Protocol DHCP on WRT54G

It's a mystery to me how the DHCP server works on my WRT54G. If someone can explain how it works with Windows, while not following RFC 2131 I'll be indebted to.

I connect a system with a proprietary OS using a wired connection. When the computer emits a package DHCP DISCOVER the router never responds. The router is an ARP for a new address and then adds the address in its routing table using the hostname of my computer!  Even my system now for this a DHCP REQUEST using that new address of the router still lies silent. Absolutely not, it meets all DHCP requests.

When I use Microsoft Netmonitor, I send all packages are correct. If I look at a box XP get an address through DHCP, I see the same behavior. The router never answers but see Windows of the ARP by the router and guess that's there address and 3 gratuitous ARP before start using it.

I am completely baffled by this non-standard behavior. Is there a way to get this router to follow together the Protocol as specified in the standard - including - DISCOVER, OFFER, REQUEST, ACK?

I tried Wireshark on my Linux box connected via a cable incase the problem was with Netmonitor on an XP laptop wireless as you suggest.

This time, when I booted the XP box, I saw the acknowledgement of receipt of the REQUEST. After a closer examination of the BOOTP header, I noticed the SHOW was set in the flags. I decided to put it in my package DISCOVER and it works according to the specification now!

I thought that the use of this flag has been deprecated, but alas, I discovered a router he needs. Thank you for your help and for me to get on the road to the use of Wireshark.

Kind regards

Bill

    Hi all:

    Could I use DHCP for wireless connection and assign IP private for PC for connection wiring?

    Yes, you can. You can have the PC running static IP and DHCP on the same network, regardless if it is wired or wireless.

  • VPN site to Site, LRT214, Windows network active directory DNS, WINS, and DHCP

    Hi guys

    New to the forum. I'm trying to set up a network between 2 sites (one site to another). Each location has a DC with its own protocol, dhcp, dns and wins on the same domain service. I bought 2 LRT214 to establish the connection between the 2 sites.

    I tried searching, but all results are pretty generic (IE assuming you will use the LRT214 as DNS DHCP etc.).

    I went through the pages of the router configuration, and there are so many options. For my particular configuration objectives, which will be the best way to do this? Open vpn? EasyLink vpn? I think I'd rather do a standard vpn configuration, but then for that I have a lot of questions such as: security methods to use (FROM THE, 3DES, SHA1, MD5, etc.). can I export a cert of AD and import to the router, or export from the router and import to AD?

    I know the questions are in all directions and there is much more that I don't specifically know until I get by configuring this router at both ends. Just trying to come up with an initial plan. I guess someone must have made a similar setup and would like to know what is a good start (maybe less safe to operate), and while I get more familiar and it all worked, start to down to safety.

    Is there maybe a guide who walks through this installation with explanations of each parameter type?

    Sorry for the long post and thanks for any direction.

    I suggest you use the gateway to gateway installation and use all default settings it for this time. To start, you can try this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=240cfc1d772642dfad1deb7500a2fa6c_Creating_an_IPSec...

    MurrayJoe:

    > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

    You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

    If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

    If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

    Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

    There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

    If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

    Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

    DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

    Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

    You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

    But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

    I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

  • VLAN Trunking between 6248 and 2848

    Hello

    I have a Powerconnect 6248 switch connected to a 2848 and I try to get a VLAN on the 2848.

    VLAN working and properly receive DHCP addresses, traffic lanes and DNS runs on the 6248.

    The Protocol DHCP, DNS server is connected to port 1 on the 6248.

    When I create a Trunk port on 3 the 6248 Port, allow all VLANS through it, creating a trunk on port 1 of the 2848 on VLAN10 and try to plug in devices inside, they can see all other devices connected to the L3 switch.

    The two switches are running the latest firmware and the L3 on his own works as expected. I can't get any kind of circuits working at L2, tried with normal cable and crossover switch.

    Here is the config of the L3 6248. Switch 2848 L2 has a blank canvas with 10 VLANS created on ports 1,2,3,4 with port 1 as the trunk port installation.

    Any ideas pleeease? Anyone? It drives me crazy.

    After turning off spanning tree on the 2848, all works now.

    VLAN, trunking everything.

    Thanks for the help! :)

    I hope that if someone else can use what it took me ages to develop. I plugged on Netgear switches etc and they seem to work.

    The issue was going on between the dell 6248 and 2848, Spanning tree is enabled on the default 2848. If I was going to the Netgear via the 6248, then at the 2848 switches worked.

    My config on the l3 also works very well if someone would use :)

  • Problems connecting to an affair SG300-20

    I have the following configuration:

    1 SG300-20 with all our servers (about 6) L2 value right now.

    1 SG300-20 with all our workstations (about 12) L2 value right now.

    1 L3 procurve switch/router with 2 VLANS (one for VOIP) and one for the LAN

    The SG300 background on the grid (with servers) is plugged into the Procurve (which is at the top of the grid) its port 5-port Procurve 25.  Port 26 on the Procurve is connected to our Wan (via a sonicwall firewall).  The Protocol DHCP and DNS are all on this switch.

    The SG300 above who has connected workstations and is connected to the SG300 background with a cable from the 19-port 20 the SG300 with servers (as mentioned above).

    The Procurve software has all IP phones connected on it.  As noted above, it is connected to the switch with the servers via port 25 to port the SG300 5.

    I seem to have a problem with the workstations on the SG300 with all other positions for obtaining an IP address.  If I Plug one with an address obtaining in the ProCurve or switch with the DHCP server on it issues, he seized an address immediately.  But it takes an eternity or never a Catcher if connected to the SG300 with workstations.

    STP is enabled and set to automatic in all cases.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  It seems clear to the top/get better if I reboot for awhile.  I see not too many CRC errors or errors in packets.  All is well in the 1 percent or less area.

    Should I plug the Procurve on each switch and then remove the link between the two SG300?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi William, you can disable the tree covering weight or filter the BPDU or activate the fast port manually on the client ports that should accelerate this process. It's progression by protocols spanning tree port probably cause this delay.

  • Protect against changes in intellectual property on guest VM

    We have several ESXi hosts, running some VM guests, for the most part, 2003 Server and Linux.

    Our customers get full root/administrator access to their VM.

    How can I protect my clients network, change the IP addresses of their servers?

    (Use the Protocol DHCP is not a solution because it prevents them from making a change)

    What do you suggest me?

    Maybe you need a different design?

    Maybe if you isolated within their own virtual local area network clients and is 1-to-1 mappings to public IP address on a firewall. The only impact of change them their IP address, is that they would violate their service, not another.

    Thanks in advance

    In this case, the routing is automatic.

  • Disable DHCP on WRTU54G behind WRT54G, impossible to get the blue light

    I spent several hours today trying to set up my second router (WRTU54G) behind the first router (WRT54G) with the DHCP offshore on the second router, but blue light don't come. My first router is connected to the modem. There is nothing wrong with the phone service, it works with a LAN WAN Setup on my routers and the blue light comes on. But I'm trying to get everything on my network to answer and turn on sharing, so I'll try the config LAN to LAN on the two routers with DHCP disabled on the second. No blue on light. I also tried the Bridge mode on the second router but that did not work. By browsing these forums, I opened the ports 5060-5061 and 16384-16482 on my first router but I don't know what IP address to assign them. What I'm trying to do is to use my router second, WRTU54G of VOIP, like a switch, but also use it for telephone service. I know that I can just swap the routers and that should work, but y at - it another way?

    Thanks for the reply, but that has not worked for me. But I finally got to work now, after some more googling and play with the settings. I have stuck on the 'Bridge' on the WRTU54G mode but kept the connection between the two routers on LAN to WAN connection. This didn't work at first but after only 20 minutes to leave and the blue light came all my computers are on DHCP IPs the first router too.
