Computer Networking - December 2007

My home network looks like this:

Me --> Linksys WRT54GS (192.168.1.1) -->Actiontec GT701-WG (192.168.1.0) --> Internet (DSL)

I am trying to set up port forwarding to see if it will increase my bitTorrent speeds

I have the Linksys router forwarding the correct port to my (static) IP address. I need the Actiontec to forward that same port to the Linksys, but I don't know the IP address of the 'outside' interface of the Linksys. I found a site to do a reverse tracert, but it just showed up as a bunch of asterisks (probably my ISP blocking the info).

I tried to telnet into the Actiontec, and traceroute myself, but once I log in (it uses a linux shell) none of my text makes it to the CLI. I tried with "telnet" from the command prompt and also with putty, same problem.

I know that the address in question will have to be on the same subnet as 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 (which is how i get to the actiontec) but guess-and-check will take too long.

My D-LINK router used to work fine with my DSL. I recently switched to Cable. I can access 192.168.0.1 site and also ping the router. The connection says that it is connected but I just cant get onto the internet. I tried power cycling and also upgrading the firm ware. Still no luck.

Now I switched back to DSL. I can access internet through the router. However, this connection gets disconnected after every 2 hrs or so. I then have to reset and restart all over again.

what am I missing here? Do I need to set /change anything?
Why would'nt it work with Cable? Why would it lose connection every couple of hours with DSL?

When I access the internet it will only let me on for a few minutes and then it stops. It is a wireless connection, but even when i hook it up via a land connection, it does the same thing. It will work for about ten minutes and then stop. Is there a setting on my computer that wil do this to my computer or is it a hardware problem.

I am getting hacked over and over, I heard that changing the IP address can put an end to that. I tried to change the IP, but I don't know how to. I just want it to be a different number; (resetting would work). My internet is high speed, LAN and it's cable, the OS is Windows Vista Home Premium Edition.

My sis and i want to buy our isp's fastest speed and split the bill half and half and use the same connection. is this possible? if she gets her own router and signs into my account will it log me off? is it legal? i heard it was only illegal to sell it, and i dont see anything wrong with sharing a connection. I have my own router i just wanna know if my sister can log into my dsl account if she buys a router and sets it up at her house and then we can be on at the same time. i dont see why it shouldnt be possible.

(no dumb answers pls :P)

Comcast has been to the house twice. During these two visits they have switched out the modem, switched out the Ethranet cable, and have done all other kinds of troubleshooting techniques. NO LUCK! They had once suggested that my ethranet port has a defect. Then, they had ruled that out due to the fact that my ethranet port reconizes the cable when it is inserted and removed. Any suggestions?

Hey,
I've been having problems with networking since I got this vista laptop. Basically, this is the problem:


I can't switch between wired and wireless networks without rebooting.

Whichever one I start up with is the one I'm stuck with for that entire boot period.

When I try switching networks (either from wireless to wired, if I started with wireless, or from wired to wireless, if I started with wired), it says connected but local only, and I can't get internet connectivity at all.

This problem has been driving me crazy since I got the laptop in august. It's irritating in many ways, and should not be happening.
Any ideas, people?

If I have 4 computers running on wireless nics in a ad-hoc network, and one of those has both a wireless nic and a Ethernet card with separate ip's. and that computer is also connected into a switch that is connected to 2 other computers in a infrastructure network.
They all are on static ip's with a class 3 subnet and have the same workgroup. The ad-hoc network can see each other on the workgroup and also when you ping arp -a and the hard wired network can see the other computers on the hub while in the workgroup and when i ping arp -a. The computer with both wireless and the ethernet card can see both.
How do i configure the central computer so that when i do "arp -a" on a ad-hoc it sees across the central computer to the hard lined computers and vice versa so that the hard lined computers can see the ad-hoc computers when arp -a is done?
#2: Where in the registry can i change a single 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 zero so that the initial password no longer shows up as asterisks?

My neighbor agreed to allow me share his wifi connection for the next month or so as long as I split the bill. I was using it without any problems. All of a sudden, I'm redirected to a Comcast webpage and no matter what I do I can't get through to the net.

We have a Netgear EN108 that is failing (8 ports RJ45, one port BNC). Between buildings we have coax cable on BNC connectors, however this cable cannot be replaced. This particular hub and others like are hard to find these days. Is it possible to transition from the BNC coax connector to an RJ45 connector to use in the latest hub/switches? I also notice that they aren't called hubs anymore, but "switches". Are these pretty much the same things as the old hubs (other than speed) or is there any thing special regarding coax cable I need to know? (other than they don't have BNC ports).
