I was hoping to see if you could Interesting the cable from 1st router the cable goes to the 1st port on the first viop router, I have made this work, but generally the cable should be connected to the " internet " port on the router. On the port that the voip router connects to, go into that router ( the first one) and set that port to 100Mbps , and the rest lesser. This wont change any setting that will effect connectivity, just give the phone router more bandwidth.

VPN ~ Virtual Private Network Used to access an off site computer in a secure fashion. Or to allow another machine off site to access a computer on your network. FTP ~ File Transfer Protocol ~ used to transfer files in many different ways from one computer to another. Or one network to another. The reason you "break up" is exactly what we hope to solve by giving the phone router priority over any other connection. The available bandwidth you have is being split between connections, there is not enough to around.

ok do this for me, whatever way you can just show me how your network is set up, the "manually configured box has me hesitant, my questions are why, is this a vpn, is this accessed by remote users, do you host a ftp through it, and so on. So at this point , I would like to see if it is possible to do this in leaving the network basically the way it is.

That must be the first one in the network right? the router you can access? If you have the second router connected off the first one, and any devices off the second, it will be turned off, otherwise you would have no connection to the device connected to the second router due to a possible IP conflict. You can do that , if necessary, by connectiong directly to the router you wish to turn DHCP off and typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.15.1or 192.168.0.1 or so on.

OK it doesn't really work in a way that the numbers are given out in consecutive order. Lets say comp #1 -4 are on. You shut down, that ip goes back to the pool, you startt up the machine again, the IP wil be pulled from the pool within the parameters set within the router range, this also applies to any router you may have . The reason you can't ping certain IP's may very well be that you have them stemming from a router that does not allow to be pinged, and or the machine specific firewall settings .

OK good for you for reading up, no really many people just want to jump in then get freaked out lol. You should be able to log into the 1st router as you say is the wireless, and look under the client list to see the live IP addresses, I can't give you a screenshot, I am running dd wrt on my wireless. Just get a bit more familiar by looking a bit deeper into the setup , and you'll find the addressees.

Just take some time to "map out" the wires, get familiar w/ the router interfaces at the links below, and take notes on what you find, only when you feel 100% confident to get into this you should continue. The port QOS is set in the router itself , so it really doesn't matter, personally, I put the highest needed device on port 1.

So have they announced when service pack 2 is commin out yet?

ok look at it this way people, say for instance your CPU is running at 2.5 Ghz, that's 2.5 Billion operations per second, most HDD's spin at 7200 Rpm's , or 120 cycles, or 120 Hz, man, that puts the CPU @ 20 Million times faster than the hard drive, so take an old HDD, and put it in a newer system, and your kinda fallin on your face from the get go.

YUP.....and ya never saw it commin didja !!!! so wipe the tears, and look at the 300,000 points i have for foldin !!!! Mr. bananna is chantin ( in that bananna voice only a bananna could have ) * go mud.....go mud....fold yo ass offf ...........go mud....go mud......fold yo frickin pants off ...........*

Thank you

You know, I'm still trying to understand something. You rarely hear about someone loving Vista, just google it, see what ya get, sure there are those who have no issues, but damn. M$ knows they have a pooper on there hands, so they keep the price way up on the thing to draw in more people that don't read. But what are they going to do with how many million copy's of Millennium revived once the cycle breaks of a buying frenzy. What are they thinking?

and were off............let the service packs begin

QOS ~ quality of service. So that that port, or that plug in the back of the router that the device is plugged into will be configured for priority bandwidth when open. DHCP ~Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (protocol for automating the configuration of tcpip) So that when the network card asks for an address, the server gives it an address in the form of numbers, or octets (ie: 127.0.0.1 local host ) so the packets or data knows where to go, kinda like a street sign, or your house address , so the postman knows where to deliver mail. The router by default turns on the DHCP server, before we do this, we will walk through the router gui ( graphical user interface) which on the linksys you have they shoud belocated at 192.168.15.1 or 192.168.1.1 so understanding what is going to happen, allows things to happen. All configuration will be done in this manner. The modem will be located at 192.168.100.1 There's not much you should do here, especially since you have DSL, there is sometimes many settings that can turn your connection into mush. But you could still reset them to the defaults. Before doing anything, take tape of some kind to write on, or if by any chance you have those little number stickies that are used to wrap around the wires to identify what they are connected to. Masking tape works well when nothing else is available. Note down everything , and the placement of everything. Making sure you know what goes where by numbers or by names , whatever works for you. Look into the router configuration, and make a few notes as to the settings, just be meticulous, and if all fails, you can just return things to where they were originally. If in doubt , don't change settings.

Did you set this up yourself? I ask because I really would like not to have you dismantle this thing to re route , and then have you stuck w/ a pile of wires and no access to the net. Once you start this , you have to be able to re connect things , and configure them properly. I will say this is what I would do, and if you chose to delve into it or not, I'll respect it. QOS on max port 1 Line 1 & 2 Fax (Or where the numbers are on the ports) Make sure before removing l l l Modem> Router (DHCP on) >> port 1 >>> Voip router >>>> Voip router l l l Switch or other router w/ DHCP off DHCP Off DHCP Off l l l All other network connections Does this look possible?

Yes, but click the "start automatic test"

Sounds as if your savvy about networking so setting up your network as below should be no issue for you, then we'll get the QOS implemented. Can you show me the exact layout of your network right now?

I have notified the Admins/ Owner about this, I'm sure it won't be long before they fix it , hang in there

It's working fine for me.

Welcome to testmy.net infectedbyvirus, I hope it's not to serious j/k

What you should be looking at is the TEC, " Threshold exceeded Condition" , it says n/a , Now I'm not sure if that means the smart settings weren't turned on in the bios when the system was setup, or that the hdd is ok for now. Maybe do some reading on the site to decipher the results.

Maybe try this <a href=http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm>Hard drive monitoring software</a> and see what that tells you. The personal version should be free.

Well bless you too, but lets please bless each other in English, they have those forum rules ya know. :grin2:

The last time I came across that was a dyeing hard drive, not to say thats your problem, is the HDD older?
