Holy shit, this router stuff is fucked up, nothing works, someone help me please.
 

As you may have read in my other post i have a new wireless router installed.

Outlook express wont connect to my mail server, AIM wont connect, i cant ping sites (give error) and remote desktop also doesnt work!

I added the necessary ports in the router and that didnt help. I even opened up the whole router for this puter and that didnt help. Im still pretty confident its the router because i dont see what else could block all these connections.

Anybody any clue whats going on?

what kind of router are you using? linksys?

I got the same thing going on with a LinkSys BEFSR41 here.:feels-hot

Damn thing will truck along and decide to quit.

I don't know about wireless, but I have to "port forward" all the ports I want open.

good luck..maybe try the router brands support area or phone.

does it work when you use a hardline?

LINKSYS WRT54G here, just plugged it in, changed the admin passwrds, added wireless security and that;s it. Did not have to configure anything...

did you remember to tell the router to clone the MAC Id for you nic card?

It's in the router web interface, and it's not hard to overlook it.

Mac address is fine.
All those settings are fine. I mean i can browse the web obviously. Its just like anything other than webbrowsing it wont allow.

Did your ip change? Maybe do a ipconfig / all or something similar if you got a different os.. and compare your router settings.

It proberly blocked all ports except 80...Any DMOZ settings?

Linksys solution:

This problem is usually caused by an authorization problem. To resolve the issue, please follow these instructions:
1. Open your browser and type http://192.168.1.1/Filters.htm into the "Address Bar".
2. You will be prompted for a username and password. By default there is no username, and the password is admin. Once you type in the password click OK
3. Once you've gotten past the log in you should be at the filters tab.
4. Click on the Forwarding tab
5. Once the "Forwarding" section opens, click the Port Triggering button.
6. Once you've done this, a new window will appear. Here is an example of how to fill out the ports:

Application Name
E-mail
Trigger Port Range
25 ~ 25
Incoming Port Range
113 ~ 113


7. Once you've done this hit Apply, then Continue.
8. After the settings have been applied, you should be able to use e-mail normally.

can you ping the router? is dhcp enabled? are you using any built in firewallon the router?

I cant ping anything at all.

"transmit failed, error code 65"

No firewall as far as i know.

Let me check that dhcp thing.

run cmd and type

ipconfig /all

and

arp -a

and paste them

DHCP is turned on.

Also i just noticed this option turned checked:

Association control Wireless clients with A checked can associate to the wireless LAN; and allowdeny unspecified MAC addresses to associate.

Is that important or wrong?

uncheck that
that's a filter that you probably didnt configure

its basicly a list you configure with mac addresses of wireless clients you want to allow onto your router. if the mac isnt put in the list, the connection wont be made

How do i copy and paste from a dos window?

right click and pick select all, then highlight what you want and right click again and it puts it in the clipboard

So i turned off mac address control completely? Is that good?
I didnt fix the connection problem tho.

This is what I do for a living. linksys constantly has firmware issues. Update the firmware, make sure you get the proper firmware or you will have a paper weight on your hands.

strange, did you get any ip return or anything listed when you did the arp -a command?

If you dont mind i edited the first part of the ips :)

its not a linksys, its a sitecom

C:\>arp -a

Interface: 192.168.123.108 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
000.168.123.254 00-0c-f6-0d-16-0f dynamic

sorry even so update firmware port trigerring is a issue on most routers.

try
ipconfig /renew
then do
ipconfig /all
again and then ping the default gateway

btw, are you using zonealarm?

btw, does it work atall if you use a cat5 cable instead of wireless or is that even an option?

update firmware

might work
http://www.sitecom.com/driversmanuals.php

Did that all but still the same ping problem, it wont ping shit.
Well, theres 1 cable here and that goes to my buddys computer, he has no wireless network card installed so i really need to get it fixed on mine.

does the router work properly when hardwired

Sorry, what exactly do you mean with that?

your best bet is to
get a cat 5 cable and see if it works from your computer when its directly connected
update the firmware on the router
hold the reset button the router and restore the factory settings
take it back and get a linksys
i havent heard much about sitecom so i dont know about their quality

when you plug a cat5 cable into your ethernet port on your computer instead of using the wireless

Battuss does the router work if plugged in directly from a ethernet cable cat5

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

Get a copy of Dos for Dummies sissy boy!

I tried it, doesnt work.

I may not be a expert on domains but I am a expert on routers:) plug directly into the router with cat5 ehternet cable if that works then check the wireless card out if it does not you are going to need to download the firmware and upgrade the firmware.

I tried that and it works just fine but still the same problem.
