Added to Roadrunner WRT54GL, no internet, I tried everything!

I installed my Wireless Linksys router for my Roadrunner connection, so I can get all my 3 computers online. I can connect a computer directly to the modem and of course, he can get online, but I get nothing with the router added into the mix. I searched here and on other forums for at least a week trying to get this working, but not luck. I know that this topic gets grew a LOT so I apologize, but I promise you I searched before making a new thread and none of the solutions work.

Brief overview:

WRT54GL router (firmware 1.21 of tomato)

Motorola SURFboard SB5101 modem

-Modem-> WAN port on the router

-router WAN port set to DHCP

-The value of the MTU 1500

-Router IP 192.168.1.1 (default)

-Modem IP 192.168.100.1 (default)

-Nec DHCP LAN (range 192.168.1.100 - 253 * 255.255.255.0)

-router Ethernet port 1-> Host (only 1 computer connected at this time)

-Computer configured DHCP

-MAC address of the computer that is cloned to WAN

As long as I turn on the modem first and then the router, WAN will connect just like it should using the IP/subnet/DNS/etc provided by the modem. The strange thing is that I can bring up the console for the router and the modem, and I can also ping the modem... so, everything seems to be set up properly on my end, but for some reason, I can simply not outside the modem for internet. In fact when I try to go on a site like google.com for example the browser says «Waiting for google.com...» "You would think that if there really was a problem for the internet, he would say"Looking up google.com", but maybe not, whatever. I know that I don't have the settings of the software/on my things messing PC upwards.

Here are the basic steps I used to put everything in place:

1. connect the modem to the WAN port and computer with Ethernet 1 port

2. set the router WAN port DHCP, save

3. manually set MTU to 1500 WAN, save

4 clone the MAC of PC to WAN address, save

5. set LAN ports DHCP, save

6 turn off modem, router and PC... let rest a few minutes.

7. turn power on modem, wait until completely cooked

8. turn on power up router, wait until completely cooked

9 power PC, enable LAN connection

At this stage in the console of the router WAN settings show the good MAC, IP, subnet, gateway, DNS and MTU. As I said before, I can successfully ping the modem and make appear the modem console, so there is obviously no problem of communication for the modem... it just won't let me on the internet!

Think it has something to do with the local network subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the WAN/modem being 255.255.252.0? They both must use the same subnet mask or is it still important? The 3 bytes of all the IP on the network should be the same, with just the last single byte?

Apart from that, I'm all out of ideas... I got this exact configuration works with my previous cable ISP (no-Roadrunner/Time Warner) with almost no configuration is not at all and I'm seriously about to go to another ISP if I can't get this to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you people.

(and also thanks for reading this rather long post )

(Mod Note: under the guidance of the compliance of the directive.)

Many people I fixed it and I feel pretty silly.  It turns out that in Advanced--> routing, under "Miscellaneous" all I had to do was passing from 'Router' to the 'bridge '.

Duh.

Well blood I made things WAY too difficult.  Thanks in any case people!

    Time for a basic troubleshooting Firefox.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • I like Firefox, I got Chrome as Firefox won't open Javascript for hulu. I've tried everything.

    I get an error saying my browser or security does not javascript open when I try to get on hule. I have tried everything to implement uninstall reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and cookies and make sure that javascript is enabled, uninstall and reinstall java. I have no problem using Chrome. I prefer Firefox, but I have no choice.

    Fortunately, Firefox didn't need the Java plugin to run JavaScript. It is built in.

    If JavaScript has been disabled, many sites Internet would shout about it. If you see this problem on Hulu, the likely problem has some other cause, such as some selective filtering by an add-on or external security/privacy software.

    Many users have recently increasingly aware of privacy and two changes made to their cookie settings or installed extensions that stop a few information to reach Web sites. While this reduces followed, it can also cause certain features of the site to break.

    As test, try to use Hulu in Mode without failure of Firefox in a private browsing window. This initiative will allow to bypass the cookie settings restrictive, as well as other behaviors extensions filtering, so whether those who are a factor.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

    Help > restart with disabled modules

    In the small dialog box that should appear, click 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

    Then open a window of incognito using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + p
    • File menu > new private window
    • the orange Firefox button > new private window

    In this window, try Hulu. Any difference?

  • tried everything to no problems printing - no luck

    Hi, since I upgraded to El Capitan my macbook air was not able to see the printers on my network wifi or connected via USB. I fixed it once (I kept trying things and eventually they both show) but they disappeared a few days later and today I tried previously tried everything and nothing works. Here is what I tried it - is there anything else anyone can think? I would like to downgrade to Yosemite, but Setup was removed from the Apple store so it's not an option more.

    (1) I checked to see if the printers were on and connected to the wifi network.

    (2) I have reset the printing system

    (3) I renamed the printer folder in library old printer and reinstalled the printer drivers for printers

    (4) I used the terminal window to correct permissions

    (5) I downloaded the latest drivers from gutenprint for mac

    (6) I installed a completely clean picture of El Capitan After erasing my drive

    (7) I have restored a previous image that I created just after I solved the problem of the printer

    None of these things worked. When I click on the plus sign on the printers and scanners to add a new printer, there is no printer available to add. Even when I connect one of the printers with a USB port, it is not seen by the mac.

    I really don't know what to do at this point. It is not a printer problem, because these are two different manufacturers - it's certainly a problem with the mac. I am able to use google cloud print with printers (if they are indeed on the wifi network).

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I installed a completely clean picture of El Capitan After erasing my drive

    And then I tried adding printers without installing other software, or whatever it is restoring a backup? Are you sure of that?

    Is what kind of printer?

  • I tried everything, but I get "SERVER NOT FOUND TRY AGAIN" when I try again his connects. What is the prayer of the problem. N ".

    I tried everything but keep getting "SERVER NOT FOUND TRY AGAIN" when I try again once it normally connects. What is the problem please

    This can have several reasons:

    first make sure that your firewall/security software allows firefox to fully access the internet.

    then you can try the solutions (proxy settings, the change of dns server) provided in this support thread: https://support.mozilla.org/de/questi.../704934

    If this does not help, also try disabling ipv6 as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Server%20not%20found?s=server%20not%...

  • Local access only to my network. Tried everything!

    I was waching an online TV show the other day when my internet crapped all at once on. At first he never even found my wireless network, only one called "linksys" and my neighbours networks. When I tried to connect to the linksys network, it only let me connect with local access. Now, my computer can't find my home network, but its still just get local access. Failed to get even on the computer of my father who is connected to the router and internet modem. I almost tried everything and olein helped. I looked at the status of the router on my dad PC nd, it seems a little strange to me...

    Firmware version: v3.03.6, January 6, 2005

    Current time: not available

    MAC address: 00:13:10:939:FD

    Router name: WRT54G

    NME host:

    Domin name:

    Connection type: automatic configuration - DHCP

    IP address: 0.0.0.0

    Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0

    Default gateway: 0.0.0.0

    DNS 1:

    DNS 2:

    DNS 3:

    MTU: 1500

    Whenever I had problems with the router before I always just be abe press 'disconnect' on the status page, but for some reason any that he's gone... I tried the buttons to release/renew DHCP on the page but nothing helped. And I can't download the new firmware because I can not connect to the internet on any of our computers! It is running XP, by the way, my Vista laptop. Thanks for any help. I'll feel stupid if the fix is something really simple and stupid...

    If you had a "Disconnect" button before and now only a 'rescued' button, then it seems as if your router lost its configuration. You must disconnect if the router is configured for PPPoE connection (usually on the DSL lines). You must renew if the router is configured for automatic/DHCP (usually on cable lines).

    Is it possible that your router wireless network also returned to 'linksys' without wireless encryption? It would be a clear indication that the configuration has been lost.

    I suggest that you reset the router by default to clear any other remnants of your configuration. Press reset for 30 seconds on the power button. Check the lights on the router for the activity where the button is broken.

    After the reset, I suggest that upgrade you to the latest firmware if available. You need to download the firmware in one of your computers file. Then connect the computer to the router. Open the web interface and use the Firmware Upgrade works somewhere on the Administration tab download the new file of the firmware on your router and let him finish the upgrade. After the update of the firmware, do an another factory reset (reset button of 30 seconds) to make sure that you have a consistent state.

    After the reset reconfigure your router via the web interface. Still, if you have a DSL, you will probably need PPPoE. You must enter a user name and password used for your internet connection (perhaps supplied by your ISP). Once you have changed to PPPoE and entered the good name of user and password of the router should connect again.

    After that, don't forget to secure your router: change the default SSID "linksys" to something unique. Select the WPA2 or WPA Personal with a good password. Also, remember to change the password "admin" to your router on the Administration page.

  • How can I make the folders always open full screen in Vista. I have tried everything it suggested. NOTHING WORKS!

    I tried everything I found on internet to make files open full screen and stay like that. Is there a permanent solution for this? I've been at Microsoft, vistax64.com, etc. including Alt space X - problem solved or BAD! Help, please. Thank you.

    Three options.

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  • Windows Explorer hangs and crashes on (tried everything) video files

    So I've had this problem for awhile now and it does not seem to deteriorate. Every time I open a folder in Windows Explorer that contains video files (of any type), YOU start to have problems. The Green loading bar starts to take forever, or if that manages to load properly, then doing ANYTHING with these files will result in US gel and ends up crashing. No matter if it is just a right-click, trying to highlight, trying to move, try to remove or trying to open. They all get the same answer.

    Things I've tried and the results:

    -Set the folder options to never display thumbnails (bar is no longer a problem too bright green)

    -Set options folder for general documents

    -Tried to optimize files with videos to video

    -Switched back to General

    -Ran of virus/malware scans (clean)

    -Never allowed cache, the nooks and the crannies of unnecessary files

    -Uninstall unused programs on C:\ for free space

    -Defragged everything

    -Uninstalled and reinstalled each video player

    -Uninstalled and reinstalled all my codecs, as well some as superfluous jic

    -Have toggled between every possible program by default, VLC seems more reliable (see the note below VLC), Quicktime least WMP and DivX uneven at best

    -Ran msconfig and methodically unchecked/restarted and then double checked / restart all services and the start of the program (no change)

    -Ran SFC Scannow (no reported problem)

    -Booted safe mode (no difference, we HAVE still freezes on video files, don't say anything about the running server error)

    -Use a directory of third-party files (Q - dir) to access files, Q - dir froze after right click on videos

    -Use a video converter to convert videos between file types, now accessible but converted videos seems not to to material they are converted into - in addition, nonconverted original suddenly too much work very well, but ONLY those that are accessible by the converter

    -Used VLC to find and open the video files. Œuvres, but only one at a time, that is, if I try to open another video file after the first in the same window of VLC, VLC freezes. Need to close the program, and then reopen the program to open a new file without freezing. Recently opened files of VLC are accessible via Windows Explorer without freezing (note, the accessibility seems temporary, filed consulted with VLC a few days ago to return to the State unclickable).

    -Note on VLC: may seem to move and delete files using the VLC browser without problem, but ONLY before opening any file - after VLC must be closed and then reopened as previously reported

    And Yes, I turned it works several times.

    I feel that I've tried everything, and the problem seems to be growing. I feel like there must be a problem with the way that we, I don't know, compiling data on files or something, but I don't have enough background tech to get past this wave and completely unnecessary idea.

    Oddly enough, everything else on my computer is fine. Non-video-folder navigation is fine, no lag or freeze, programs starts quickly, internet connection is fine, browser videos play without problem and when I can get the video file plays on something they play very well - just good luck for their.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm about to tear my hair out.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    As you said you are not facing this problem to boot, it means that you are facing this problem due to a third-party application.

    If you are referring to the steps in the link below under 8.1 and Windows 8 Windows in 3 steps , after you check the box against hide all Microsoft services. You will see a list of non-Microsoft services, you need to check the cause of these services.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    Uncheck half the service and check the rest of the half.  If you face the question yet, then it menas that you are facing this issue due to services that were not invalid.
