Solve : Cannot connect to internet but all appears ok? |
|
Answer» HI, Yesterday afternoon i stopped being able to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable to a router and an adsl line. I didnt do anything at the time and suspect a setting has changed or been corrupted but i just cant find it. Can anybody spare the time to talk me through this one please? As i SAY, everything appears to be working just fine but it will not connect. I run two LAPTOPS wirelessly from home as well and they WORK fine. I feel it must be something to do with the settings on the hardwired such as security/firewall. Help much appreciated as expecting important EMAIL this afternoon. Cheers, Helen.have you tried other ports on your router??? |

Solve : DSL Connection fine, but computer won't connect? |
|
Answer» I've got a bit of a problem with my home computer. We've got an older Compaq desktop that we use for our main computer, which has a DSL connection from AT&T which suddenly stopped working. One day it was fine like normal, and the next it refused to make any connection, giving me a "limited or no connectivity" MESSAGE. I went through the *censored* that is AT&T tech support, who told me it was a problem on my computer, not with the connection (further verified by plugging my Vista laptop into the DSL MODEM and having no connection issues whatsoever) |

Solve : Wireless network setup? |
|
Answer» I and the two girls that I live with have cable internet, but we decided that because there is only one cable hook-up in the apartment, we would just buy a wireless router and access the internet that way. It has worked out okay for them, since they had connected via wireless before and sort of knew how to go about it. I, on the other hand, have yet to get it to work with my computer. My wireless card, which is brand new, came with a driver disc that included a utility program, and so far that's what I've been using to try to get my computer to connect. But I don't know what I'm doing at all, and the program can only do so much. (I have Windows XP, btw, in case that matters) |

Solve : Can't drop files to the server's Desktop folder, windows 10? |
|
Answer» HELLO, a few days ago at my business I everyone lost the ability to drop/copy and paste files to the SERVER's Desktop folder from the other computers in the network. They can do so to each other, except for the server. In that CASE, we need to drop the files in the Public folder. Any ideas? All computers run with windows 10 Thank you!You should use the public folder. That is why it is there. Which desktop folder do you mean? Each USER has their own desktop folder (C:\users\\Desktop). Do users RECEIVE an error when they attempt to open or copy files? If you are trying to share a specific user's Desktop folder, since it is in their profile folder I believe the ACL is set to only allow access to that local userID. |

What do I NEED to set in the wireless router to connect to the hotspot device to get those machines online again Ask your ISP. It probably violates their rules. Thread locked. |

Solve : Choosing a VPN or PIA? |
|
Answer» In any case I wouldn't recommend or use any "VPN service", you are routing your traffic through some random person/company's network with no idea how secure it is. This both slows your connection down and arguably makes it less secure. The program is ok, but the installer also gets me many unwanted applications. My screen got covered with a constant cascade of popup windows. It was a pain in the a__. I think I managed to get rid of all of them, and hope that there are no leftovers. Making such an installer is very unpolite.Quote In these days when, for security sake, you really don't want java on your computer, you should know that this app is written in java. Since I don't want java on my computer, it would not work for me.Better programs are available. |

Answer» My ROUTER is main. |

Solve : Unauthorized access? |
|
Answer» Scenario: Yes, there is a sway to do that. Home network.# This is dictation. The wireless system used in home networks is sometimes called Wi-Fi and I have to teach this program what Wi-Fi means. From now on when I say it Wi-Fi it means a wireless phone system. Okay, that was not for you, it was for my dictation secretary. She is kind of dumb, actually she is a computer program. From your post. Quote Even If i have set up strong wifi password, constantly changing it. I see you have a home network. That presuppose you connected a second router in order to increase the range of the Wi-Fi signal and make Wi-Fi available in your entire house. Here is the apparent flaw in your plan. If both routers have Wireless access, then both routers have to have password enabled. Also, the physical location of the second router is critical. Here is why. Let's suppose you have a neighbor that is quite friendly and generally honest and would never steal anything out of your garage. But sometimes you leave the garage door unlocked and your neighbor sneaks in through the garage door locates your router and PRESSES the reset button on the back of the router. He knows that will clear the password on the Wi-Fi access and he now can get into your Wi-Fi without knowing the password because there is no password. This is one of the reasons why a second router should not be in a location where somebody can access it without your knowledge. Now that's one point and that assumes you have the second router in the garage. But now for the second point that you have to pay attention to. The password of the second router is controlled only by the second router. The first router will not transfer password information to the second router. In other words, home routers are not MADE to work together as integrated systems. The second router does not inherit the password restrictions imposed by the first router. The first router can only control Wi-Fi access on its own Wi-Fi transponder. The second router has to have a password set for its on-board wireless transponder. Depending on how the routers are set up, it might not be possible to access the second router through the first router. In that case you have to take the cable that goes to the second router and plug it into your computer. Then you can access the second router using the local IP address for that router. Possibly the address would be: 192.168.0.1 and that is what you would put in the address bar of the browser. You will have to check your documentation to see how your routers are set up for local IP address. Anyway, when you get into the second router you'll have to set the password for the second router. Also, you might want to take a note about what channel each router is using. The routers should use different channels but could share the same password. In fact, both routers could use the same station ID and the same password if they have different channels. Went to routers are together in the same area it is important that they do not use adjacent channels or even the same channel. So you would have to come up with a set of channel numbers that would just reduce interference in your area. Nevertheless, the most important point is that both routers must have their own Wi-Fi password in place. As for the MAC filter in the first router, it may only work for the Wi-Fi section of the router. And as I stated earlier, each router handles Wi-Fi separately. To summarize, you need to set the Wi-Fi password for the second router. And you need to make sure the second router is not in a location where somebody could sneak in and reset the router. I believe those two details will resolve your problem. You still haven't explained what makes you so sure that someone else is stealing your connection...yes. And the another small question. If first router have disabled wifi radio, can the second router support wireless devices? And. If second router is dependant by 1st router, and it be invisible in DHCP list? [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Here is a screenshot from my XFINITY router. Notice there are lots of things on my network. All of the devices I can IDENTIFY. In my case, all of the DHCP is under the control of the main router Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway Make sure the second router lets the first do DCHP. Wireless security is under the control of the router that gives access. If first router has no wireless the second router can do wireless. Even with first doing DHCP. Does that help? (1) Please explain why you think someone is stealing your connection (2) Your screenshot shows that your router is sitting on the IP range 180.168.x.x - This is a public IP range and should therefore not be used on your router, did you change this? This should be set to an internal range such as 192.168.x.x. As it is configured currently, you risk being unable to access certain servers. (3) The DHCP doesn't have to list all devices, only those that obtained their IP address automatically.Quote from: camerongray on July 30, 2016, 03:58:26 PM (1) Please explain why you think someone is stealing your connection One person acting very suspicious. That person definately acting like this once stealing ethernet. I changed this IP. If DHCP do not list all devices, is there any sections who do show it?Guys, I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this Quote from: Allan on July 31, 2016, 03:31:31 AM Guys, I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this Squall's new account?I mean. How to detect devices who have static IP. And how to block them?OK, I am GOING to leave here. The OP says he has two routers and he says he can tell the a pirate is on the second router. I tole him to set wireless password on second router and keep the router out of sight or reach of the pirate. He did not respond to my advice. Instead he comes back with another scenario about use of static IP in the DHCP table. I am leaving. I'm also going to leave this, apart from someone supposedly acting suspiciously, there is absolutely nothing indicating that the connection is being stolen or that there are two routers, WiFi is disabled as well making stealing the connection impossible without having physical access. All I'm going to say is - Change the IPs back to being 192.168.x.x - As it is currently (180.168.x.x) is incorrect and will lead to issues accessing certain websites. |

Answer» I always have used a wired connection to my modem with an ethernet cable but lately when I used it it said i was connected to the wifi router but was still getting 0 internet access. I switched over to using a wireless adapter on my PC and i will have internet for a few minutes to an hour and then it will star to PERIODICALLY cut me off from internet. I know it isnt my internet or SERVICE provider because on my SMARTPHONES and tablets I get flawless internet access. Check that the USB port the wifi adapter is plugged into is not set to turn off after a certain period of time. |

Solve : INVALID URL help? |

Answer» Hi everyone I am really having a huge problem with my router right now, All over 1 site. My bank site, www.royalbank.com I just cannot sign into my bank at all through any broswer or computer/phone in my house, Everything on the site works fine but when i go to sign into online banking i get this ERROR The requested URL "[no URL]", is invalid. I just dont know what to do and I know its the router because when i plug my computer directly into my modem it works Sorry I just realized when I read this earlier and had someone talking to me at same time I didnt see this detail. So it is a router config issue from the looks of it. Do you have DNS set up in the router to point to static DNS addresses vs using the DNS that is PROVIDED by your ISP? If so, set the router up to not have static DNS entries and instead rely on your ISP's DNS IP ADDRESS to deal with DNS instead of your router providing redirection to an alternate DNS IP address server. |

Solve : Which router should i buy ?? |
|
Answer» I have a BSNL (A GOVERNMENT owned broadband Company ) FTTH (fiber to the home) broadband connection , I have a Modem :- "Huawei echolife HG850a GPON terminal with 4 ehernet ports and 2 voice port " 1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), and must use CATEGORY 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6).Gigabit Wi-Fi can not match this range unless you employ special ANTENNAS, which may defeat the purpose of Wi-Fi. http://www.zdnet.com/article/gigabit-wi-fi-802-11ac-is-here-five-things-you-need-to-know/ To extend the range of a fiber system, you use more fiber.I want to connect a router with my modam /PC by which I can connect my other wireless devices to the internet Any current home wireless router will provide normal Wi-Fi service. But he speed may only be 54 mega bits per second. Some routers go for over $150, but it is hard to justify the extra cost. Some very good routers are under $100. I have used Net gear, Linksys and D-link routers. They are work as advertised. ome can do up to 150 Mbps. You might want to look into the gigabit wireless units, but the range is limited. Here is a Netgear for about $80 and claims to be a gigabit router. I have been happy with my Netgear router similar to this one. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wi-Fi-Gigabit-Router-WNDR4300/dp/B008HO9DK4/ref=sr_1_1 I know there is good Cisco router which work very well. This is Cheaper model and give strong signal. It Cisco871w-g-a-k9. And cisco routers never fails. http://www.routersale.com/cisco-router/buy-sell/used-new-cisco871w-g-a-k9-price-toronto-canadaGiven the connection is fibre to the premises, I IMAGINE it's pretty fast, therefore I would get something with Gigabit ethernet and 802.11ac wireless so you can take full advantage of it. I can't suggest any in particular but stick to reputable, popular brands. Quote from: revithasree on August 10, 2016, 02:11:58 PM I know there is good Cisco router which work very well.

Answer» Hello There! Would like to confirm that persistent PING with Router's interface ::192.168.x.x are showing up no data packet losses & neither does the persistent PING with www.google.com is able to show up anything unusual! Nothing unusual to router (LOCAL) and to google (WAN) would indicate that all should be well. So... where is the problem then? If there are only very few entries in the logs but 99.9% of the time all is well, then all should be well. Quote Please suggest further....& lastly, isn't there a 'Smart-Way' to identify 'Lags n Latency' within a Network using any of the available Freeware?As far as lags and latency, ping itself has all those features. At the end of the ping when terminated it will give you minimum, maximum, and average latency + count of failed pings which should equal 0, and it is the FREE and Smart-Way Quote Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:Dear DaveLembke, Thanks for your reply. Is there also a way to gracefully terminate PING command when suffixed by -t? All I know is to just X the window, & therefore "Net Outcomes" are not evident with such a stance! Secondly, Are Speed-Tests the only available criterion to gauge the Potency of an ISP's Network for the end-users? Are there any Comprehensive tools available for the end-users to showcase the entire N/w Health, Performance, efficiency to their ISPs? How can the end-Users compel their ISPs to improve on the basis of a sustained Data-Compilation?Pressing Control + C will terminate the ping that is running with -t persistent. And you will get the summary that you didnt see before. Sorry I forgot to disclose this earlier. I thought I typed the CTRL + C as the exit method to the ping, but looking back I forgot to. |

Solve : Wifi booster/extender/ repeater? |
|
Answer» Im not really familiar with these devices. I need help about it. ATM it is very important for me. 1. No 2. To be access point (AP). Just to do all router functions. For exmaple my router is plugged to 'Lan wire" and 'cable wire'. ( cable wire goes to || I dont know what device it is || but it is written on it "POWER ACTIVE LAN POE". So my router must have plugged 3 wires in total to work.) And I asked, is there some kind of routers, who would not require these wires, and just being enought to be mounted to the socket?Most routers sold today for home use are both Wireless and Ethernet This link claims to know which are best: http://www.gadgetreview.com/best-wireless-router-for-home-gaming-mac-overall-2015-2016 Here is an image of a favorite. Four antenna is not really needed. But looks good. The level of security depends much on the CHOICES you make. Presently I am using a router with modem provided by my Internet company. I can either git into it with Ethernet or with wireless. I have selected apasswordtahtI believe is secure. Also, I have a repeater in the tool shed to let my daughter have Internet in here apartment behind the house. It has the same password. Works good.So the router can be without ports? ( talking about WAN and ethernet Ports, those at the router back. ) If yes, it means they can be plugged to any socket and capture internet, or socket must be specific? Rear view of a typical wireless router for home use. The image is from this page: https://www.verizon.com/home/accessories/verizon-high-speed-wifi-gateway/ Neatgear also makes a router that is similar to this. Any computer or device that wants to connect via wireless must use a password or comply with some kind of security method. Password is not required for a Ethernet connection. Therefore, the router must be place in a locati9on that has a locked door or restricted physical entry. To my knowledge, most modern Wi-Fi routers will allow a repeater with password PROTECTION. On some repeaters the rest button might not reset the password. Does that answer your questions? More rear views... Rear views of popular routers...Quote So the router can be without ports?No. The router connects to the modem by ethernet cable. There has to be a WAN port. The LAN ports are to connect devices that you want wired to the router. Even switches and hubs have ports. At least one device should be wired to the router. Security-wise, you turn OFF remote administration. You don't want someone remotely breaking into the router and changing all the settings, INCLUDING the password. [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]A range extender may or may not have other ports. It works off the antenna of a wireless router. [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Yeah, useful info. Some info about my router: Firmware: 3.9.7 Build 090821 Rel.58159n Hardware: WR841N v5 00000000 Perhaps my router is old and have alot of flaws. But I got a new question. How about "satellite internet" ? (In this case, I figured out, that person always connects extra device (because of noise I hear), perhaps it is adapter.) Can satellite router( or receiver ) bypass my router, im sure it requires WAN port, etc...? Because If I Unplug my router and 'black anthena wire' ( which is connected to device named 'Power Active LAN POE') , that person goes mad.For example like this? https://www.strong.tv/downloads/leaflets/8530_LL_EN.pdfOkay, enough of your paranoia. No more questions about bypassing routers or who is accessing your internet. I'm locking this thread and you need to stop wasting EVERYONE's time with this nonsense on our site. |

Answer» This is more of a theory CRAFTING question/sounding board. I'm a business owner/end-user, but I'm fairly sophisticated in IT. So the facts: I have two locations, about 200 miles apart, both small retail stores (6-10 workstations). The first location has been up and RUNNING for over a year, the 2nd location will be coming online in a few months. Location 1 currently has in-house Win Server 2012, which runs our retail point-of-sale software/foxpro database. This software basically tracks all our inventory, purchases, receiving, sales and does full accounting. So basically we can't live without it. Location 2 is a second location license on this particular software, so both stores will/can use the same database/inventory, and it allows in-store transfers.. etc... |

In computing, netstat (network statistics) is a command-line network utility tool that displays network connections for the Transmission Control Protocol (both incoming and outgoing), routing tables, and a number of network interface (network interface controller or software-defined network interface) and network ...Seldom, if ever, do most users need to use this. When you connect to the Internet, SEVERAL things start to happen. Thee are different services that Windows programs may need for normal use. For example, programs check for updates, security certificates are verified and so on.If you want to look for unusual activity, I would run wireshark and tell it to monitor your NIC. And dont use your computer and see if its broadcasting or receiving connections to an outside IP address. Then perform an IP address lookup to see what the IP matches. Most of the time its nothing, but sometimes you can find issues this way. I for example had a strange network traffic occuring on a system a while back and tracked it down to Pando Media Booster that came with a free game that was turning my system into a seed for a bit torrent that I didnt want happening. So I shut off the seed of my system to others because my upload speed was getting crippled with my system serving up files for others to download. Netstat will show open ports etc, but other than that its not as helpful as trapping packets and looking up as to what the traffic is up to with wireshark. Do you have any odd behavior that has you looking for malware or a hacker etc?Hi thanks. Purpose of me asking is i found software from here installed http://www.hhdsoftware.com/device-monitoring-studio Someone may have installed it as a trial. Do other people have "physical access" to your computer to install stuff such as roommate etc? Someone would have had to have physical access to the system to install this or a virus or malware allow REMOTE admin access to install the trial. Thing is that if your system was hacked, the hacker would have used a keylogger or something that runs as a TSR that is better stealthed from detection. Any hacker using a trial of a tool like this to gain information would be a hacker that isnt very well skilled and likely refers to script kiddie means of hacking. I feel someone with physical access to your system installed this vs a hacker as a greater probability. So uninstall the software and keep others off of your computer and the problem should be solved. Quote License Type:Thank you. I cannot uninstall as i dont have permission, i need permission from trusted installer, who or what that is i dont know. I am using the only admin account.. And personally i suspect someone who is no computer hacker. If im talking rubbish let me know but i feel someone is also adding/edditing webpages i visit with html. if i press right click, source, on the CODE some of the entries are what i consider not legit. ive seen code in a "container"? which i read is a way for something to run without my pc being able to see it? There are these DOMBreak points, event listeners? not to sure what they are but certain sites have a delay on when i enter the url. facebook will always tell me the first login attempt is incorrect. Im no expert about certifcates when visiting websites but every sites certifcate when i VIEW it is "Ensures the identity of a remote computer" "Ensures the identiy of a local computer" followed by a long code underneath The other day after accidently somehow geting on to the source page for the first time ever it told me i was printing 71 pages and it baffled me, but investigating i think it is something which is capturing the html code and being used in something called an aplication gatway. I also have a printer installed set as my default which i have no access to because its denied, ms xms document writer As id been suspecying something for a while i downloaded a program called prtg and afew hours after lookinh around and trying to learn it a new connection apeared under virtual machines under the name of my pc I could be completely wrong but i think that every device on my network is being surveyed remotely. Quote I cannot uninstall as i dont have permission, i need permission from trusted installer, who or what that is i dont know. I am using the only admin account..How are you trying to uninstall it? TrustedInstaller is a built-in used by Windows Installer and Windows Update. Quote if i press right click, source, on the code some of the entries are what i consider not legit. ive seen code in a "container"? which i read is a way for something to run without my pc being able to see it? You are reading Javascript source and pointing at anything remotely related to the problems you are having as a possible culprit. references to "container" DOMBreakpoint's, event listeners, etc are perfectly normal in Javascript. Quote Im no expert about certifcates when visiting websites but every sites certifcate when i view it isIf a certificate failed to pass inspection, you'd know. Quote The other day after accidently somehow geting on to the source page for the first time ever it told me i was printing 71 pages and it baffled meYou accidentally printed it. Quote but investigating i think it is something which is capturing the html code and being used in something called an aplication gatway.No. Every single connection in the netstat is on your local network. There are no remote connections at all.Well thanks for answering, like i said i have not much idea what im looking at. |

Solve : DNS settings in router being changed.? |
|
Answer» How do I stop the DNS settings in my Asus router being changed? It happens when the router is on and connected to the internet even if the PC is off or disconnected. user alert kernel: Intrusion Never seen this alert before... I'd suggest getting a different router maybe. Maybe this one was compromised somehow in its firmware. If its a rental from ISP then they should swap it out free.kernel: Intrusion ? Very odd. Please provide the name of the ISP and the type of service. Where are you located? (Approximate location.) Also, the model number of the router. This information can help others who might have similar issues. It's an Asus WL-600g router, and I've used it for a few years. The ISP supplied router does not do wireless. ISP is Vispa and I'm in the UK on non-cable broadband.Check with Vispa and see if they have a policy of DNS settings. The may wish to limit which DNS you can use. Possible security issue. Understand that this is not the policy of most providers. Of relevance: UK ISP Vispa Internet in Rare Change of DNS Servers Quote vNOTE: In some regions a range of IP assignments might be reserved for a special use. I am familiar with the DNS servers that Vispa prefers it's clients to use, the ones that hijack my settings are managed (if that's the right word) by Digital Ocean:- 139.59.165.202 188.166.150.116 Bhost inc:- 176.126.247.157 Neither company can be bothered to respond to any COMMUNICATION! This sounds like SOMETHING malicious to me, especially given the Admin password being changed. If the DNS server is changed to something malicious then it allows an attacker to redirect you to different websites. Digital Ocean and BHost just rent out servers, anyone can rent one to host whatever they want (including malicious DNS servers). I would completely reset the router (after noting down all your connection settings.etc) and set it up again from SCRATCH setting the Admin password to something secure (and disabling remote management if there's an option) - If the router has been used with the default admin password and it allows people to connect to it over the internet it is possible that an attacker has been able to log into it and change the admin password/DNS server. It may also be worth updating the firmware on the router if a newer version is available to ensure that is patched against any security flaws that may have been discovered in that model. If you still have issues after doing this, you may want to look at just replacing the router, it's a pretty old Wireless G model, a better replacement won't break the bank! |

Solve : Desktop PC won't connect to Wifi...? |
|
Answer» Hello, h... all other devices I own are able to get a connection just fine, my desktop PC is unable to for some reason. I own an HP p6813w with Windows 7 Premium So do you get a connection using the Ethernet cable? About the fancy adapter. Does it work on any other computer? Is it new? Old? My gussies that it never worked. ** ** negative reviews from users and the product has been discontinued.I haven't tried an ethernet connection yet but will do as I would either have to carry the PC from the 2nd floor to the living room where the router is located or get a ridiculously long ethernet CORD. The adapter was purchased brand new a year ago and I did try it on a laptop and worked perfectly. I also tried re-installing the SOFTWARE for it on my desktop but to no avail which is why I'm sure it has to do with the Network & Sharing settings.If you have a smartphone with a WI-fi hot sport, you have a tool you can used to test the adapter. Really, an extremely long Ethernet cable is a good thing to have in your tool box. Standard Ethernet cable can run 100 meters, 328 feet, and still work good. Handy way to troubleshoot Wi-fi issues. If you need a good cheap Wi-Fi adapter, most of the cheap things now on line will work well. See Amazon, Best Buy r Newegg. Or even Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/150Mbps-Wireless-USB-WiFi-Adapter-Network-Dongle-802-11b-g-n-LAN-Card-w-Antenna/139609585 For $8, it is cheaper that buying a long Ethernet cable. Quote from: betadead86 on November 29, 2016, 04:24:10 PM The adapter was purchased brand new a year ago and I did try it on a laptop and worked perfectly.Are you sure the wireless connection with your laptop was using your WiFi adapter? Could the laptop have been connecting via its built-in WiFi adapter? |
