I am using the Linksys RV042 router as a gateway for the purpose of load balancing. I recently changed one of my ISPs and the new ISP is using some wireless technology that I don't understand. It is based on wi-fi and it is not WiMax or 3G.

On WAN-1 port of the RV042, I have one Internet connection configured for static IP and it is working fine. Here, the WAN-1 port is fed by the ISP's ADSL modem which is configured in bridge mode.

On WAN-2 port of the RV042, I have connected the NEW Internet connection. Here, the WAN-2 port is wired to some kind of wireless device of the ISP which is placed on my terrace. I cannot configure the RV042 to connect to Internet through NEW ISP. They have provided me user-name and password but they don't work. In case of earlier ISP, it worked fine in WAN-2 with PPPoE with the old ISP's ADSL router in bridge mode.

In the case of the new Internet connection, when I connect it directly to my PC, it automatically directs me to a webpage: http://192.168.240.1/24online/webpages/client.jsp. Here I enter the username and password given to me and then works fine. But it doesn't work via my Linksys router.

My feeling is that the new ISP's router has to be set up in bridge mode and only then I can login to the network via my Linksys. Now if they do not allow me to do that, is there any way out for me?

Will it help if I setup my Linksys router in Router mode rather than Gateway mode? I can access the ADSL modem of ISP 1 and set that device back into router mode from bridge mode. The ISP2 is already in router mode. Would it work for me? If not, what needs to be done?

If the Linksys RV042 is running in router mode, what does it mean for Load balancing and giving preferential treatment to different clients?

Thanks

EDIT:

I also wanted to know if what I believe is right or not:

Linksys Router in Gateway Mode CONNECTED TO Bridged ADSL Modem/Router = Works fine (Static as well as PPPoE)

Linksys Router in Router Mode CONNECTED TO ADSL Modem/Router in Gateway Mode = SHOULD work fine (or not???)

A few weeks back my modem died so I purchased a D-Link DSL-2740B. After using the modem for a few days I've noticed that my download speed is about half of what it was with my Netcomm NB5PLUS4W.

I'm on a ADSL1 uncapped plan from Netspace. Previously I was able to download at speeds around 700KB/s. With the D-Link I can't get a download speed higher then 310KB/s.

I've ran a few speed tests and they all come back with the same result.

Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin (dB): 17.1 6.0
Attenuation (dB): 20.0 13.0
Output Power (dBm): 4.1 19.8
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 11744 480
Rate (Kbps): 8160 384

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with this modem??

Any sort of advice or help would be great.

Cheers.

edit: I got it working by turning off DHCP on the wireless router and connecting the routers by lan ports.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:38:07 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847758 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847642
My modem page says it failed to get the config from the tftp server, but everything else is ok, sync'd etc

I cant get hold of VM, I call up, follow the menu to tech support for broadband cable, but then it just gives an engaged tone, doesnt even give me the option to que, im guessing they are hammered.

the service status on their page http://status-cable.virginmedia.com/vmstatus/summary.do has broadband marked as Red, however ther eare no details at all in fact the text says there are no problems, calling the status number 0800 561 0061 also says there are no outages affecting me.


anyone else affected ? anyone got info ? this vodafone connection im on only gets gprs in my house, lol]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:07:50 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847642 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847422

Many thanks]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:10:49 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847422 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847288
Hence, i use tunnel proxy clients like Your-freedom and Proxyfier to use torrent softwares(bitcomet). The torrent works, except for the fact that the torrent client(bitcomet, in this case) shows the listening port i use (44221 in my case) to be blocked..
Now lets trace back as to what i know...



1. Your-freedom configures computer to receive connections from applications on my computer via the address localhost:1080

2. Your-freedom then searches for open ports on my firewall and directs outgoing traffic to that port.

3. The server my client connects to, requests as if it were requesting for its own system...

4. The information obtained is relayed back to my firewall via the open port, which reaches my system ..

(please rectify if there is anything wrong)...

According to this model, the listening port 44221 is blocked on my firewall, but not on the your-freedom server. Then why does bitcomet report it to be blocked?]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:20:49 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847288 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847202 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:23:06 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847202 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847166
I want to setup a webserver in my home. I want it to serve webpages, and also an FTP. I want to install it on a machine running XP.

What software do you suggest I use for this (prefer an all-in-one solution)

Thanks,

Donald]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:47:25 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847166 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847030
Now, my mother has been having printing troubles. She can't print anything in fact, everything that spools out is a blank page. BUT Zeus and Aries can print out beautifully on that printer over the network. The weird part about it is that Dana is connected to the printer via USB meaning I am printing through her computer with Zeus and Aries.

The printer is a Lexmark 8300 series (Link to Manufacturer).

I've never seen anything like this....any ideas?]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:12:20 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847030
