.

Your Windows 7 system should then be able to read/write to the location on the Windows 2000 box as long as everyone has been set to read/write.

You can then drop files to this share from the Windows 7 machine to the Windows 2000 machine if needed since Windows 2000 accessing Windows 7 will be troublesome without killing security of Windows 7 I am guessing, as well as verifying that its only using IPv4 since Windows 2000 does not natively support IPv6. There is however limited IPv6 support as referenced here for Windows 2000 HTTP://www.dslreports.com/faq/12122 if you need to stick with IPv6 vs IPv4. I have not tested Windows 2000 Pro on IPv6. I stopped using Windows 2000 Pro about 4 years ago when I made the move to minimum Windows OS of Windows XP Pro for security patches and to continue to use software that no longer supported 2000 Pro in newer releases.

i have a hp laptop RUNNING windows xp with wifi, i also have a ibm COMPUTER that is too old to get wifi so it's not currentley connect to the internet. i want to connect them so that they both have internet how do i do that?One way is to get a USB wi-fi dongle and use it on the IBM, ANOTHER way is to link the IBM and the HP laptop with an ethernet CABLE and ENABLE internet connection sharing on the laptop, if you have a router with wi-fi you can connect the IBM to it with ethernet cable.

Hallo everybody, I don't know if this is the right place, anyway: is there a way to tweak Snr limits on the router Thomsono TG 585 V8, using TELNET or in another way?

Had to move my wireless isp dish to my shed for BETTER signal because of growing trees. The ROUTER is in the house and already setup. I have a cat5 cable from my shed to the house. Will I be able to use an unmanaged switch by going into the switch with the poe interface box thus feeding the signal to the router in the house with the cat5 cable. Then connect my shed computer into the switch. Will this work?
I didnt want to re-do my wireless in the house as it feeds my laptops and tv. The shed is too FAR away for a good wireless CONNECTION for my house and im trying to SHY away from another router in the shed. This is a similar poe Im using.

Hi, I have just bought a Motorola Surfboard extreme wireless cable modem gateway, model SBG6580. I have it working on my desktop but want to make my laptop wireless and private. I lost my CD to the modem so can anyone please walk me THRU MAKING my laptop wireless, thanks.http://www.motorola.com/on/demandware.static/Sites-Site/Sites-Motorola_US-Library/default/v1335985434876/Promotion/cross-sell/cable-modem/SURFboard_SBG6580_UserGuide.pdf?version=1,336,493,317,000
Above link is Manual for this which will help you CONNECT via wifi.

There is also this user guide:

You will have to have a Cat5 cable available and connect to the modem with a computer via Cat5 cable. Then try to access it at its default IP address which might be http://192.168.1.1 which can be accessed by copy/paste or typing this into browser window. If modem is at this IP address you will be brought to a page requiring a username and password. If you haven't changed this information it will be the default username and password. This will be in the manual and sometimes is stated onthe label on the modem. Once you are able to log into the modem, the first step is to change the password and write down what you are changing it to someplace safe. I use a permanent marker and write the new password on bottom of my router/modem etc. Next change its name from Motorola etc to something else, such as I named mine BlackBox to identify my wireless network from everyone elses in neighborhood. Next follow the instructions in the manual to create your wireless network. Once you have create a wireless network which hopefully is WEP at most minimum security with WPA being far better for security, you should be able to then search for wireless networks with your laptop. If you named yours BlackBox and you detect it when searching for wireless networks, select that and select to connect to it. You will then if youproperly secured it be required to enter a key etc to authenticate the laptopto your wireless network and each time you turn on your laptop from then on, it will search for this wifi after windows boots up, and you should no longer be prompted to have to bother with this again, as long as nothing changes on your modem in REGARDS to configuration.Thanks for the reply and help.

Not sure if this is the right forum.

Over the past week or so I am having problems loading PAGES. Not every single time, but at LEAST half the time I get "Server not found". I sometimes have to refresh half a dozen times of more to get the page to load, and even the first time usually the style sheets don't load and I have to refresh again. Sometimes they never load. Other times they load on the first try.

This is happening in all browsers but I reinstalled Firefox anyway to no avail. I have checked my bandwidth and it is were it's supposed to be - 10 mbs. I have naturally cleared all cookies, cache, browsing history. I have disabled all my add ons and in fact I rest the entire firefox browser to its original state and started all over with no addons. Still having the same problem.

I run AVG antiviris every day and nothing ever comes up as suspicions.

Could this be a virus? I can't think of anything else. OK. But we need another detail.
How do you get into the WWW?
Are you using:
1. DSL, also called ADSL
2. Cable
3. Satellite
4. Fiber Optic
5 You business WAN

Is some area the DSL service from great to horrible and varies from one day to the next. As for the others, my personal knowledge is limited.


I do use DSL, CenturyLink to be exact. I've never had any problems in the past and I've had it for 4 years. I have reset the modem a number of times already. OK. You need to check with them and see if they have been having trouble. Local issues with the local telecom are among the most common "strange" resets. The modem does a forced reset when the line condition deteriorates. The problem MAY or may not be apparent when listening to voice over the TELEPHONE.

In some areas the phone lines are being replaced by the local companies. Thye do this without notice if the outage is very short. In some cases the local telecom might have a tech swap you pair with another, but the other pair has not been swept for DSL service. It happens.

Also, have you added any new devices to your telephone line? Some cordless phones may cause problems.
Have you changed any electrical wiring in your home? Even extension cords?
A DSL modem has to have a ground return through the electrical system. If the ground return opens, additional NOISE gets on the telephone line.

As a last resort, get another modem. But not until you eliminate the other possible issues. My guess is the local Telco is messing up things.

OK. You need to check with them and see if they have been having trouble.

i need help for doing an work mentioned below..I have a client machine (fedora os) & a SERVER machine(windows) in server i INSTALLED SQL & CREATE a table ......nw i want to connect it from client....please tell me the steps from BEGNING ..

The setup:

Main router. Arris WTM652 (I.P. 192.168.2.1)

Bridge: Linksys WRT54-G (V8.0) (I.P. 192.168.2.2) flashed with v24 micro generic

Everything works fine as long as security is disabled for both devices.

I set them both with WPA-PSK and TKIP, same SSID name and password, and the Linksys is not speaking to the Arris, and neither is my laptop speaking to the Linksys when connected VIA cat5.

If I do a "HARD" 30 second reset on the Linksys, it reverts to default I.P. 192.168.1.1 and Xp communicates just fine.

I'm using XP and IE.

I'm obviously doing something wrong here and all help is appreciated.

THANKS...


Sorry, I am of little help. Best I can do is recommend the reading of this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series
The article has many references to other sources of information.

Here is a You Tube video about using a wireless bridge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWVPZSQqUZgMany thanks Geek-9pm. That wiki is the one I used in setting up. Guess I'll have to go over it again because I must have missed something and also take a look at the video; maybe the solution is there.

What I've done up to now is leave security disabled (yikes!) but as a stop-gap my SSID is not broadcast. Not much, but better than nothing and the bridge is WORKING like a charm.

Thanks again...If you do get it to work the way you want, please COME back and let others know there sis a way. I have given up trying to do it. I have some routers that can do it, but I have not had the time to get it to work. As far as I can tell, only a few special routers can do it right. You haven to have a pair of routers that work together swell.SOLVED!

The solution came about from reading this: http://www.andyfrank.com/blog/2012/03/wrt54g-wireless-bridge/

The juicy part is: "Using WPA2 Security
If your primary router is setup to use WPA2, and things didn’t work, you have a few options:

Drop to WEP security
Drop to WPA security
Enable WPA2 TKIP + AES support on primary router, WPA on secondary

So configure your primary router to use WPA2 TKIP + AES, then set the DD-WRT to use normal WPA security".

My setup is:

Primary router Arris Modem SSID Disabled
Security:
Mode: WPA/WPA2-PERSONAL (PSK)
Authentication: WPA-PSK
Encryption Technique: AES

Secondary router: Linksys WRT54-G SSID Disabled
Security:
Mode: WPA Personal
Authentication: TKIP+AES

Both modems using exactly the same network name and password.

Works just fine and security is enabled.

You might have to use trial/error (I was lucky, got it on the first try).

As usual, good note-taking is encouraged as you try options.

Many thanks to Geek-9pm for the inspiration...Thanks for sharing.

Whoever set up our system uses another program for settings of the router, check out dd-wrt.com

DD-WRT is free Linux-based firmware for several wireless routers, most notably the Linksys WRT54G (including the WRT54GL and WRT54GS)

hi what is the ACTUAL connection of this NETWORK 192.168.2.16/26 in packet tracer

4 networ INCREMENT of 64

192.168.2.0
192.168.2.64
192.168.2.128
192.168.2.192

Please do not POST the same QUESTION more than once. I'm locking this thread.

Hi all,

I have this MODEM "http://www.dlink.co.in/products/?pid=438" DSL-2520U ADSL2+ ETHERNET/USB COMBO ROUTER. This router works with a phone line. It was working fine with a phone link internet connection. Now I am have a broadband internet connection. The current internet connection only works on one single computer. If I need to use the internet on other computer I need to call the internet company and then they update the new computers MAC address and then it works.

Can I use this device with my broadband ? I do not have a phone line internet now. There is no port to input the broadband.

Please help.

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]The posted network device might only work on the previous PROVIDER you used to have and such that its called PROPRIETARY to protect their product. You need to BUY the commercial or retail brands of routers to connect multiple devices in your home network.

Hello

If I have an ACTIVATED wireless network CARD INSTALLED in my PC tower (WIN 7) and it is also connected to a router VIA an ethernet cable, how am I actually connecting to the Internet: wirelessly or via the cable, and how would I know?

Thanks!If the ethernet cable is connected, it will usually use that instead of the WiFi. Disconnect the ethernet cable & it should revert to WiFi.Many thanks for that commando!

Cheers.

I know a lot of this and how looked around, but I am finding a lot of bits and pieces. I am just missing some of the DETAILS. When I connect to my LAN (router) ------> wires-----> modem -----> ISP ----> DNS servers if need be -----> NAP if need be ----- alternate ISP (omittable) ----- alternate DNS server (omittable) -------> REMOTE server on internet.

info:
ISP is modern
router is 802.11n
default DNS is from ISP

To be speific,
How does the modem connect to the ISP? (cables, T3 line....etc.)
What are the mutiple buildings, ROUTERS, modems the connection goes through at the ISP?
If there's anything I messed up on add/modify.
via a wire to the trunk line in your area if digital cable ( which I'm assuming it is)

can connect to my mailo but when I try to go to websites I can't. have a new gateway here at work and it is giving me fits!!! what do I need to do to connect to internet websites??Hi and welcome to Computer HOPE!

Please try this first...
Open your Command Prompt. Instructions are here.
Type there ping google.com -n 10

What are the packets?
Sent =
Received =
Lost =

By the way, since you are using it for work, have you consulted your IT or NETWORK Admin in your office?

Please advise. Happy New Year!sounds like a DNS issue or some weirdness in your host file. there might be something on you network that acting as a dns server that conflicting with your routers dns settings. If its a SOHO (SMALL business small office) router-think linksys etc than i would refer to there website with specific model configuration provided byy them to ENSURE your current gateway is handeling dns and is setup correctly. Theres no universal SOLUTION to soho's cause there all different. Is there anything else on like old networking equipment? Does windows recognition your network? sorry if i confuse you as I'm just starting in networking and could be steering you wrong. I'm thinking its a config issue as mailo problly has its own resolution system programmed in the software and thus doesn't need dns to access web or POP3 or mail server.

I can no longer download anything. Downloads makes progress but then it says there is an error after a few seconds of downloading and it stops. Downloading anything, even Windows updates. Also, i'm assuming this is related, it will play a Youtube video for a few seconds, but then stop and never start again.
I have Windows 8 Pro 64bit, and the internet is a HOTSPOT from a tablet that's connected to 3g. I can download and watch videos fine on my really old XP COMPUTER connected to the same internet, but not on this one. Tried multiple browsers, but im assuming thats not the issue since Windows or adobe updates wont download without the error either. So yeah, i'm figuring something is wrong with the network on this computer for some reason, which is a home BUILT computer.
Please help, thanks.Hi and Happy New year!

Just a question... Aside from downloading issues, how's your browsing experience on your Windows 8? When browsing to social networking SITES, news sites, Google, etc, do you still encounter issues?

Please advise so other Computer Help experts can easily isolate your problem. Thank you.do you have these problems at home? Or is this a lab(shool/work) computer? Open PUBLIC networks are not verry stable places. You could be exsperiencing these issues simply from large network overhead. Plus the network admin may have some funky setting for the DMZ your on. have you run any tests like tracert/ipcongig. Also check to see if you have the latest flash or silverlight extensions in your browser especially if your getting high cpu ussage alerts from windows.
