ephemeral September 20, 2006 Share ephemeral Member September 20, 2006 i just completed a home network all by myself! we have 256k going through a modem, which is then routed through to a switch/wireless router, and everything works! printer, file sharing, internet, even between wireless and hardwire. to most of you, i realize, this may not be much of an accomplishment, but i am proud of myself for setting this up all on my own!!!

ephemeral September 25, 2006 Author Share ephemeral Member September 25, 2006 Lol, then you are learning something from cisco semester 1.Now next lan party you can do all of the admin stuff for me. I laughed so hard when somebody said to me at the last lan party "ip addresses are stupid, lets not use them" LOL dude i said that because you were trying to force our IP's, so we weren't getting internet, so i meant we shouldnt force IP's, just use DHCP and config the router to be the DHCP serv and not the modem, but of course just having no internet was the Geek way to do it, so... but anyways, to the main topic...i restored everything to factory def. but still cannot access the network. here is the situation; i'm thinking when i 'updated' the firmware, it changed some wierd protocol in the router butyways, here's my situation. i plug into the router and i get a popup onscreen taht says i have a 100mb connection, which means the router and my NIC are communicating. however, i cant access my modem through the router, nor other devices connected to it. my modem is configured to let the router route the internet, and to allow the router to be the DHCP serv. i have all security turned off while i work on it, and there is never a difference. also, all the lights on the router that should be on, are on, and flash when i acces the router. internet light is on also, and the ethernet light on my modem is green, showing that they are also communicating, BUT I CANNOT GET TO THE MODEM THROUGH MY ROUTER AND I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK AND I AM EXTREMEMLY EXHAUSTED AND FRUSTRATED SOMEONE HELP ME BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND BECAUSE I CANNOT FIX THIS AND I FEEL TOTALLY NOOBISH!!!!1!1!!! :,( please help me... (sorry for the 'skyscraper' post (in fatty's lingo) but i have no time to do proper capitalization and paragraphs and all that nonsense right now, cause after i make one final attempt at this, im going to cry myself to sleep... (OH btw i am accessing the internet right now by plugging myself directly into the modem, making the default gateway the modem, and using qwest's DNS server...which takes a long time to configure, and i have to reconfigure it the other way to work on stuff, so i can't do this often lol...)

ephemeral September 25, 2006 Author Share ephemeral Member September 25, 2006 (edited) k so a smashed keyboard later, i have given up! i disconnected the router, made the modem the DHCP serv, reactivated wireless on the modem, and have everything back up the way it was...but this is obviously not a permanent fix as i have no network, only internet, no printer, and have an unresolved issue poking at my brain that needs to be fixed sooooo...ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL would be GREATLY appreciated, i'm gonna bring in the router to my cisco teacher tomorrow and recreate my home network there and see if he can do anything to help me.

Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass September 26, 2006 Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member September 26, 2006 Did you get it working? Are you using CISCO hardware? Can you access the settings for the router? Is your modem CABLE? DSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral October 1, 2006 Author Share ephemeral Member October 1, 2006 yeah...lol i got it working...it turned out to be that the modem needed to be on DCHP as well as the router...for some strange reason, because it shouldnt have to do that, and it wasnt like that before lol. yeah i have a linksys wirless gate/switch/router, and we have dsl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie October 1, 2006 Share mookie GC Alumni October 1, 2006 The modem should have to be set the same for the router as for any computer, since a router doing NAT will act as a single host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
