| Server problem
I am not sure if i have posted it in the right spot, if I haven't I apologize ahead of time. I have an Apache server and a Dynamic DNS program running from a windows xp home SPK2 machine. I have a windstream 4200 modem connected to a netgear wireless router, my server is connected directly to the router and my modem is connected to my wan port in the router, anytime i type the webpage in from inside the network all I get is the modem setup page and when I type the webpage into a browser outside the network all I get is that it can't be found. Any and all helo is apprecited. And again if I have posted this in the wrong spot or on the wrong website I appologise. |

| If this is a new 4200 speedstream, it has the new WS firmware with the "Walled Garder setup software built into the router. Unplug everything, and leave the 4200 plugged into the computer, if you are using windows 2000, xp, or vista, launch Internet Explorer, the setup screen will automatically appear, follow the setup process, (there is no way around it), then the modem will be set up in router mode, and you will have internet access. If you dont want the 4200 a s a router, then after the setup process, log into the modem -192.168.254.254 admin/admin then put it into bridge mode. If youare using a MAC then the service desk will have to manually set up youre account. |

| If you are on a MAC using safari, go into the the preferences, turn on the develop menu, exit preferences. Go to the develop menu on the menu bar and under user agent select Internet Explorer 7 for windows. now you can complete the setup as though you were on a windows machine, no CSR needed. When you are done set the user agent back to default and turn the develop menu off. |

Charlotte, NC | when you set the modem into bridge mode, you must enter your login info into your router and put your router in pppoe mode. |

It's normal to be unable to see your webpage and see the modem page instead when you're inside your own network. If you want to check your webpage from home, you can use one of the anonymous proxy servers like »anonymouse.org
Don't forget to do port forwarding on port 80 (the usual http port) for your modem and/or your router. |

Ya.
0/35 is the VPI\VCI numbers that Windstream uses.
Also the reason your seeing your modem is because the 4200 dosent support loopback.
Anyone know this was in there magical modem & router?

Actually, I believe that might have been what I did wrong Tragedy, when I first set my modem up in bridge mode it was set to 32 which I thought was odd since the other setting was 35, but since I'm new to this I assumed that this was the right setting. But when I get home this evening I'll try it again. Thnks |

Even with me manually setting it up as a bridge it didn't do to well, but you can do this:
»192.168.254.254/brgmode.htm.
to place the modem in bridge mode. Here is where I found it:
»windstream.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/···opview=1
then you need to put these in as the DNS:
* Static DNS 1: 166.102.165.13
* Static DNS 2: 207.91.5.20
this was found here:
»windstream.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/···opview=1
though its for a linksys router I am using it for a netgear router. but any way I thought I'd let you all know and give the info encase someone else needed it. Thanks for the help. |

hey bro, I know for a fact that when you set it to bridge, there is a value that you have to change!!! I know the default is 32 & you need to change it to 35. As soon as you select bridge, I belive it's the next screen you come to. I can't remeber exactly, and the online manual
S U C K S!!!!! it doesn't tell you what you need to do. like I said it needs to change from 32 to 35. Call this number, this is the tech support that helped me, and it's here in the US> 1-866-990-3282...good luck bro |

If you go through the bridge mode that way, no change is needed. Only if you create a new device connect on the modem do you need to change those numbers. It is currently set to 35 under the default setup and the default setup is dual mode.
Are you getting a connection/IP with the router doing the PPPoE? The netgear still needs to be setup to fwd http service to your XP Apache box. This is normally under a rules section of the netgear. Forward port TCP 80 to the internal IP of your XP IP. Normally you do not need to enter DNS info in bridged mode. You just enable require user/paswd log in, PPPoE, obtain DHCP/DNS from provider.

Tragedy I am posting from the machine and I did the steps that I posted above, but what works for me may not for you. Machines can be Fickle. I live in the southeast USA, I'm not sure where you might be located Tragedy, but if you want you can try what I did, but thats up to you. redblkjck I set all of port forwarding and user name and pass. up on it and it still didn't work, it wasn't until I got going through their knowledgebase (its good to live near people who don't secure their wireless connection) that I found where on a Linksys router you had to use specific DNS values, and once I set that up the whole setup started working fine, and once I did a little more configuring, I am now able to view my test page from out side the network. The weird thing is when I connect wireless to my own router I am able to pull the web page inside my network. And yes, I check the connection and even restarted my laptop to make sure I wasn't still connected to the other network to make sure on this. Well, Thanks for all the help. |

Well if it is working then no need to really mess with it. If you have problems off and on, start looking at what the router status page says vs. your pc/notebook. If from the box running apache you were bouncing from AP to AP, your pc may have never pulled correct DHCP/DNS info. If there are dual connections in use (wireless and wired) sometimes the PC will delay before picking up the working connection. (default internet connection settings). My netgear has two locations to control DNS entries, one on the general setup (PPPoE, username, IP, etc) and also under LAN setup for DHCP server / DNS Proxy. If the NetGear is setup correctly, it will pull DNS from the PPPoE connection automatic. Some routers can run in proxy, so your wireless client only picks up the router gateway IP for the DNS (default setting netgear). When not in proxy, the client will report the true DNS IP. You can force your PC to update the info obtained from DHCP from cmd line prompt. IPCONFIG /RENEW | IPCONFIG /ALL will show the current status info.
If you were dropping your IP/Router connection often, your dynamic dns would need a few minutes to pick up the change. Dynamic clients that run on a PC behind a router don't pick up the IP change right away, free clients can restrict how often this info is updated also. Ping your dyndns name to make sure your dyndns name and router have the same IP. The netgear router probably has a dyndns client installed, sometimes these can hang though. Especially if the connection is dropping off and on. DynDNS had something in the their FAQ on why PC client is better to use. I don't like them because it doesn't pick up the change right away.
Accessing the HTTP server on LAN using the dyndns name works on some NAT routers no problem. My NetGear handles the request no problems. If you don't like the DNS redirect from WindStream DNS, change your DNS to match this post. »Re: [Troubles] regarding windstream dns |
