Any Help would be Appreciated. and sorry about the length.
After NTL's latest upgrade my router (a belkin) gave up the ghost and refused to accept any communication from my wireless network or from anything connected to it by ethernet.
The cable modem also would not connect to the NTL server despite frequent rebootings. even when connected directly to a PC.
My network of one Pc Connected to the router via ethernet and two via wireless has been pretty stable for the last year and when the internet connection crashed resetting the modem would restore service.
After borrowing a brand new linksys router there is still a similar problem in that pc's conected with ethernet can access the internet but wireless connections cannot.
Information on my systems
1. The specific issue is that my wireless connection cannot share the NTL connection
1a. There is no time this is prevalent.
1b. As of posting this has been happening for a week
2. I dont have cable TV
3. I have contacted tech support. Who say they dont support routers or home networking. they also would not tell me the host and domain names for NTL which linksys say may be needed for cable modems.
4. I've tried the following, saving and reseting after each.
i. Cloning my mac address to that of my ethernet card
ii. setting a static IP address
iii. Changing the channel the wireless devices operate on
iv. Adding a network key
v. changing my networks name from the standard one
vi. setting my router to only accept authenticated MAC addresses (from my network), also making sure the router was set to mixed mode.
vii. Disabling my firewall.
viii. seting up my linksys router via http://192.168.1.1
None of these has had any effect and only the wired connection can access the internet.
5a. Im in marlow, Buckinghamshire and the server that i connect to is in winnersh. DNS 194.168.8.100
IP Mod Edit (Matt D) - IP address removed
b. on the wired computer the o/s is windows XP professional on the two wireless PC's one has windows XP professional and the other has windowsXP home.
C. My network setup is as follows.
NTL HOME 200 cable modem connected via ethernet to
Linksys WRT54GS broadband router
one pc connected to port 2 of router
two pc's using wireless USB Devices. linksys WUSB22 v2.6
d. this problem is occuring on both of the wireless PCs
e. All computers are running sygate personal firewall which was disabled prior to the attempts at troubleshooting.
