can't access wired lan at same time as wifi link

[Guest]

I have a new laptop running x home. I have a desktop running xp home that is
on the household peer-peer wired lan.

When I establish a wifi (802.11b/g) link between the desktop and laptop I
can brows the desktop shared folders from the laptop. But at the same time
my desktop can't acess the household shared internet connection or lan (which
is proxy plus running on a win98 box). When I drop the wireless connection
my xp desktop can access the internet connection and lan again.

Why is this?

The laptop is also set up to use a ethernet cable as well.
Also while I can access files/subfolders within a predefined "bluetooth"
folder on my desktop from my laptop, I can't use bluetooth to access internet
from the laptop. bluetooth does not affect network connections on the
desktop

The routing information is setup so that it will take the shortest path. So
if your wifi connection runs faster than your Lan then your computer will
start using the wifi connection as a gateway. I'm guessing your lan is 10
Mbps while your wifi is 54 Mbps. This will help:

You are right on our lan being a 10Mbps variety.


As soon as I disconnected the link and unplugged the wifi usb dongle, Ie
could load a page. How do I manually force the route (dummies guide please)

 

[Bisirat Amanuel]

run this on command prompt:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [LAN gateway IP] metric [# hops]

of course replace the brackets with correct data. Simply run route on
command prompt to get a hint of how it works.

Start>run>cmd to get command prompt
then I typed in
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [192.168.0.101] metric [1]

The reply was
route: bad gateway address [192.168.0.101]

run this on command prompt:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [LAN gateway IP] metric [# hops]

I have recreated your problem and it works on my computer. All I had to do
was
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.17.104.1

the -p just makes it stay after reboot. Default gateway changed from
192.168.0.1 to 172.17.104.1 and I could get back online again.

yes it is there under persistant routes

Apologies for slow responce .I had to go to my day job today.

I tried the value that worked for you and I got "the route addition failed:
either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the same
network as the interface. check the IP address table for the machine.

192.168.0.101 is the IP of the machine on our 10Mb/s wired ethernet Lan that
handles our internet connection via proxy software.

I have just removed the persistant link and then done route print

rp1-4-2007.txt to get a text file of the output of route print.

yes it is there under persistant routes
the ip address i used is also under default gateway.

apologies for slow responce - i looked at the article you posted the link

when you run "route print" it should show you the persistent route you
added. Is it there?

then I typed in

The reply was

run this on command prompt:

You are right on our lan being a 10Mbps variety.


As soon as I disconnected the link and unplugged the wifi usb

guide

:

The routing information is setup so that it will take the
shortest
path.
So
if your wifi connection runs faster than your Lan then your
computer
will
start using the wifi connection as a gateway. I'm guessing your
lan
is
10
Mbps while your wifi is 54 Mbps. This will help:

I have a new laptop running x home. I have a desktop running
xp
home
that
is
on the household peer-peer wired lan.

When I establish a wifi (802.11b/g) link between the desktop
and
laptop
I
can brows the desktop shared folders from the laptop. But at
the
same
time
my desktop can't acess the household shared internet
connection
or
lan
(which
is proxy plus running on a win98 box). When I drop the
wireless
connection
my xp desktop can access the internet connection and lan
again.

Why is this?

The laptop is also set up to use a ethernet cable as well.
Also while I can access files/subfolders within a predefined
"bluetooth"
folder on my desktop from my laptop, I can't use bluetooth to
access
internet
from the laptop. bluetooth does not affect network
connections
on
the
desktop

Well, everything seems good. Your network should work, although, it might
have a problem is both networks have the same subnet. If your wireless is
192.168.0.x, the other one needs to be 192.168.1.x or something different.
If both interfaces can access a gateway called 192.168.0.101 - the computer
will have a hard time picking the right one (someone correct me if i'm
wrong).

Do ipconfig on command prompt and give me the data, also give me the route
print again. Thanks.

Apologies for slow responce .I had to go to my day job today.

I tried the value that worked for you and I got "the route addition
failed:
either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the
same
network as the interface. check the IP address table for the machine.

192.168.0.101 is the IP of the machine on our 10Mb/s wired ethernet Lan
that
handles our internet connection via proxy software.

I have just removed the persistant link and then done route print

rp1-4-2007.txt to get a text file of the output of route print.

I have recreated your problem and it works on my computer. All I had to
do
was
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.17.104.1

the -p just makes it stay after reboot. Default gateway changed from
192.168.0.1 to 172.17.104.1 and I could get back online again.




yes it is there under persistant routes
the ip address i used is also under default gateway.

apologies for slow responce - i looked at the article you posted the
link
for and the instructions caused the ling between laptop and desktop to
establish but not exchange data.

:

when you run "route print" it should show you the persistent route you
added. Is it there?


I tried it without brackets.

I can now from my desktop browse the household wired lan while the
laptop
is
connected to the desktop via wifi. The desktop still can't access
the
household shared internet connection though while the wifi usb
dongle
is
connected though.

I have the [# hops] at 1 is this correct?
the internet goes:

run this on command prompt:

of course replace the brackets with correct data. Simply run

I have a new laptop running x home. I have a desktop
running
xp
home
that
is
on the household peer-peer wired lan.

When I establish a wifi (802.11b/g) link between the
desktop
and
laptop
I
can brows the desktop shared folders from the laptop. But
at
the
same
time
my desktop can't acess the household shared internet
connection
or
lan
(which
is proxy plus running on a win98 box). When I drop the
wireless
connection
my xp desktop can access the internet connection and lan
again.

Why is this?

The laptop is also set up to use a ethernet cable as well.
Also while I can access files/subfolders within a
predefined
"bluetooth"
folder on my desktop from my laptop, I can't use bluetooth
to
access
internet
from the laptop. bluetooth does not affect network
connections
on
the
desktop

I don't seen anything wrong with your setup, I'm assuming either your wifi
was not up at the time of the "route print" or the wifi has static ip's (or
maybe NAT enabled).

I'm trying to see the difference between your lan turned on and both
lan/wifi are turned on.

Well, everything seems good. Your network should work, although, it might
have a problem is both networks have the same subnet. If your wireless is
192.168.0.x, the other one needs to be 192.168.1.x or something
different.
If both interfaces can access a gateway called 192.168.0.101 - the
computer
will have a hard time picking the right one (someone correct me if i'm
wrong).

Do ipconfig on command prompt and give me the data, also give me the
route
print again. Thanks.

Apologies for slow responce .I had to go to my day job today.

I tried the value that worked for you and I got "the route addition
failed:
either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the
same
network as the interface. check the IP address table for the machine.

192.168.0.101 is the IP of the machine on our 10Mb/s wired ethernet Lan
that
handles our internet connection via proxy software.

I have just removed the persistant link and then done route print
rp1-4-2007.txt to get a text file of the output of route print.

I am using static IP addresses.

I just changed the ip address for the wifi adapters from 192.168.0.XX to
192.168.1.XX
(while the ethernet wired lan is 192.168.0.XX) and now it seems to be
working. Your post yesterday my time/early today your time did mention
changing the third group digit in the ip address which I have just tried.

Now I can put the proxy program we use on to my desktop to route internet
to the laptop without having to change anything else on the household network
or shiftingchanging our internet gateway.

Thank You verry verry much for your time on this matter.

Well, everything seems good. Your network should work, although, it might
have a problem is both networks have the same subnet. If your wireless is
192.168.0.x, the other one needs to be 192.168.1.x or something
different.
If both interfaces can access a gateway called 192.168.0.101 - the
computer
will have a hard time picking the right one (someone correct me if i'm
wrong).

Do ipconfig on command prompt and give me the data, also give me the
route
print again. Thanks.


Apologies for slow responce .I had to go to my day job today.

I tried the value that worked for you and I got "the route addition
failed:
either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the
same
network as the interface. check the IP address table for the machine.

192.168.0.101 is the IP of the machine on our 10Mb/s wired ethernet Lan
that
handles our internet connection via proxy software.

I have just removed the persistant link and then done route print
rp1-4-2007.txt to get a text file of the output of route print.

I have recreated your problem and it works on my computer. All I had
to
do
was
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.17.104.1

the -p just makes it stay after reboot. Default gateway changed from
192.168.0.1 to 172.17.104.1 and I could get back online again.




yes it is there under persistant routes
the ip address i used is also under default gateway.

apologies for slow responce - i looked at the article you posted the
link
for and the instructions caused the ling between laptop and desktop
to
establish but not exchange data.

:

when you run "route print" it should show you the persistent route
you
added. Is it there?


message
I tried it without brackets.

I can now from my desktop browse the household wired lan while
the
laptop
is
connected to the desktop via wifi. The desktop still can't
access
the
household shared internet connection though while the wifi usb
dongle
is
connected though.

I have the [# hops] at 1 is this correct?
the internet goes:
xp home desktop > hub > win98 "proxy box" > adsl modem

:

My Bad I forgot to mention to leave out the brackets.

message
Start>run>cmd to get command prompt
then I typed in
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [192.168.0.101] metric [1]

The reply was
route: bad gateway address [192.168.0.101]



:

run this on command prompt:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [LAN gateway IP] metric [#
hops]

of course replace the brackets with correct data. Simply run
route
on
command prompt to get a hint of how it works.

message
You are right on our lan being a 10Mbps variety.


As soon as I disconnected the link and unplugged the wifi
usb
dongle,
Ie
could load a page. How do I manually force the route
(dummies
guide
please)


:

The routing information is setup so that it will take the
shortest
path.
