Good day to all. For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to set up one of my computers as a server with no luck. I installed WWW File Share Pro but no luck. Last night I connected the modem Westell 6100 directly to the computer and it works. What I need to know is how can I get this to work when I hook the modem up to my router which is a Linksys WRT54G.\n\nThanks is advance

Let's take this one step at a time starting with the Modem/Router issue.  When you connect the modem to the router you are using an RJ45 connection?  This should allow the router to connect to your ISP.\n\nNext you should be connecting your computer to the router, either wired or wireless.  I would start out wired with another RJ45 connection.\n\nYou said "I have been trying to set up one of my computers as a server"; what did you want this computer to do as a server?  Is this suppose to provide your intranet with IP information, DNS, sign on authentication, or are you planning it to host your web set to the world?  Each of these is a different function and do not effect your connecting the router and modem to the Internet.

I'm thinkin your dsl modem needs to be reregistered with your server. Are you getting a "cannot find server" error?\nYou might try reseting your account. Go through the account setup software again.

Can you still connect to the router (usualy on 192.168.1.1) ?\n\nIf you do, look if the modem is on.

sorry, but you did it the wrong way. to share a printer you need a router with a 4 port switch and an integrated print server. this has the advantage of simultaneous use of the same internet connection from both PCs. furthermore it's not necessary to have both computers running for printing.\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=272&rid=821&sec=0\nthis router is also available in a wireless version\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=460&rid=1766&sec=0\nCaution: check if the print server is compatible with your printer! you will find a list of compatible printers on the given links.\n\nhow to install:\nconnect the modem with the WAN port of the router\nconnect the PCs to any port of the 4 port switch of the router (RJ45-RJ45 cable, regular)\nconnect the printer to the USB port of the router\n\nshared printer setup\ngo to control panel and delete the current printer settings\nsetup a new printer and configure it for "shared printing". do that on both PCs.\nfor printing only you don't have to enable file sharing, though it's necessary if you want to copy files from one PC to the other.

First off we need to know what kind of router you are working with.  Please provide the model and make, along with the kind of internet service you have.  Also what operating system you are on would be helpful - Windows XP, Mac OS X, etc.  \n\nThe first thing do when you hook up a router to your DSL/Cable Modem is to turn all the equipment off.\n\nPower down the computer, the DSL/Cable Modem and your router.  Its best to physically remove the power cables from the modem and the router to ensure that electricity is not keeping any memory chips alive.  Make sure you plug the ethernet cable from the DSL/Cable modem into the routers WAN/internet port.  Then make sure your computer's ethernet port is plugged into one of the routers LAN ethernet ports, they are usually 4 ports right in a row on the back of the computer.  This should fix any problems with hooking up the cables physically, and now it up to your network settings on your computer.  In order to help, please provide the information I asked for at the top of this message. \n\nThanks!

Does your DSL router have a pair of antenna?\n\nThe "blue cord" is called a network cable.  It can run from the back of your router to your e-machine.  You e-machine should have a connection for it.  This will let you get on the Internet without being wireless for now.\n\nWhat brand of Westell is it?  that will help determine what you need to do to enable wireless if it can handle wireless connections.

Thank you for posting again\n\n\nDownload and update the firmware\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Download_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115417109974&packedargs=sku%3D1115416826220&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\n\nIt will be a random .bin file\nTo update your router with it download this program\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/6254;3f97cb0350a1fab991decb0d1e0e2e20/TFTP.zip\n\n\nIt's pretty straight forward.\n\n\nThe last step is just forward the port you want open for the game you want to play\n\nClick this link to see a list of games and how to foward your port\nhttp://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/BEFW11S4/BEFW11S4index.htm\n\n\n\nFor bit torrent it will depend on the client you use but it;'s the same process\n\nTo use bit torrent you need to download a client like azureus or bitcomet\nhttp://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php\nhttp://www.bittorrent.com/\nhttp://www.bitcomet.com/\nhttp://www.utorrent.com/\n\n\nBit Torrent in Order of Popularity:\nhttp://www.thepiratebay.org/\nhttp://www.torrentspy.com/\nhttp://www.mininova.org/\nhttp://isohunt.com/\nhttp://www.torrentbox.com/torrents-browse.php?news\nhttp://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/\nhttp://www.torrentreactor.to/\n\n\n\nThe game itself should tell you in the manual what port it needs open for online play. If it doesnt check in official or fan forums from fellow gamers. Have fun.

I am not a Mac person, but I don't think that matters in this case. I assume you've got your DSL modem connected to the wall jack, and your 2 port router connected to the DSL modem. Can you connect to the internet if you connect your pc or Mac directly to the DSL modem? If this works and connecting through the router *doesn't* work, there are a few things to check. It could be an issue of the ISP knowing the MAC address of your pc and of your Mac, but it doesn't recognize the MAC address of the router. In the router configuration, probably under advanced settings, there should be an option for "cloning" a Mac address. If one or the other of your machines can connect to the internet when connected directly to the modem, it is the MAC address of *that* machine that you'll want to clone. To get the MAC address on a Windows box, click Start -> Run and type "cmd" to get to a command prompt. Then type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes, of course). Copy down the "Physical Address" of your network card. Then enter this as the "cloned" MAC address on your router. It may be necessary to do a soft reset of the router at that point. Once it comes back up, the ISP's network will think that your router is in fact your PC, and everything should work just fine. At that point, you should be able to connect both computers to the router and all should be well. If not, while you have both computers connected to the router, see what IP address each has. If neither has an IP address (they should have private IP addresses, something like 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x), then in your router settings, you'll want to enable DHCP. If however, your router does not offer DHCP, then you'll need to do something like get an old PC (seriously...something like a 400Mhz will do just fine), install a 2nd ethernet card, and then install Smoothwall or IPCop on it. These will handle the DHCP stuff for you (in addition to providing you with an excellent perimeter firewall). In this case, your setup will go from wall to DSL modem to Smoothwall/IPCop box to router.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

The Linksys WRT54GS is a wireless (802.11G) router so your friend is probably connected wirelessly using a wireless (802.11G or 802.11B) card.\n\nFix your problem:\n1) Turn off both computers, the router, and the modem.\n2) Connect the modem to the Internet/WAN port on the back of the router using an Ethernet cable.\n3) Connect at least one computer to the remaining Ethernet ports on the back of the router using an Ethernet cable.\n4) Turn on modem.\n5) Turn on router.\n6) Turn on computer.\n7) If you want, configure the router by opening a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox and goto "http://192.168.1.1" and enter the username and password supplied in the manual.  If you haven't configured the router before, the username and password should both be "admin".\n8) Surf the Internet.  Enjoy!\n\nOnce you have everything connected and you know at least one computer can see the Internet, you can configure the router and any remaining computers to use the wireless capabilities of the router.

Your network setup wasn't mentioned... I assume your website is being accessed from a server in your network behind a router?\n\nVerify if any new hardware was added.  If you have a "double NAT", that is if you have 2 routers in your network, or your modem has a NAT firewall, and you've added, like let's say a router - this may prevent a computer within the same network from getting to the web-server.\n\nPerhaps some new security software was added, or access restrictions have been changed?

seeing that you computer is so old\nyou may run into some problems..\nbut my answer is\ngo to your local CompUSA and ask a TECH to help you get the cables and router needed and ask them how to set it up..\nthey WILL tell and even draw you a diagram if needed.\nand when you get home..you still have trouble..all you have to do is call them on the telephone and they will walk you through it..right then and there..\nso that is what I would tell even a family member to do...\nGood Luck\nand God Bless\nSMILE...you will need to SMILE......

To avoid some problems that may or may not exist with your connection, we'll use the port 81 instead. Now, forward port 81 to your pc from your router/modem. Then go into Control Panel > Network Connections > Your LAN Adaptor's properties, and make sure Windows' Firewall is allowing 'WWW File Share Pro' to access the internet.

Did you change the NIC? Or is this a new computer?\nCan you ping the modem?\nIf you change out the NIC, they are only $10-15, you may get an easy answer.\nIt could also be the driver for the NIC.\nChanged cable modem?? Why, was the old one bad?\nAre the settings in the modem correct?

what type of modem do you have? are you using a router? make sure you sequence power cycle modem first then router and pc if you do have. if still not then isolate router and plug modem directly to pc- , and you  have speed stream 5100b or 4100 ( 5 LEDS) then open a browser (IE) type 192.168.0.1 - \nif you can't pull it up, disable any firewall or anti virus or check LAN making sure it's enabled\nit should open sbc effiecient network- \nif you have internet light on your modem - then it means your modem might be saing default username and password- if no internet light- do the following for wither of the 2 situation: \nclick advance button on the left- then connection configuration - usually it will be asking for the modem access code- then type the correct username and password- click restart and ideally it should connect you to the internet- \n\nif still not- try disabling any firewall or anti virus\n\nif still not- there could be an outage and you may have to call \n1-877-722 3755 - it's toll free\nbecause you might be having a 2 wire modem/ router and it's another story- lol
