Mac Forum / General / Networking / May 2005D-Link 624+
Hi. I cannot access the Web-based configuration menu on my D-Link DI-624+ wireless router...I have tried IE 5.2, FFox 1.0.3, Opera 6, NScape 7.2 + few other browser. Once I managed to access it with Firefox, but suddenly DI-624+ stopped responding. I am on Mac OSX 10.3.9. I have checked every issue possible: connection was achieved, but pinging and access to the router configuration is denied. I have also reset the router a few times, but no good so far!! :( I am thinking of returning the product, and D-Link help line hasn't been able to tell me why this is happening -or a solution to the problem... Any ideas appreciated!!!=) Thanx. > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanx. I have a DI-624 wireless router and it's worked fine here. I'm able to access the web based settings windows under OSX 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 with various browsers. So maybe you got a broken one? HTH.. Entity Del Monaco uttered this profundity: > I cannot access the Web-based configuration menu on my D-Link DI-624+ > wireless router How long has it been up and running? It's very possible one of your neighbors has gotten in there and changed the IP address, username and password. Just do a hard reset and start from scratch. -- Gnarlie's Applescript page: http://Gnarlodious.com/Apple/AppleScript/ > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanx. Sounds like you need to do a Hard Reset on that box and start over. It isn't that hard to get one of these little routers firware Wrapped Around the Axle. Me Thanx for the various ideas.. I have hard reset quite a few times!! Still, no good!! I have downloaded the updated firmwares but I don't know how I can flash them into the router given I have no acess to it. It could be that a neighbour might have interfered, but still, the hard reset isn't doing the job...and it hasn't been up and running at all!! Anyway, I am thinking of returning the product -may be a broken one, as Milton said. Anymore guesses as to why this is happening are welcome!! =) Again, thnx for your help. Hey Guys!!! Well, I've exchanged the product and now I've configured it...but I still can't get the wireless connection going..=( My idea is to have just a PB G4 connected to the router, with no other computer on the network as well...at the moment the airport card connects to the network(default) but can't get status for it or let me connect to the internet. Any ideas? Thanx!! > Hey Guys!!! > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanx!! Can your Powerbook G4 browser connect to the router's web admin interface via WiFi? If you can do this, then the WiFi portion works. Can any computer in your home connect to the internet when attached to the router via ethernet cable? This will tell you if your router is actually connecting to the internet. If not, then check via the router's admin interface check to see if it is connecting. Check if your ISP requires PPPoE connection. Has your router received an IP address from the ISP. Does it have DNS addresses assigned? If access to the internet is known to work and WiFi is known to work, then it is only a matter of figuring out why the WiFi connection is not making to the internet. In a situation like this, the one most common reason is because the DNS addresses are not being seen by the Powerbook. One thing to try is to use IP addresses as a test. 17.112.152.32 - apple 64.233.161.99 - google 66.35.250.151 - slashdot If this works, then try manually entering the DNS addresses for your ISP into System Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> DNS. You can enter up to 3 DNS addresses. Generally you can use the router's admin interface to see the DNS addresses assigned by the ISP after the router has connected to the ISP. Most Cable/DSL routers allow you to specify the router's IP address as a DNS address. Bob Harris Firstly, Thanx Bob!! The problem was actually DHCP. I assigned a DHCP manually and I think the router had other plans for my wireless card's IP!! =) I am now having problems with the network in other rooms of the house. No plumbing, etc..only going through two 5" plain walls...suddenly, though wireless network status seem ok, internet connection is lost... Will look more into it, but, if you have any ideas config is D-Link DI-624+ and PBook G4 airport extreme card, OSX 10.3.9...ok? Thanx to all. > Firstly, Thanx Bob!! The problem was actually DHCP.

Today's macfixit.com report has a little note on the problem of the D-Link 624 dropping the Internet connection. Although it is referring to Tiger, the workaround may work in Panther. Cathy  Signature"there's a dance or two in the old dame yet." - mehitabel C.Stevenson, M.D. cats1921@invalidsonic.net Hi Cathy. Thanks for the tip. I did look around macfixit, but only found an article referring to shortening the computer name to avoid connection drop outs. Well, I have to say, firstly that comes across as a bit 'misterious'!! =) Knonw what I mean??=) And also my computer has already got a very short name -one word, a lot less than 20 characters!! =) Did I read the right topic/post? Anyway, from what I've researched it's probably a problem with signal levels -factory standard is 2dBi, and I probably need 5 or 6!! Not sure yet if that is the problem, but I am buying an antenna anyways.... Thanx again. Hello to others! > Hi Cathy. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanx again. Hello to others! You read the right post. Today's report says that the computer name they tried was less than 6 letters. It seems mighty strange, but.... Cathy Signature"there's a dance or two in the old dame yet." - mehitabel C.Stevenson, M.D. cats1921@invalidsonic.net Cathy, I'm glad I had read the right one...=) My computer's name has 4 letters, so, this is bull....;-) But, of course, might work for some...who is to say magic does not exist, ha? =) Thnx nevertheless....buying the gain antenna today. Cheers. > Cathy, I'm glad I had read the right one...=) > My computer's name has 4 letters, so, this is bull....;-) But, of > course, might work for some...who is to say magic does not exist, ha? > =) > Thnx nevertheless....buying the gain antenna today. > Cheers. Re the computer´s name, you might also take a look at files /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf If the system software uses these files (and it may, even if alternatives have been set in Airport Extreme and the router) you can run into glitches if things are not quite right. And Unix/Linux does not like computer names with spaces in them. OS X may share the same animus in some circumstances. Cheers! jim b. SignatureUnix is not user-unfriendly; it merely expects users to be computer-friendly. jim b. I agree with " Unix is not user-unfriendly; it merely expects users to be computer-friendly". =) Apart from that, not much else that I can say....haven't found any of the things you mentioned on my Mac. I also keep computer names very simple, but thanks about the info...I think my case of connection drop out, is merely due to very thick walls with concrete in them...=) Cheers. |
