No Internet Connection Between Router and Modem

[danisgod@gmail.com]

Hello,

No Internet Dilemma!

Ive been trying to help my friend out for the last couple of nights
with his new home networking setup.
All he wants is to connect to the internet via his laptop over
wireless while having his home desktop PC hooked up to the cable
modem.

So we have the basic bog standard setup (or so id think)

Internet --- MOTOROLA SB4200 SURFboard cable modem --- AzureWave 54g
Wireless 4-Port Cable Router
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=218646&C=Maplin&U=SearchTop&T=ROUTER&doy=21m8

So After hours of troubleshooting at getting idiotic Windows
Vistas due to its unreliability we finally reolised that the router
wasnt picking
up an internet connection from it cable modem.

Im all out of ideas now and thought id try my luck with this forums...

Hope to hear from you all soon

Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan,

If this is a new router, you may try to power off the SB4200 ? (by
removing the power cord, not using the power off/on button, which in
fact is a sleep button).
I had a SB4100 and my ISP has set a parameter that told the modem to keep
the Mac address, so once you have plugged the original network device it
will keep the mac address of this device and will not accept any other
device unless a "hard reset" is done by removing the power cord.

Other than the hard reboot of the cable modem as mentioned, I also found that I had no internet connection with this router until I did the following:

Log into the router

Open the "Firewall" section

Open the "Internet Access" section

Change the from the default "Disabled the Internet Access Function", to, "Block Services Listed Below, Others Allowed"

Then "Apply"

After doing that I suddenly had internet access through the drop cable.

After that I went into the wireless section and found that by default everything was completely open, so, suggest you put the encryption in place.

Now it's running, it's running rather well, giving me a nice 2400KB/s (usenet) from my 20mb connection. I only did a speedtest on the wireless, and that at peak hours, getting about 11mb/s throughput. I'll test it again sometime when it's quiet and see if it can handle the full 20mb/s.

Further to my last post I've tested the wireless part of the router a bit...

Results:

2400MB/s rock steady from usenet usint grabit (same as with wired connection).

Wireless range is much the same as a Netgear router I have.

Also played with the firewall settings and have no problem with P2P using port forwarding.


So, the router is easy to set up, but see my previous post on getting the internet to route through.

I suggest you take a deep breath and start back at square one. You will
want to have a solid connection to your wireless router. Then you have
to realize you're now working with a router and all of your devices
(desktop being one device and laptop being another device) have to
connect to the surfboard cable modem through the router. If you are
attempting another type of configuration, it may just work, but I
suggest connecting the desktop to an available port on the wireless
router. Run the router set up disk on the desktop pc. Then, power up
the Visa laptop. The Vista network configuration will give you many
options, and setting up a dhcp wireless connection is easy to figure
out. Here's an example of a more complex configuration. My wife's
laptop, running Vista home premium, connects to my home wireless access
point using a static IP address as first choice; as a second choice for
when she is away from home, it searches for any signal and will then
request to be assigned an IP via DHCP. You will find Visa is much more
flexible than windows XP when it comes to network configuration options.
When your notebook connects to a wireless network, open the connection
manager to see if the connection is being made to "your" wireless router
and not to your neighbor's wireless router. If my suggestion does not
work for you, then write back with details about how the devices are
connected and what you learned while trying to establish a wireless
connection.
