How stupid is that...two Internet connections when my bandwidth is unlimited and I have WiFi....yay.

And I can't believe that just us two are posting here. Just great...

AND NOW THIS! That's it! When I'm finished with work this weekend, I am calling Bell. Tired of losing my time.

What I will try, is disconnect my Nintendo USB key and see if that's the third-party router or if it is my roommate LinkSys adapter.

P.S.: My Internet is very very slow now compared to before, as shown in these tests:

The only problem we encountered so far, was that once a web browser had been opened, the page which appeared was one of the 2Wire saying that a third-party router had been spotted. Asking if we wanted to keep it working behind the other router or resolve the problem. We clicked resolve and what it did, was put the hosting computer (mine) in DMZ mode, basically opening all ports. I switched it back to Maximum protection on all consoles and computers, and asked my roommate to not click 'resolve' next time.

Have any clue how to come around this problem? My Nintendo USB key (since Nintendo DS Lite only accepts WEP), has been spotted as a router but it has been linked to my modem during the installation. Don't know if it can be called a 'bridge' or not but it seems fine the way it was set up.

Thanks a great deal for your help so far. I'm scrapping all my days off for this...it's driving me crazy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23223630 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:05:55 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23221636 It can help you find the problem

Both mine and my roommate computers are appearing as being inactive on the main page of my modem interface. Still, I have access to Internet.

Just did some tests on my roommate computer which just got Internet back, and the diagnostics console within WinXP, tells me that FTP would be the problem and most probably, block by firewalls.

How would I enable this on both our firewalls, plus my modem internal firewall? Is it a good idea to do it?

Also, doing a ping test on his computer, he sends out 100 packets but receives only about 86. He loses 14% instead of 100% like yesterday. His Jitter is really high at 121 ms and his ping is also high at 61.

When I look at both our computers results, it seems we are using the same IP address. Is it because I am sharing my Internet access with him?

As for my Wii,

Error Code: 52231
There appears to be an issue with your wireless router's firewall.

To ensure wireless interference is not causing the problem, click here to review our "Slow Downloads or Errors Received While Connecting" help.
It is possible that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is not compatible with the Wii console. For instance, if you need to login with a user name and password when you try to go online for the first time after restrarting your PC, your ISP is likely not compatible. Please contact your service provider for more information.
If this error occurs regularly, while you are playing at home, it is likely a connection problem related to your firewall settings. For more information on firewalls, click here.
Comcast users, please click here to view the Wireless Routers with Comcast-branded firmware which we have identified as being potentially incompatible with the Wii console.

Are you using a Netgear brand wireless router? Our expeirence shows disabling the "SPI Firewall" of the router may help the connection. The "SPI Firewall" option is typically found under the "WAN Setup" tab of the router's settings. For information on accessing your router's settings, please click here and select the model of the Netgear router you own (if available).
If you are still receiving this error code, please click here for assistance.

As you can see, every single problem is aiming at firewalls. Maybe we need to focus on that.

By the way, I'll be updating my firmware to the latest from 2Wire, seeing that Bell sent me a new one. I won't care if this one gets burnt :p.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23216300 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:16:58 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23216189

I guess that might be one of the sources for all these problems. Maybe it's the network connection settings. I really do not know. I have tried so many things, Yet, as of now, I have Maximum Protection enabled, my Windows XP antivirus enabled and all of AVG's features enabled as well.

As I said, every MAC address are entered but my Nintendo USB key, my roommate DSlink adapter, both are not entered in the 'Application support', at least not that I am aware of.

Yes you are correct, every device has its own connection to the local network (2wire)
If a wireless or ethernet link is down the device will not be able to access anything in the network including the internet

The internet connection can be up ready to use, any device that has its ethernet/wireless connection down will not be able to access the internet]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213907 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:29:56 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213796 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213796 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:10:31 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213782 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213782 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:07:32 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23213680 said by DeadlyKnight:

No I am not sure that his or my computer his not powering down whatever network adapter you are talking about.
When you connect a ethernet cable to a device the port you connect the cable to can be called a network adapter, nic, ethernet port, windows can power down the network adapter
said by DeadlyKnight:

In the 'Edit address allocation' settings, I am only allowed to assign one from the 63 'Private fixed' address OR the single 'Private from pool' address.
The private fixed address is ok, I just was not sure about what you were doing

Its always better to "Allow individual application(s)" for games and servers, I think you made the right choice

I don't think there is a problem with the dsl or the modem, with the info you posted the modem has not run long enough

I think you should give it some time keep an eye on this page

Re: Some issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G

Hi,

I have sent an exchange modem out because you might have an issue with the modem firmware. Because we don't have any issue reported in your area that could effect the line performance to dropped the connection.

I am pretty pretty sure he did not read the entire thread and as I am well aware of the competence of most Bell technicians. It's always the easy solution to blame the modem, which I only had for a year now. The other one before that got fried for an unknown reason after a year of usage. I know that I don't go easy on it by downloading about 250~300GB of data per month but still.

ANYWAY, praises to this lightning fast shipping from them. Got an answer at 17:32 yesterday, was probably too late to get the modem sent on the same day but still, I got my modem today. Well, I don't have it since I wasn't home, but I'll have it tomorrow.

Do you think it will solve the problem? I didn't update the firmware even though I know how and where to go. It's like overclocking, I'm too scared to mess with those.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23212678 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:52:20 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23212622
In the 'Edit address allocation' settings, I am only allowed to assign one from the 63 'Private fixed' address OR the single 'Private from pool' address. My 'Wan IP mapping' can only be set at default 'Router Wan IP address (default)'.

By the way, all the consoles and computers are checked for 'Application protection' which is set at ' Maximum protection – Disallow unsolicited inbound traffic.' I do not want to enable 'Allow all applications (DMZplus mode)'. As for 'Allow individual application(s)', it's mostly good for games if I am right.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23212622 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:43:33 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208651 said by DeadlyKnight:

It never prompts for the encryption key. It finds the access point, connects to the Internet wirelessly (through his linksys adapter), and then after X minutes, hours, it loses the access point.
Are you sure the computer is not powering down the network adapter that's connected to the linksys adapter
said by DeadlyKnight:

As for the IP's...I did assign them within the range of the 2wire's dhcp pool.
Doing that can sometimes cause problems
The page where you found that dhcp info suggests that the 2wire has static private ip address pool, on that page there can be a dhcp range section listing the lowest and highest dhcp ip address

I would assign any computer that has a server or is used for games a ip address that is not a part of the dhcp range

The dhcp lease time is ok]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208651 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:33:51 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208539
As for the IP's...I did assign them within the range of the 2wire's dhcp pool.

DHCP Range: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I did assign a private address to each console and computer like I stated before.
Make sure the private ip's are not a part of the 2wire's dhcp pool/range of ip's
said by DeadlyKnight:

except for my roomate computer which is losing the access point every now and then.
When that happens does the computer prompt for the encryption key or is it acquiring a ip address]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208474 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:56:43 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208417
I just woke up and everything still works fine, except for my roomate computer which is losing the access point every now and then. Internet for him is also very slow. When I did a packet loss test, he loses 92% of the data. He can give but not receive properly.

Which setting(s) could affect that?

I'll be away for several hours, leaving you plenty of time to seek and formulate ^^.

There is a nice spread between the sync rate 7040kbps and the max sync rate 11000kbps

The dsl looks good judging by the info posted

The issues with the ethernet and wireless are local to you
You need to find out if the wireless problem is a dhcp issue or a encryption issue

The ethernet issue may be a dhcp problem specifying a private ip address may be a solution]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208383 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:39:30 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23208217

Using this website:
»www.psc.edu/networking/projects/tcptune

and this software:
SG TCP optimizer

and a bit of editing the registry...
and going through the 'Address allocation' of my modem and assigning each console and computer a different private fixed IP address...for example 192.168.2.45...
turning my firewall back on...
etc...

I think I have cleared the problem with the packet loss issue and maybe, just maybe some other issues with my modem and connections.

I have also changed my BDP to 190000. To come up with this number, I used my latency which its highest was around 107 and my broadband advertised download speed of 10Mbps. Am I correct to assume that 190 000 is the right number? It used to be around 55 000...

To get these tests to work, I had to uncheck 'Block Ping' from my modem 'Application controls'

»/linequality/nil/2577280
»/tweakr/block:···nXPpppoe

I have now put those options back on. In the next following days, my roommate and I will see if we lose connection over any of our computers and console.

Now, my roommate has been able to connect his PS3. His MAC address had mysteriously deleted itself from my allowed ones.

As for Application Control through the 2wire modem interface, I have restored defaults to 'Maximum protection – Disallow unsolicited inbound traffic' which got set on every console and computers. Under security, I unchecked those three to see if I would then be 'pingable'. Failure so I put them back on.

Security
Check to enable the features below:
Stealth Mode
Block Ping
Strict UDP Session Control

In the Inbound and Outbound controls, everything is checked except NetBios.

Inbound and Outbound Control

Checking the box allows the associated traffic type through the Application Support.
Outbound
HTTP
HTTPS
FTP
Telnet
SMTP
DNS
NetBIOS
POP3
IMAP
NNTP
IRC
H323
All Other Protocols

Inbound
NetBIOS

As for the attack detections, everything is checked.

Attack Detection
Check to detect the types of attacks below:
Excessive Session Detection
TCP/UDP Port Scan
Invalid Source/Destination IP address
Packet Flood (SYN/UDP/ICMP/Other)
Invalid TCP Flag Attacks (NULL/XMAS/Other)
Invalid ICMP Detection
Miscellaneous

That's about everything that I can manage to give you guys without proper guidelines for now. My computer seems to still be connected to the Internet. However, my roommate is still constantly losing his connection, whether it be 5 hours after he has established it, or 5 minutes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23205138 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 23:55:28 EDT Re: Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23203364
Looks like you need to focus on the dsl issues
The first diagnostics you posted the modem can't find a dsl signal

The second diagnostics is just as bad no atm circuit

Both issues point to your dsl provider

You should connect the modem to the demark/nid the no dsl signal could be caused by the inside wiring
The no atm circuit is a isp problem nothing on your end of things can cause that]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23203364 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:28:36 EDT Issues with 2Wire 2701HG-G http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23203279
With great hopes that someone out there will be able to clear these several issues I am having with my connection, here are my problems.

First of,here are the results from my diagnostics in 2Wire 2701HG-G Gateway modem:

DSL Synchronization: No DSL signal was found
G.DMT Signal: No DSL signal was found
PVC Connection: -
PPPoE Service: -
PPP Authentication: -
IP Connection: -
DNS Communication: -

However, these goes up here and now. I was not having any problems until just now with my own computer, which is linked by Ethernet to the modem. Having said that, my roommate which is wirelessly connected to my modem through a DLink adapter, is constantly losing his connection either on Internet or on his Nintendo DS. Our Nintendo DS are connected through my Nintendo USB connector and both are also dropping (had to use that since the DS light does not accept anything else than WEP). As for my Nintendo Wii, same problem. As for the PS3 and PSP, both will connect to the access point just like any other systems we are using but just won't connect to the Internet, or does, and soon after loses the connection.

I really am lost here. I have tried many things and my ISP nor Sony is being helpful here. Telling me stuff I knew years ago which really does not solve anything. I know where the control panel is for crying out loud -_-'. Every troubleshooting guide I have been through have proved to be total failures.

Anyway, hopefully there are some professionals in here which will guide me to the exact solution.

More info:

-WPA2-PSK with a passphrase.
-Added all the MAC addresses there was to be added.
-Disabled both mine and his firewall.
-AVG Anti-virus on both computers.
-Network adapters: Nintendo WI-FI USB connector/1394 Net adapter/NVIDIA nForce Networking controller

Any other information, please do ask. I shall be back in a couple of hours if my modem allows it.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
D-K

P.S.: I did some diagnostics again:

DSL Synchronization: UP
G.DMT Signal: UP
PVC Connection: Could not find an ATM circuit
PPPoE Service: -
PPP Authentication: -
IP Connection: An Internet address could not be obtained
DNS Communication: Unable to contact the Domain Name Server ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Issues-with-2Wire-2701HGG-23203279 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:09:05 EDT
