Unable to connect with Wireless Router
| Posted by Cissell, 06-12-2007, 05:07 PM |
| I have not been able to connect to my server via browser, ftp or email since my server had a OS reload & security package installed.
If I disconnect and remove my wireless router I can access the server directly from the modem. When the Linksys WRT54G is connected I can go anywhere on the net with no problems, except my server.
Is there something they might have done at the server to block wireless router access?? I get a timed out message when I ping any of the IP's on the server with the wireless router connected.
Linksys has been of no help and I have talked with Clearwire who owns my modem.

| You need to find out exactly how this has been configured.

| Not to ask the obvious, but have you tried to reset the router back to the factory default settings?
There should be a little pin hole on the back that push in for 5-10 seconds, then reconfigure it.

| That's very strange.
Do you know if you get the same IP address from your ISP when using the wireless router, as you do without?

| Have your providers/host blocked your Routers IP range, maybe the security package has caused a broadcast of some type and your providers/host blocked it as a potential risk?

| Have you tried to access it using a domain or ip address?
It could be a DNS issue

| Using IP didn't solve problem.....when I did a tracrert it would still time out.
I replaced the router and all is well again.....wish I knew what caused this.
