| One computer keeps disconnecting from internet Hi everybody, I need your help, please. about two years ago I was able to make my home network work with no problems, 2 or 3 computers were able to connect to internet through a router at the same time with no problems at all. For the last two months, I am not able to connect my two computers, as soon as the second one connects to internet the other one disconnects. I connect the modem cable to uplink port then pcs or laptops to lan ports I also was able to connect my computers through a hub with no problems, then I got the router, been using either one and no problems, but now with both of them got the same connectivity problem. This is what I have Internet cable, my provider allows only one ip puredata rt104 router, 1 wan port, 1 uplink port and 4 lan ports one pc with win 2000 pro one pc with winme one laptop with win xp pro one laptop with win98 second edition I have checked all cables and found no problems. No matter wich computers I connect to the router, I always have the same problem, as soon as the other one connects, the other disconnects. I have tried a couple of things but not luck yet, such releasing renewing ip...there is a reset button in my router but I haven´t reset it yet, will it help? Any help will be greatly appreciate Thanks in advanced |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet It looks like your router is not switching like it should. It could be an internal setting that you could tweak (via web interface and login for your device). It could also be a device conflict...namely, your router assigning both your computers the same IP address. Open up a command prompt and check the IP address for each computer by typing 'ipconfig' and see if they both have the same address. Since it happens when you plug the second computer in...I'd be more inclined to say it is an IP conflict than anything...let us know what ipconfig yields. TKS |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet Thanks tks, for your reply. This is what I got from ipconfig win xp pro laptop ip 24.100.126.68 subnet mask 255.255.248.0 default gateway 24.100.120.1 dhcp server 24.153.22.139 win 98 second edition ip 24.100.127.103 subnet mask 255.255.248.0 default gateway 24.100.120.1 dhcp server 24.153.22.139 The ips are different,but still having the same conection problem. Hope this info will give you a better idea of my problem. Thanks |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet Do both pc's keep a link light on the whole time? Can they ping each other while only one can access the internet? I checked with www.puredata.com and they don't show any updated firmware available for your router, or any FAQ/knowledge base answers concerning your problem. It may be worth a shot to try a different router just to see if it works. If you need to replace the router I suggest you try a Linksys and Netgear. If money is no object the Cisco PIX 501 is a dandy little firewall with four LAN ports. |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet thanks w1r3sp33d... yes both computers keep the link on at all times and ping each other as well, except that one does not get internet connection, if I release/renew ip on the one that gets no connection,it does inmediately, but the other one that previously was connected, disconects. thanks |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet thanks sphyenx... I have no idea about my speed, when connected with router it shows 100.0mbps, without router 10 mbps. I never have a problem before connecting my 4 computers to the internet, but usually I only connect 2 or 3, no problems at all. I have this problem in the last 2 months, could be my router? even if both computers keep the link on,can ping each other and see each other in the network? Thanks for your help |

| Re: One computer keeps disconnecting from internet Can you get your hands on another router to test with? If so I suggest you swap out the Puredata and see if the problem exists without it in the mix. From what I am hearing, I have the router as suspect #1. |

2. Quote:
The IP addresses listed above by ipconfig are not addresses in one of the private, non-routable address ranges; they are Internet-legal addresses registered to Rogers Cable. You will need to configure the LAN-side of the router to assign private IP addresses to the machines on your network instead of "passing through" the IP settings obtained from Rogers. As it stands, your router appears to be acting as a simple switch, and as Rogers only assigns/allows you one IP, that configuration will not work. Typical internal (LAN-side) NAT schemes usually use IPs within the private 192.168. or 10. address ranges. See the following article for more information on NAT and why you need to use it if you are going to have more than one computer connected to an ISP which only allows you a single IP: http://www.jpsdomain.org/networking/nat.html |
