Thread: Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection

ok justforkix, I tried your guide out "multiple connections primer (updated)", but did not work :-(

my PPPoE was already set up, so I set up DHCP server on my huawei... then set up the linksys to accept automatic configuration - DHCP, but to know avail

in the end when I click status, there are a few marked differences from the screenshot you have put in...

Firmware Version: v7.00.1 May.4, 2006 (Same)
Current Time: Not Available (NOT SAME)
Router Name: WRT54G (same)
Host Name: <Blank> (same)
Domain Name: <blank> (same)

Login Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP (same)
IP Address: 192.168.1.3 (same)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same)
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (NOT SAME)
DNS1: <blank> (NOT SAME)
DNS2: <blank> (same)
DNS3: <blank) (same)
MTU: 1500 (same)

I've followed the instructions to a T, so I think there might be some mess up in huawei, since its different from UT-300R2U, i am posting some screenshots here, hope u can identify whats wrong...

thanks so much

From your note above, it is quite clear that Huawei and Linksys are not connected. Otherwise you should get the default gateway as 192.168.1.1 (or the same internal IP address as that of Huawei ADSL modem).

What is the internal IP address of your Huawei ADSL modem router? And what the internal IP address of the Linksys router? Both need to be different. For example, if the IP addr of Huawei ADSL modem router is 192.168.1.1, then the Linksys router must be on a different sub-net, say 192.168.2.1.

DHCP must be set to ON on both devices.

THAT WAS IT!! Thank you so much!!

Justforkix I really appreciate all the help youve given me. Fantastic Guide, and Fantastic Follow up, You are the best!!!

Also would like to thank India Broadband, its great we have such a fantastic forum, with so many likeminded people to help us out. Thanks you so much!

No problem, friend. Usually a small error/missout happens but that results in total failure.

Dear Justforkix,
one more question... when my ADSL used to connect to my desktop straight, the following IP's were used for the modem

IP: 192.168.1.41
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 61.1.96.69
DNS2: 61.1.96.71

these have not been put into the router config or anything. And I notice that everytime the power blows, once the router re-connects I am not able to access the internet, till I take my laptop (which is using the above IP's for LAN settings), connect my laptop to the ethernet coming out of the ADSL modem, and then once the connection is working on the laptop, connect the ethernet cable back into the assigned 'internet' port of the linksys router.

I have a feeling the loss of connectivity is because the DNS's are not in the router config... what shud I do about this? please let me know, thanks

ok I also just checked... PVC-0 has gone red when I log into the modem...

I dont know what exactly is causing this...

more bad news, the entire set up has totally stopped working...

PVC-0 as I said has gone red, there is a CRC error on the upstream of 2239, and some 8 on the downstream...

I have no idea what is causing this since nothing has changed since yesterday

one power cut came, i just restarted the modems and it was working fine, after the second one I've restarted and nothing has happened.

also on checking the router, the default gateway has gone back 0.0.0.0

justforkix, would really appreciate your help, thanks

Your settings could have been lost or corrupted. You could start over by reseting both the devices.

Add both machines to a workgroup. After that you would be able to see both machines in "my network places".

the DNS entries dont need to be put anywhere tho?

DNS entries are optional. If you donot put them anywhere, they will default to those provided by BSNL. Else you can use OpenDNS settings - which are much better that BSNL's DNS.

p/s This four weeks, I am in USA. I am getting rocking speeds. Man, I am green with envy/jealousy.

hi ,

i tried the one you said ,
i have given the WORK GROUP as WORKGROUP for both the systems and as i said i can view both the systems in the other PC but when i double click on the icon , it tries to conect to the system and says 192.168.1.33 is not available

hi,

My subscriber has opted for a static IP which was provided by BSNL as he wanted it for his office network and now he wants me to configure it.
How can i configure the Static IP in the UT300r2u modem and how is that useful in a network

I will not be able to help you right now because I am not at my home but I am traveling (in US for 4 weeks).

UT300R2U has a static option mode. Using the Wizard, you should select this option. This is the third screen after clicking the 'Run Wizard' button.

Static IP is most useful when you wish to do hosting services or implement your own web server.

Hi Buddy,
Gotta a problem with router...
i am not so aware of the router technology...
currently I am using BSNL home plan 250 with 5 PC's.....

Absolutely. You can connect a switch to the ADSL router and thus create a small network. You must configure the ADSL modem/router in PPPoE mode so that you will not have to dial anymore. Once ADSL modem is in PPPoE mode, it will dial itself and keep a permanent connection. After that you can get rid of dialer in your main PC (which is having the shared internet connection). Connect all PCs to the switch and each will be on internet.

Hey just4kix,
hope your US trip is going well... I tried what you said, brought both modems back to factory settings, and configured them again. I even got the PVC-0 to connect again, but there is no changing the default gateway from 0.0.0.0 unfortunately
:-(

one more thing while experimenting I noticed is that, if I add the cable from my ADSL into the router, but NOT in the internet port, the router works fine and my desktop can access the internet... However I cannot acces 192.168.2.1 (router) from my desktop, and in addition my laptop doesnt connect to the internet...

would that give you any clue as to why the set up isnt working anymore? do let me know, thanks (DHCP is enabled both places)
