Bloody Network!

Post by Mr Bean »

I have the following
One D-Link DWL-G630 Carbus Wireless networking card
One Wired Realtek RTL8139/810x 10/100 NIC Card
One D-Link Wireless 108G Gaming Router(Oooh only Router in store with the word gaming on it... muuust buy over all other products)

One Crazy ass British Telecom who's provided DSL Connection is a 10 Mb connection grey box thats only labled with "ADC" as the company and CAMPUS RS as the modem type.

The problem...
My Router connects just fine with my Carbus, however when attempting to network the two it freeze/times out on getting network address, am using encription not the crappy kind but the other rare kind who's name escapes me.

And my Realtek can't see the modem through my Router, or at least can't connect to it.

Question, what am I doing wrong/What can I do to make it right with my Realtek connected to my modem while my Carbus enjoys the Wirless network?

Bloody hell. Ok from what I can gather, you need to give me more information. You are trying to use DHCP over a wireless connection and you get a connection but the DHCP resolution doesn't work. Have you tried assigning just static IPs as a test to see if the encryption is your issue? Test that and report back to me. If you can do so within 3 hours, I can help, otherwise, I'm gone until Sunday evening PST and the assistence will have to wait until then.

Ok not quite, the Router has a regular Ethernet connect combined with the wireless specificly for the Laptop, As for assigning static IPs I've tried that but its a no-go, Can't see the outside world through the modem nor the Laptop through the Wireless(Though I can see its network just fine.)

I'm starting to think its the Fuckass Modem/Router(Turns out it is a Router, we don't have standard DSL here) so I have two routers in my network here, one of which I can't configure.

Ok, let's confirm this.
1) You can't see the outside world though your modem (I can't help you with this, you'd need to contact your ISP)
2) The wireless part of your of your network doesn't finalize the DHCP.

Not sure what you are saying with (You can see it's network just fine)
Here are a few things to try.
1) Disable the encryption on the router and Laptop first. See if you can establish a connection with out encryption first, then we can hike up the difficulty after we know the basic connection works.
2) Ensure the laptop doesn't have a different encryption for wireless, cause that will mess you up.
3)I know it shouldn't affect the wireless card but try disabling the physical card's port and see if there is a conflict there

Problem's been fixed, network is up and running. I had to wave my hands over the modem and threaten it a large magnet and that did the trick.
