My WIBNI is a feature to specify DHCP leasing time.

As many people see, we have some difficulty to get IP
by DHCP from time to time. My wife (Win98) logins Linky
not everyday. She complains when she cannot get IP. (I
know "ipconfig /renew" resolves the situation, but.)
Long DHCP lease time will ease the situation.

I could just hook my computers to a HUB and Uplink the Hub to both routers but that defeats the Router Capabilities and Port Isolation.

I want a way to configure the Routers so that I can forward the traffic (ie: Have the ports map as 192.168.X.Y so that 192.168.1.1 will send not only 192.168.1.5 traffic to the computer that has connected to it as 192.168.1.5 but also all traffic for 192.168.X.5 [X=0-255]).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Single-NIC-MultiHome-support-WMultiple-Routers-1083178 Fri, 06 Jul 2001 17:42:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-1083109 said by Kabanos:

Also, put all the tabs for different settings visible from the main page...vs. the "Advanced" tab. I'm no expert, but the advanced settings don't seem that "advanced" to me.

Lastly, put a notice on the port forwarding section for newbies that just forwarding ports in the Linky may not fully solve their problem, they may have to also pass ports thru their modem (especially if it's a Cisco 67x) if it does NAT as well. (also on DMZ page)

This has been asked many times... and is my worst problem with the befsr41! Fix the "loss of connectivity" to the HTML Interface when the wan connection gets screwed up.

When do you need the admin interface the most? When the connection goes bad (and linky stops responding on both LAN and wan ports. That's when it becomes unavailable; usually even un-pingable!

If that can't be accomplished, provide some form of command-line interface which can be accessed to reset the router without having to power it off and on; perhaps a telnet access, name/password and one command "RESET". Some of us use these things remotely, and the one thing we do NOT have access to remotely is the (non-existent) power switch.
Power-cycling the unit is NOT an option usually. You provide a "remote management and upgrade" facility, but no way to access it when things go bad and the Linky goes totally brain-dead (which happens often on poor and noisy connections). Use some of the wasted memory in the "helps" (a PDF file for help is sufficient help!) to do this if memory is an issue.

Also, please grep through these 140+ messages, and pick a few, most of these issues (from reading other threads in this forum) have not been dealt with.

Firmware: 1.38.4C [Yep! Another 3COM victim]
ISP Mode: PPPoA to 3COM Home Connect Dual Modem
PPPoE:3COM to router.

ISP does not check MAC, but I've entered the MAC used by EnterNet 300.

EnterNet 300 is not currently loaded on any of my systems.

Note: My ISP always assigns the same IP address to my system.

Configuration: Basic, with DHCP disabled.
PPPoE/Keep Alive/100

My linky works great as a hub; but, as a router, the WAN connection quickly "hangs" if there is no active WAN traffic. When hung, the Linksys status page continues to report an active connection. There is appears to be no difference between connect on demand [set at zero] and Keep Alive [40, 100, 180--take your pick]. If I wait long enough ( hour+?), the WAN connection will spontaneously start working again--briefly.

To clear the "hang", I have to go to the Linky Status page and do a manual disconnect/reconnect. Disconnects require about three seconds. Connects/Reconnects require less than two seconds. Behavior is the same with any of the three connected computers.

To keep the WAN link "alive" I've resorted to constantly running a streaming audio download in the background. Because this workaround does work, I think that I can eliminate any cable/LAN-side hardware/phone line quality issues. Also, using Enternet 300, I "lose" the connection less than three times a month running 24/7.

By the way, when I am connected, the TweaksTest gives my system an excellent rating.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Fix-PPPoE3COM-mode-Stay-Alive-Function-1077704 Thu, 05 Jul 2001 17:15:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-VPN-support-for-ADSL-in-the-Netherlands-1076639 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-VPN-support-for-ADSL-in-the-Netherlands-1076639 Thu, 05 Jul 2001 13:47:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-1076062

Having it default it 192.168.1.1 initially is fine, but it would make my life easier if that could be changed. I.e., if I'm running two Linkys; one for DSL, one for Cable...

Also for the tray icon how about a speed of connection

---

It just occurred to me that the Linksys cannot possibly know the connection speed through firsthand experience--it's an Ethernet-to-Ethernet router (or maybe an Ethernet-to-PPPoE router if you want to think at that level) and has very little to do with DSL.

The DSL wire terminates in the modem. The modem knows what speeds it agreed with the DSLAM. The modem ain't telling.

So, a prerequisite for this is that the modem provide a way to report its connection speed to anyone who asks. And I'm sure Linksys will want an 'industry standard' method, not something that needs to be customized for every modem that exists. Anyone know whether this in fact happens?

That being so, if the router got involved, it would be so that a PC could ask the router to tell it (the PC) what the router was told by the modem. Depending on how you address the modem, the router may or may not need to do anything. If the connection speed were retrieved by IP address (e.g., some SNMP command), it sounds like all the router needs to do is to route, between the PC program and the modem. If the speed were retrieved by MAC address (i.e., some protocol running directly over the Ethernet), then the router would need pass-through support for this.

Actually, I don't see the need for a 'tray icon'. If the router did know the connection speed, it seems like it'd belong on the status page of the web interface, along with the other connection details. (NOTE I am talking about connection speed, i.e., what the modem negotiates with the DSLAM, not data throughput speeds or anything else). It's not particularly dynamic.

I just ran a port scan, and UDP 137, 138 and 139 are open.

But I have these ports should have been closed in the filters page of the router.

I had chosen BOTH for the range of 135-139, and had to set the range twice, once on both, once on UDP only. With this range set twice, the scan indicated that the ports were actually blocked.


So, if I choose "Both" I would expect both to get filtered, not just TCP. I would not have expected to set the same range twice with a "Both" option.

I posted the heart of this matter in another thread, about the fact that my BEFSR41
not doing DHCP with my Com21 modem. The whole story is: when I set it to DHCP my
IP address, it Does get an address but the address it gets is very wrong. It ends up
getting a non-routable address in the 192.168.100.x range rather than my
real IP address. I have to imagine that the router doesn't just fabricate that address,
so it must be getting it from the modem somehow. The only way I can currently use it
is to keep a static IP set in it. This works fine until/if @home ever starts swapping
IP addresses and at that point, I'll have to stop using the WAN port and let my computer do the DHCP (which it will do fine BTW) and I will then have lost the NAT feature.

Once my request to Linksys tech support came up, I spent nearly two weeks exchanging
messages with a very helpful seeming tech person, trying probably every possible
combination of settings (host name, domain name, etc.) and it just never worked.

I guess this is/was not a very common problem, else there would have been a solution
already and at this point, no one really knows why this won't work properly. The
final answer from Linksys was to just use the static IP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Ro-883967 Fri, 25 May 2001 22:00:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-880258 said by Psychephylax:

One of the ways around this problem is to ensure that your client computers have different default client ports.

For CS, the default client port is 27005 while the default host port is 27015. If I want to have multiple computers on my LAN connect to the same Internet server, I have to make sure that the default client port is different for each computer on my LAN. (27005, 27006, 27007,...) This can be accomplished via a command line argument or by making a change to the config file in my CS directory for each computer.

If all your computers are using the same client port number and connecting to the same server, the router gets confused as to where to send the data packets when they come back in. By making your ports different for each computer, this should alleviate the problem. Hopefully Starcraft allows this type of modification.

I hope this helps you with your gaming woes.

PLEASE fix the problems that cause this router to constantly lock up under heavy network traffic. Anything that uses UDP protocol seems to make the router crashing problems even more frequent. I'm sick of having to power cycle the router after getting disconnected in a multi-player game, or getting cut off in the middle of streaming video on iFilm.

While you're at it, put a damn on/off switch on future models, so they don't have to unplug this thing when it craps out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-870634 Tue, 22 May 2001 21:34:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-870514

We here are looking for a router which will be able to detect MVL ip's.

Please reply if you have anything to kittan@dleaf.com

Operating system: Windows 2000

Background:

Windows 2000 with Internet Information Server (IIS) installed allows you to access the locally attached printer via a web URL:

"http://servername/printers"

This allows you to install the printer driver and print to the printer via the web from a remote machine. This is a new feature in Windows 2000 IIS known as Internet Printing.

The Issue:

The Linksys router doesn't forward the the Internet Printing traffic.

1. When the router has DMZ disabled, connecting to "http://servername/printers" results the following error:

"An error occurred processing your request.
Error Code: 80070034
Note: Get ADSI Printers"

Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q252416 explains this error:

»support.microsoft.com/su ··· 4/16.ASP

2. When the router has DMZ enabled for the IIS print server, connecting to "http://servername/printers" will render the Internet printing web page but with No printer listed in it, which means you cannot access the printer either even with DMZ on.

It would be great that you fix this issue so that thousands
of people can start using the great Internet Printing through the Linksys router.

If you need more information, I am available at yexin@hotmail.com and at 425-497-1686.

P.S. You guys finally fixed the issue with forwarding LAN side PPTP server traffic issue in firmware 1.38.5. That's great. Please fix this one as well then :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-would-you-like-to-see-FIX-to-the-Linky-Router-867081 Tue, 22 May 2001 04:30:37 EDT
