If you can help i thank you in advance
Desperate for connectivity in Iraq

[johnwill]

Did you turn off the modem after changing the connected device? Try turning off the modem and the router, then restarting the modem first, followed in a minute or two by the router.

[SGTDizl]

i really only have acess to the router, the wireless modem is in another room which i cant ge into, I heard there may be something locking it out and only accepting the wireless modem, sounds wierd to me though....i know they dont want us to plug directly in, could they have blocked it somehow? when i try should my wireless card be off as well, maybe some sort of override? i will try the power thing again though

[johnwill]

It's quite possible there's something going on there.

You might try cloning your computers MAC address into the router.

What's the EXACT make/model of the router?

Can you post the following information plugged directly into the incoming Internet feed that works?


Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

I hope this helps ---we all thank you in advance for your help

Desperate for some internet in Iraq

[johnwill]

You need a router, not a switch. You have a connection that only allows a single device to connect to it, hence the 255.255.255.255 subnet mask.

Plug that main line directly into a broadband router and I think you'll have better results.

[SGTDizl]

so...what i need to do is buy a router, plug the line in it from outside (which provides the internet) run 2 seperate lines to my room and the 3rd line back into the switch which in turn goes to the wireless transmitter in turn proviing internet to another 30 or so people. I hope i understand correctly. will this effect the others internet once i bu and install my new router??

Thnsk you so much ofr your expertise

[johnwill]

Let me get this right. There is a wireless "transmitter" that is allowing 30 people to connect? If so, that's got to be a router, because what you're seeing with a direct connection will allow exactly one connection.

What's the exact make/model of that "transmitter"?

[SGTDizl]

yes i believe it is a router, so the line come in from the outside, into a switch then to a wireless router which allows us all to connect. is there a way i can get a hard line from the switch? can i put my own 3 port router in front og their router? what will that do to the othees connecting throught the wireless router?

[SGTDizl]

also keep in mind this is their "network" it is supposed to have been fixed a while ago, but labor in iraq is hard to come by sometimes i guess

[johnwill]

I suspect trying to tap in before the wireless router will kill all the other connections, but it's hard to know without really knowing what's behind the curtain. Without knowing what kind of network is coming into the router, it's just a guess.

Can you post a screen shot of the WAN configuration page of that wireless router?

[SGTDizl]

how do i post that info, i will put ti up ASAP. I was hoping it would still allow the switch to work also. I will try t find the wireless modem that actually sending signal and give you the info on it
thank you
