ISP block internal traffic?

Laugh.

LOL come on man...it hasnt blocked the internal traffic as I can send and receive files fine from one to the other comp, but I cant get internet working to the second computer.

So why don't you just say who your ISP is? I doubt that you're the only one using them, and if others here who are on the same ISP aren't having any issues (and I seriously suspect that will be the case) then it's not your ISP -- as, it seems, many have tried to tell you since the start. So who's the ISP?

Third year student in telecommunications, and yet they haven't taught you to pick up the phone and speak to an ISP to ask a simple question? I despair!

Well I am totally not shocked by this.

Its what I have come to expect from people on the net... thinking they know everything. People on here are trying to help and everytime someone makes a suggestion you dismiss it.

There is no way that your isp is going to inspect every packet of data to see how many machines are using your connection.

Therefore this is either:

a ) hardware issue

b ) user error

I suspect the latter.

Who is your ISP for starters?

Yeah, man I wish it worked even if I use a router.

comp2 had this ip:

What IP? What is it about giving even the hint of info -- so we can help you? You have yet to give us the MODEL NUMBER of your modem device.. for all we know its a gateway doing nat? and not a modem at all. Your stepping on it lan IP with the IP of the of ICS interface, etc..

Lets assume some stuff, your modem is not a gateway.. So you were/are using ICS.. the ip of comp1 nic1 would be some public ip

comp1-nic1

ip: public

netmask: whatever

gateway: public

dns: ISP dns

This computer works.

comp1-nic2 (ICS interface)

ip: 192.168.0.1

netmask: 255.255.255.0

comp2

ip: 192.168.0.2

netmask: 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.0.1

dns: 192.168.0.1

From comp2 you can ping the ICS interface?

Can you ping the PUBLIC IP address of your machine?

Can you ping the Gateway IP of your Public Interface from computer2

Can you ping some outside IP address? Resolve the IP from comp1 and then try to ping it on comp2, etc

As already mentioned - it just may be a dns issue? Without some info to work with - no one can help you.

I would forget ICS, you have a router.. take a few minutes and set it up! Shutoff your modem, connect your router.. Boot up the modem, then turn on yoru router. Connect to its Lan interface.. does it get a WAN IP from your isp? If not - clone the machine that works MAC.. shutdown the modem and router, and try again.

I Thank you BudMan and I thank everybody else for their inputs.

I just got back from gym...Im gonna give it a try a bit later and I'll let you know if it worked or not. http://www.ipko.net is my ISP, my modem is webstar DPC 2100, I dont own a public IP, what else to tell...anyway I'll try again a bit later and see what happens.

Umm, maybe you don't actually own a public IP, but the public IP is your external IP, your Internet IP. You do have one otherwise you'd never get online ...

Didn't work!

Here is the pic of comp1's configuration:

@BudMan

Can you ping the PUBLIC IP address of your machine? Yes, from the comp2 I can ping the"server IP" in this issue, and I can ping the 192.168.0.1 fine.

The comp2's configuration is:

IP:192.168.0.2

Sub.mask:255.255.255.0

Gateway:192.168.0.1

Prefered DNS server:192.168.0.1

Alternate DNS server: I left it blank

And the interesting thing is that when I open from comp2 IE say google.com it finds the site saying "the webside found. Waiting for reply..." but after a while it just shows the page can not be displayed!

EDIT: I also tried pinging 66.6.66.6 from the comp2 but it gave me request timed out!

Not the Computer, check the Wan interface within the web interface of your router! it should have a public IP. Your computers get a private address so they are picking up the correct address. READ budmans posts! he explains everything greatly!

So in summary of what he said IF you are using a ROUTER NOT ICS. If ICS, reference back to budmans post.

You connect your modem to the WAN interface on router. Then connect comp1 to the LAN. Turn off the router and modem. Turn on the modem. Then turn on the Router. Access the router by http://192.168.0.1

Then check the WAN interface if he has an ip. If not, clone the Mac address from comp1. You can get the mac address of comp1 by typing ipconfig /all. write down the 16 hexidecimal number and then access your router from above address and find where to clone the mac address. Then turn off modem and router, turn on modem, then router. Check WAN IP again. You will NOT get internet if you are not getting the IP from your ISP.

Your computers will get addresses from a dhcp pool of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.254 as you can see from your comp1. comp2 will probaly get 192.168.0.3.

192.168.0.1 is your router. if you can ping that, you know you can connect to the router.

First off let me say I think your correct in addressing what the problem is.however you are incorrect about 1 thing. an isp can and does inspect all data coming from a certain account. example ive done security work for time warner cable they are able to tell how many modems are connected in your house whether time warner owns them or not if your running routers. how many, how many computers in your house are connected to the net, they know if your running servers and how many people are connected to your connection or server. they usually dont see what files are being uploaded or downloaded but they can if they wish to with little more investigation. they can see how much bandwidth your using up and down and without much effort they will know if your file sharing etc. they can aslo tell you what i.ps or websites that are visited in a certain time frame and how long you were there etc.and it doesn't matter what firewalls hardware or software your using they know if they choose too.

they usually dont do these things unless there is reports of something or unusual activity on your account. but they can.just like we can look at your account and tell you what channel your watching at that exact moment if you watched pay per view etc if you ff or rewound paused etc. this isnt public knowlede and they instruct employees not to tell the customer unless they ask point blank. but these things can and are done.

So, let's just say it clear.

You have COMP1 connected to the internet. Your modem is connected to COMP1 via NIC1.

Then, at the same time, COMP1 is connected to COMP2 via NIC2.

COMP1-COMP2 are on a LAN, and COMP1-MODEM are on an LAN too.

Am I right?

yeah you are right.

  ZOR said:

yeah you are right.

So, you have an internal IP for nic1 and another internal IP for nic2. I suppose the modem also has an internet IP, which is the gateway.

If that is the case, then:

1) bridging both nics so that comp2 can directly interact with the modem may not be a solution, unless the modem is already prepared to handle several computers. I guess nowadays all modems have NAT and stuff, but you can never be sure.

2) Using xp's built-in feature of sharing your internet connection. I have no experience with this, but I suppose this would turn COMP1 into a gateway COMP2 could use to access the internet?

  ZOR said:

i dont have shown gateway IP, but i can ping my WAN IP.

By WAN IP you mean the external IP that I could ping too from my computer?

If COMP2 can ping external IPs then it can be a DNS problem. Have u tried accesing any webpage by the IP?

  ZOR said:

Didn't work!

What didn't?? You gave us no details of what you tried - did you try hooking up the router? Your on a PPPoE connection - then you will have to setup your router with your login info for it to work.

How exactly is your modem connected? USB? Your nic1 shows limited or not connectivity..

Internet didnt work in comp2. I didnt try hooking up the router. I tried only the method of sharing internet connection through NIC2 to comp2.

My modem is connected to NIC1 eventhough it shows limited or no connectivity the internet works fine!

    • These are the Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 by Aditya Tiwari Apple has announced the latest operating system upgrade for its smartwatch lineup, called watchOS 26, not watchOS 12, as many expected a while ago. The Cupertino giant has unified the software experience across its platforms by introducing the "Liquid Glass" software design and renaming all the operating systems to version 26. That said, the next question is which Apple Watch models will support watchOS 26. Apple has shared the official list of devices: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch Ultra Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Series 8 Apple Watch Series 7 Apple Watch Series 6 Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) The upcoming Apple Watch update brings several new features to your wrist. Liquid Glass design gives a fresh look to the UI with updated Control Center and translucent buttons within apps. It's new Workout Buddy feature can use an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone nearby to provide personalized, spoken motivation during workouts. Building on the Double Tap feature, you can now flick your wrist to perform actions like muting incoming calls, silencing timers, and dismissing notifications when your hands are full. It is available on Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 (or later). watchOS 26 is currently available for testing through the Apple Developer Program. It will roll out to general users during the fall season, when Apple is expected to refresh the Ultra and SE models. Note that your Apple Watch must be paired with an iPhone 11 (or later) or iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) running iOS 26. While the list of Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 remains the same, it won't work with iPhone Xs/Xs Max and iPhone Xr, which were previously supported on watchOS 11. You can check out the respective lists of supported devices for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe.
    • Galaxy Z Fold7 to be the thinnest and lightest foldable from Samsung by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar A few days ago, Samsung shared an official teaser of their upcoming premium foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold7. Interestingly, the company titled the official post, "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra," giving birth to a new rumor about a new "Ultra" foldable. The teaser highlighted Galaxy Z Fold7's tall and wide design, which previous rumors have suggested. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is also expected to come with a bigger display compared to the Galaxy Z Fold6. There were also rumors that Samsung could use a titanium backplate for improved durability and also make the device slim. Now, Samsung has shared a new teaser of the Galaxy Z Fold7 that adds a bit a weight to this rumor. Samsung has called the Galaxy Z Fold7 the "thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet." While the company didn't share any measurements or metrics that would define how thin or light the upcoming foldable is, the GIF shows the Galaxy Z Fold7 from the side (and it appears quite thin). Take a look for yourself: It would be safe to say that Samsung has been lacking in terms of making its foldable devices slim, even reducing the display crease. Though the company launched the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition in China and Korea last year, which was their slimmest phone, it was nowhere near the likes of the OPPO Find N5. In terms of innovation as well, the company is far behind, and Chinese makers such as Huawei have already released the world's first triple-folding phone, the Mate XT. On the positive side, Samsung claimed that their "engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter, and more durable than the last," suggesting that the company could bring improvements with this year's foldable. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to launch next month, in New York, in the second Unpacked event of the year, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7. There are also rumors that the affordable version of the flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also launch at the event.
    • I think Sequoia will be the last stop for my old 2012 Mac mini (with 16GB RAM & 512MB SSD). It runs Sonoma OK, so perhaps Sequoia will work well too. I don't have high hopes for Tahoe, however - that looks to be a GPU-intense OS.
