Router

Factual Questions

Hey guys,
Heres the deal, I have a SMC 100 router using Rogers. We have 4 comps in the house, and last year had no problems setting it up. This year however i’m having a lot of problems. The internet works fine when its connnected just to my comp, but as soon as i punch it throught hte router, nothign works.
I’m 100% sure that it has to do something with the settings, if anyone has ANY ideas whatsoever, could you please contact me asap.
Thanks a bunch

Cheers

If you connect your 4 computers to the router, can those computers still talk to each other? It should work because the router should have its own 192.186… address and each computer would have its own 192.168… address.

I would suggest hooking them up and then browsing to your SMC router’s control panel. On my SMC router, the address is http://192.168.123.254/

Then you can renew the IP address that the router gets from the ISP.

What is “Rogers”?

I am assuming the problem is from PCs to internet, not communicating between the PCs.

  • does your ISP issue you a static or DHCP address?
  • is your router set-up to accept DHCP address or is the WAN
    IP address the same as your PC’s?

Rogers is a Canadian cable company, presumably the OP’s cable modem provider.

Perhaps you now require the ‘host’ and ‘domain’ part of the configuration to be filled out. Where I live routers require this information when your ISP is the main DSL provider and does not need it for the cable company.

Is there a user configuration page provided by Rogers where you might be able to get this info? Or a piece of paper that has it ? Last resort call them up and ask them for the info.

You may need to update your routers firmware to allow such things as PPPoE or something else I can’t remember right now

Here is a linkto a post on another message board. A guy has the same problem and a solution is offered and it works. I’ll just let you read the post rather than quote it here.
