Automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter

[Barb Bowman]

try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us and
try WPA2 Personal on the SMC.

sorry, SMC8014W-G and internet provided by Rogers

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewProduct&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=2&scid=19&pid=1505

I don't know much of anything regarding NAT, however, I couldn't find
anything in the router's webpage to turn off or alter NAT settings. Only NAT
option was for port forwarding.

Rogers (my ISP) says there is nothing they can do because I am getting
internet service without issues on my desktop, therefore the router is
functioning properly. SMC (router manufacturer) sends me back directions to
unplug, wait 10 seconds and plug back in or speak to my ISP.

do you mean SMC8014WG ?
I can't find a product page for SC8014...

which of the ones on
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewCategory&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=2
do you have or is this provided by your ISP (who is your ISP?)

some of the business SMC8014's have 1 to 1 NAT (symmetrical) as
opposed to cone NAT. and on some you can turn 1 to 1 on and off and
use Cone NAT.

-IPv6 has been unbound
-current intel driver matches latest version posted on Intel website (ver
11.5.0.32)
-router info - SC8014WG WAN/LAN
RG and NAT functions - Enabled
Software Version 4.02.06-GNR
Hardware Version 1B
Encryption - WPA-PSK (only other options given are WPA2-PSK and WEP)
Re: updates - the website says there are none available for this model under
firmware or drivers. Also, The directions given by SMC for upgrading the
router itemizes menu options that I don't have listed. I have emailed their
tech support regarding this but haven't heard back yet.


:

first, unbind IPv6
http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com/ipv6-how-to-unbind-from-a-nic-in-windows-vista/

second, get the latest driver from the Intel website for the
wireless

third, post the brand model, hardware revision of the router you are
using and the firmware version and what type of security you are
using. you should try WPA-AES with this particular wireless card or
WPA2.

Everytime I reboot the laptop I loose the ability to connect to the internet
although the laptop confirms a connection to the wireless network router. As
soons as I click "Diagnose this connection" and choose "Automatically get new
IP Settings for the network adapter" I have internet connectivity restored.

The laptop is an HP dv6755ca, less then one week old, and has been checked
to be sure all drivers and updates have been installed. I have run
anti-virus and checked for malware/spyware. The network setup is 1. PC
connected via ethernet, 1. wireless laptop and 1. smc8014w-g wireless gateway.

Although the setup was walked through with me by the technician (over the
phone) I'm not yet ruling out a faulty set-up in the 192.168.0.1 site [except
that I have had no issues with the wired connection].

Any ideas as to how to get this setup so that I don't have to diagnose the
laptop's internet connection everytime I turn it on?

Everytime I reboot the laptop I loose the ability to connect to the internet
although the laptop confirms a connection to the wireless network router. As
soons as I click "Diagnose this connection" and choose "Automatically get new
IP Settings for the network adapter" I have internet connectivity restored.

The laptop is an HP dv6755ca, less then one week old, and has been checked
to be sure all drivers and updates have been installed. I have run
anti-virus and checked for malware/spyware. The network setup is 1. PC
connected via ethernet, 1. wireless laptop and 1. smc8014w-g wireless gateway.

Although the setup was walked through with me by the technician (over the
phone) I'm not yet ruling out a faulty set-up in the 192.168.0.1 site [except
that I have had no issues with the wired connection].

Any ideas as to how to get this setup so that I don't have to diagnose the
laptop's internet connection everytime I turn it on?

okay, the registry has been edited and the encryption changed to WPA2.
However, upon rebooting the system 3 times a static IP address is still
required for the internet connection to work. In the network and sharing
center the connection shows up as Identifying...(public network) each reboot.

While editting the laptop registry I noticed differences compared to my
desktop:
DhcpDefaultGateway not there (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpDomain not there (desktop = mygateway.net)
DhcpIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 (desktop's = 192.168.1.2)
DhcpNameServer not there (desktop = 192.168.0.1)
DhcpServer = 255.255.255.255 (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpSubnetMask = 255.0.0.0 (desktop = 255.255.255.0)
IPAutoconfigurationAddress = 169.254.59.161 (desktop = 0.0.0.0)

I assume some of these differences are because the laptop OS is Vista Home
Premium and the desktop OS is Vista Ultimate. However, I'm willing to bet
that something is wrong in the laptop's registry. Can't explain it - it just
feels wrong. lol.

try this
open en elevated cmd prompt and type in

net config rdr [enter]

the first set is the GUID for the second which is the MAC address

The article refers to the GUID for the network adapter. How do I find out
which of the 5 folders I have is the correct one to edit?

try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us and
try WPA2 Personal on the SMC.

sorry, SMC8014W-G and internet provided by Rogers

I don't know much of anything regarding NAT, however, I couldn't find

option was for port forwarding.

Rogers (my ISP) says there is nothing they can do because I am getting
internet service without issues on my desktop, therefore the router is
functioning properly. SMC (router manufacturer) sends me back directions to
unplug, wait 10 seconds and plug back in or speak to my ISP.

some of the business SMC8014's have 1 to 1 NAT (symmetrical) as

well, I just finished recovering the laptop from a system crash.

Everytime I reboot the laptop I loose the ability to connect to the internet
although the laptop confirms a connection to the wireless network router. As
soons as I click "Diagnose this connection" and choose "Automatically get new
IP Settings for the network adapter" I have internet connectivity restored.

The laptop is an HP dv6755ca, less then one week old, and has been checked
to be sure all drivers and updates have been installed. I have run
anti-virus and checked for malware/spyware. The network setup is 1. PC
connected via ethernet, 1. wireless laptop and 1. smc8014w-g wireless gateway.

Although the setup was walked through with me by the technician (over the
phone) I'm not yet ruling out a faulty set-up in the 192.168.0.1 site [except
that I have had no issues with the wired connection].

Any ideas as to how to get this setup so that I don't have to diagnose the
laptop's internet connection everytime I turn it on?

I see that as good news.

well, I just finished recovering the laptop from a system crash.
Unfortunately I had to install a different OS then the laptop came with
because my recovery disks wouldn't work. The laptop now has VIsta Ultimate
and I am having no issues connecting to the internet.

I'd like to see a new ipconfig /all

http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com/ipconfig-all-how-to-get-text-output/

okay, the registry has been edited and the encryption changed to WPA2.
However, upon rebooting the system 3 times a static IP address is still
required for the internet connection to work. In the network and sharing
center the connection shows up as Identifying...(public network) each reboot.

While editting the laptop registry I noticed differences compared to my
desktop:
DhcpDefaultGateway not there (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpDomain not there (desktop = mygateway.net)
DhcpIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 (desktop's = 192.168.1.2)
DhcpNameServer not there (desktop = 192.168.0.1)
DhcpServer = 255.255.255.255 (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpSubnetMask = 255.0.0.0 (desktop = 255.255.255.0)
IPAutoconfigurationAddress = 169.254.59.161 (desktop = 0.0.0.0)

I assume some of these differences are because the laptop OS is Vista Home
Premium and the desktop OS is Vista Ultimate. However, I'm willing to bet
that something is wrong in the laptop's registry. Can't explain it - it just
feels wrong. lol.

:

try this
open en elevated cmd prompt and type in

net config rdr [enter]

the first set is the GUID for the second which is the MAC address

The article refers to the GUID for the network adapter. How do I find out
which of the 5 folders I have is the correct one to edit?

:

try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us and
try WPA2 Personal on the SMC.

sorry, SMC8014W-G and internet provided by Rogers

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewProduct&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=2&scid=19&pid=1505

I don't know much of anything regarding NAT, however, I couldn't find
anything in the router's webpage to turn off or alter NAT settings. Only NAT
option was for port forwarding.

Rogers (my ISP) says there is nothing they can do because I am getting
internet service without issues on my desktop, therefore the router is
functioning properly. SMC (router manufacturer) sends me back directions to
unplug, wait 10 seconds and plug back in or speak to my ISP.

:

do you mean SMC8014WG ?
I can't find a product page for SC8014...

which of the ones on
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewCategory&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=2
do you have or is this provided by your ISP (who is your ISP?)

some of the business SMC8014's have 1 to 1 NAT (symmetrical) as
opposed to cone NAT. and on some you can turn 1 to 1 on and off and
use Cone NAT.

-IPv6 has been unbound
-current intel driver matches latest version posted on Intel website (ver
11.5.0.32)
-router info - SC8014WG WAN/LAN
RG and NAT functions - Enabled
Software Version 4.02.06-GNR
Hardware Version 1B
Encryption - WPA-PSK (only other options given are WPA2-PSK and WEP)
Re: updates - the website says there are none available for this model under
firmware or drivers. Also, The directions given by SMC for upgrading the
router itemizes menu options that I don't have listed. I have emailed their
tech support regarding this but haven't heard back yet.


:

first, unbind IPv6
http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com/ipv6-how-to-unbind-from-a-nic-in-windows-vista/

second, get the latest driver from the Intel website for the
wireless

third, post the brand model, hardware revision of the router you are
using and the firmware version and what type of security you are
using. you should try WPA-AES with this particular wireless card or
WPA2.
