Hi everyone =),
Okay, this is not my problem.. this is my friend's problem (He lives in NY and I live in Vancouver) so I couldn't be physically there to see what's wrong...
By chance (or a miracle) I searched on google and ended up here =D!
Here's the problem:
My friend has a pretty decent computer/ High Speed Internet/ Cable Modem.. He used to be able to host CS(it's a game) Servers up until 2 nights ago when it suddenly crashed... We tried to fix it yesturday and nothing worked...(We tried almost everything.. like reboot system..checkin g everything is connected properly.. turning modem off and on... Network Troubleshooter) ...
When he connects directly via the Cable Modem.. It says he has Local Area Connection... but he cant connect to the internet(Theref ore cannot host the CS server)... His ISP also says that everything is working over at their end...
But.. if he connects to the router that connects to the cable Modem... He can use the Internet.. but Can't Host the CS Server cause it's a router connection....
I couldn't be physically over there to see the problems and such (since we are seperated by alot of kms?).. So posting to see if anyone know of this problem and how to fix?
Thanks,
CE

Sounds like any solution will require logging directly into either the modem or the router. Cable modems are usually proprietary and hard to get manuals for but the ISP will usually walk a person through most setups. I believe that the thing to do (especially because the router is usually needed for connection sharing) is open a hole in the routers firewall to allow requests to come in from specific locations. I've never done that (development machine must be sealed) and details are brand name specific, but once a person is inside the router (http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ - the former is for D-link) it may become clear and there are usually help pages, too.
The modem has probably had its DHCP or DNS service disabled somehow.
One thing that might work there is hold in the reset button for a really long time.

The thing is... before 2 days ago.. he could just use the cable modem to connect to the internet... host the CS server.. which only has the static IP...
Now with the router.. every time he creates a server.. the IP is dynamic so it comes out different every time (also sometimes you can't connect).. that's why we don't want the router to be involved for the server hosting...(and normally it just sits on the side unplugged)
We're trying to get his ISP tech to come in and give it a wack...but like all ISPs they like to put people on hold =/
How long do you suggest for the reset?

Half a minute should do it. If you give relevant details, like brand, etc., we may be able to dig up extra info. Thanks.
Okay
ISP:
Optimum Online
Modem:
Motorolla SBV 5120
=)
I did some digging myself in optimum but the topics didn't really help..(probably cause it was at 12 in the morning and I started to get annoyed XD)
If that helps let me know =D

Well, VOIP may complicate things greatly (I have no experience with that). Looks like the manual is here.

Hi,
I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the
front-end stored on all computers and the back-end on one of them serving as
an Access file server.
Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office
will be open at a time, so theoretically it'd be possible to copy the
back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly,
that's pretty annoying.

My D-Link DSL-302G modem/router has a real-time clock whose settings

interface, I wonder if there is a way to copy the JS code to the hard

could then add the hacked JS page to my browser's bookmarks. I've
already successfully modified and adapted other modem menus, but I

Hi all,
I've try to connect any computer at my office from home. The situation is, my office using a modem router to connect trough the internet. When I try to connect any PC at the office it's required an IP address. So, I put my IP address of my PC at the office. But it couldn't connected, because that was a local IP (it's only can connect on the same LAN).
When I check my global IP I've got a number 222.24.xxx.xxx. But that is not my...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
