Home networking, help.

sir boybi, wag muna ipalit. lipat mo lang yung blue cable coming from your modem router to one of the LAN ports of your Linksys router. but to do this, make sure to change the IP address of your router via Setup Page. then in the command prompt (one with the DOS prompt) reset your connection by using ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew. why do this, you are assigning new external IP address to your linksys router. the new IP address should be, for example the IP address of your modem router is 192.168.1.1 then the linksys router should be 192.168.1.2 or anything other than the address of your modem-router.

using this process, you are now using the linksys as switch / wireless access point mode. all network administration should be done on the modem-router.

[boybi]

ang problema, dapat enabled ang DHCP sa modem-router para gumana as access point yung wireless router di ba? pero kapag enabled ang DHCP sa modem-router, ayaw ng magconnect.

[ian_rex]

not so sure sir. pero last time na nagsetup ako sa globelines broadband, ang ginawa namin is to use the linksys as switch mode na lang by connecting the wire coming from modem-router to the LAN port of the linksys router. kasi wala naman akong ginalaw nun sa modem router, puro dun sa linksys lang. if all else fail, you can ask a tech support sa linksys. they're good actually and free. sensya na sir, hirap kasi i-visualize yung setup ng connection nyo.

[boybi]

naayos ko na yung wireless router, thanks to mikmik316!!! ka YM ko habang inaayos yung router.

dapat pala i-set ko as router yung linksys and not as gateway. di ko napansin ito.

pero bakit kaya yung IP na na-assign sa mga PC ko hindi na yung 192.168.x.x? ang na-assign is yung galing mismo sa PLDT. pero magkaiba yung last set of numbers for the 2 PC.

[ian_rex]

siguro dahil ginawa ang gumanaganang router ay yung sa modem-router? sir if i may ask, saan ba nagwo-work si mikmik? pwede ko rin bang makuha yung YM address nya?

Ok iyan si sir mikmik316, tinulungan din ako niyan nang nagkaproblem ako sa desktop ko ,di na kami nakapag YM dahil naayos na agad ginamit na lang namin PM function ng tsikot..hindi lang pang IT sia,pati pang Boxing pa hehehe

[boybi]

PM mo nalang sya, on line sya now.

ang bagong problema ko ngayon, hindi ma-access mga shared folders ko across the network. dahil kaya hindi na 192.168.x.x ang IP ng mga PCs ko?

[ian_rex]

not sure. baka kelangang i-set ulit yung Home Networking? para magkita-kita mga pc?

[boybi]

ni-run ko na yung networking wizard. lumabas naman sa workgroup computers yung 2 PCs, pero kapag i-double click ko yung other PC, inaccessible daw.

[boybi]

kita ko na problem why hindi ko ma-access yung mga shared folders sa network, it is because of the IP addresses assigned to my PCs which were assigned by PLDT and not the router. naka-disable kasi yung DHCP sa router. i can't connect to the internet if i enable DHCP.

if i disable the firewall, or i include the IP in the trusted zone, i will be able to access shared forlders. but if i include the PLDT IP in the trusted zone, won't this also open my network to other PLDT DSL users?

[mikmik316]

sa tingin ko sir ask PLDT bakit ganun yung router nila??? Kasi theoretically you get 1 IP from PLDT then all your computers will access that 1 IP from PLDT... and to segregate your WAN connection (Internet) from your LAN connection (Intranet) then there should be two sets of IP.... One IP from PLDT that may be DHCP/dynamically assigned or Static IP... your Intranet in turn can also have DHCP or Static IP... mejo pangit yata yung PLDT provided router???? or baka iba lang ang naming conventions ng set-up???

[boybi]

grabe, sakit na ng ulo ko dito. kung anu-ano ng ginagawa kong pag mix and match sa mga settings, hindi ko talaga maayos.

[boybi]

hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin maikabit ang wireless router ko

[GmZ]

SEr, ano model nung router na galing sa PLDT? Modem router ata yan eh. Kung ako sa'yo, tawag ka sa PLDT tanong mo kung pede bypass yung modem-router nila. Useless yung router nyo ser kapag PLDT parin IP address na nakukuha nyo. ano ym mo? pm mo sakin :D maybe I can help :D

[boybi]

PL-DSL1 po ang modem-router ko.

[ian_rex]

sir boybi, ask ko lang. naka-enable ba yung DMZ nang wireless router mo? i think pwede pa rin gamitin yung linksys mo unless you want it to be in 'switch' mode.

anyways, who among here uses SmartBro and Linksys WRT54G wireless setup? is it that hard to set up? kasi parang na-trauma ako nung nag-setup ako nang Linksys WRT54G sa globelines. unlike when i installed my Netgear wireless router. wala pang 5 minutes, ok na. i'm thinking of getting a WiFi G router to complement my WiFi B router.

[boybi]

should i turn on the DMZ? para saan ba ang DMZ?

[Horsepower]

DeMilitarized Zone, some sites are barred.

have u tried connecting to the WAN via PPTP?

[boybi]

what's PPTP?

[GmZ]

should i turn on the DMZ? para saan ba ang DMZ?

Hmm, as far as I can remember when you enable DMZ and give your public IP to others, they can control or access your router. Ginawa ko na to before when I was still a TSR for DLink. =) Not sure if I can access the files in the computer though. Ser Boybi, if meron ka kilala and mapagkakatiwalaan try mo pagamit yung DMZ feature ng router mo. Dali lang yon.
