I gotta a network all on a static IP range of 123.846.2.100. I cant get the internet working on any of my computers and was wondering if I have to change the router's IP address to get this to work? If so how do I do it? Please not I CANT change my static IP's.

walks,
Access the router's web interface and change the LAN IP address to 123.846.2.1 [if that is not used by any of your computers] and make sure the default gateway on each of the computer's is set to that address.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. My servers ip is set to 10.10.1.1.
I cannot access the control panel at 192.168.1.1.
I would rather not change all my ips on my network, they are all static at 10.10.1.xxx.
Is there any way to make the linksys work with this setup?
I am using sbc w/ a pppoe connection.
Any help would be appreciated

CTmtnbkr,
Temporarily change the IP addres of one of the computers to 192.168.1.10 and connect it to the router. Access the router's configuration panel at
Configure the router's PPPoE connection and then set the router's internal LAN address to 10.10.1.10 (if that is not used by another computer), save the changes and reset the router.
Change the IP address of the computer back to it's original 10.10.1.x address. You will need to change the default gateway for each of the computers to point to the router's internal LAN address (10.10.1.10).
Hope that helps.

Hi,
so id change the ip on one of my client pcs. shutdown, remove network cable from NIC and replace with another which is connected to the Wan port on the router....correct?
or do i have to have the dsl modem connected also?
I tried what you suggested above and still cannot access the control panel.......
any suggestions?
oh....i also changed the subnet to 255.255.255.0 should I have done this?
when i do connect to the control panel, would the ip be 10.10.1.10 like you suggested or 10.10.1.1?
Thanks
Tom

CTmtnbkr, assuming that the router is 'fresh out of the box', your changes to the client pc should be ip address of 192.168.1.10, subnet 255.255.255.0 The cable from your NIC should go to a lan port on the router as usual. DSL modem doesn't matter. On the client pc, open the browser & navigate to enter your password and you should be there. Change the LAN ip address of the router to 10.10.1.XXX where xxx is an address that is not used by anything else on your network. After applying this change to the router, you will access the router admin at 10.10.1.xxx. Hope this helps.

CTmtnbkr,
Sort of. Change the IP on the machine and connect a cable to one of the router's LAN ports.
As smah, if the router is new (out of the box), the default address for the web interface is 192.168.1.1. If it was used before and reset to another address, you may need to reset it to factory defaults. Use a pencil or paper clip to hold the reset button in until the DIAG light goes on and off again.
You do not need the modem connected to do this.
Yes, the subnet address should be 255.255.255.0.
Afer making the changes discussed, use the 10.10.1.10 address to connect to the router's web interface. 10.10.1.1 is your server as mentioned in the first post.
Hope that helps.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I get it all setup and cant connect. (to the web or config)
It seems my router doesnt like the fact that all my subnet masks are 255.0.0.0 on my network and linksys doesnt give you that option in their dropdown box...looks like I have to go around and change them all. Is this correct...all subnets to 255.255.255.0?
Wish I knew how to run all my comps, including the server with dynamic IPs. Can you tell im a beginner here?
THe Old man, I have to say you are a life saver! Hopefully someday Ill be able to help people on this board like you have me.....
Thanks a million

CTmtnbkr,
I've been there before. I can feel your pain! Take heart, it WILL get better.
Running all the computers with a 255.0.0.0 subnet mask means that you are considering ALL the possible IP addresses between 10.0.0.1 and 10.255.255.255 to be in the same subnet. In your case, it probably will not do any harm but is not really good design.
Using dynamic addressing is not difficult. As long as you need to change the config on each machine, you have two choices:
[ul][li]Set the subnet mask on each to 255.255.255.0 and leave the static IP address as is.[/li]
[li]Set each of the machines to use dynamic addressing by checking off "Obtain IP address automatically" in the TCP/IP properties. That's really all there is to it.[/li][/ul]
You might want to do this for all workstations and leave any servers as static. You can mix both setups with no problems as long as you keep the static addresses out of the DHCP range.
Glad I could be of help. You'll get there someday. Probably sooner than you think. The fact that you can state a question clearly, reason it through and post back with the results is a tremendous help to the lurkers here who, for whatever reason, need help but haven't asked. If even one of them learns something, you have helped and should feel good about it.
Best regards, What goes around - comes around.

Thanks for the tips!
If it helps any...i brought the damn thing home with me (wow, i must be touched) to see if I could get it to work on my dsl connection. I set my puter to obtain and BAM it fired right up. So at least I know the thing will work! woohoo!
Even updated the firmware....
Ok...so here it goes...one last pass by....
So if I leave it setup as is...10.10.1.10 subnet 255.255.255.0 and just change the subnet to on each client i should be rockn 'n rollin.
Is the 255.0.0.0 subnet that made it not able to access when i put it on my network today....or could there be something else i should check? The reason im nervous is that i tested in a dynamic environment.
As I understand w2k server, as long as the workgroup name is correct all client should be able to access the server.
I know...so many questions....but I have to have a pretty good gameplan going before I take the whole office down for a test....either that or become a vampire and come in in the middle of the night (err..and im not a morning person)
Thanks again! lol..where do i contribute to your fund????

ok...tried the setup at the office this am..no luck
wan light not on on router, link and all others are. ethernet cable plugged to wan and then to hub
set clients to new subnet 255.255.255.0. I can access control panel.
router says its connected...cant access web on server (which is where router is located) or any other client.
win98 machines have static ips, as suggested set gateway to 10.10.1.10 (no default gateway option on 98, so just used gateway)
do i need to configure the router in some other location, just using defaults now. I can ping the router.
is a restart needed on clients, even after reboot when subnet changed?
Helppppppppppp!!! Starting to get frustrated after success at home last night.

Ill try turning off dhcp
the bottom light (wan i believe it not on) Link and the middle one are active.
if i make changes to the router config (ie turning off dhcp) do I have to reboot the system, router or dsl modem?
or 1 or a combination of the above

OK...im at my wits end..
tried disabling dhcp, set gateways to 10.10.1.10 on all clients and still noting.
I can connect to the isp through the router but nothing else
any other suggestions? im ready to throw this thing
did i mention this was a pppoe connection??

To make sure that I understand correctly:
DHCP server function is off
Static IP's assigned to all pc's in 10.10.1.xxx range with no duplications
Subnet for all machines 255.255.255.0
all PC's gateway set to 10.10.1.10
Internal router IP address 10.10.1.10
No internal computers with 10.10.1.10 ip
Can access router admin at 10.10.1.10 with any pc
Any pc can get to the internet? (not sure if this is what you meant)
The only remaining problem is that the pc's can't access each other?
If any of the above is wrong, please correct. Also, pick 2 computers and post the full IP configuration - ipconfig /all[color] for winXP & 2K, winipcfg for win9x. Maybe someone will spot something amiss.

CTmtnbkr,
In your earlier post, you said "ethernet cable plugged to wan and then to hub". What do you mean by that? How is this whole network put together?
If you were able to use this at home, it shold be working properly. The issue has to be in the other equipment. We need more information about that.

Hi,
Yes smah,
all the above are true. No pc can access the internet. although I havent tried to access the router from another pc....could this be a clue if i cant? if i cant....what could that say about my lack of connection.....?when i access the router, i am sitting right in front of the hub.
to say the least im stumped.
Is there any browser config i might have missed?
Old man....i have the router hooked into my hub(24 port)...tried different ports...20, 23 etc....but still no dice.
