http://serverfault.com – I have iBall 150M Extreme Wireless N Router. I am trying to connect my internet through this router. I configured it correctly (using quick configuration) as per my knowledge using static IP Address. But When I plugged in WAN cable in to WAN (Blue) Port. It is not showing me LED ON for WAN on Router. I Said I configured it correctly because it worked for me once and then when I switched off my modem and router then it never worked. I plugged same cable in to my Laptop and it is working perfectly. Also, I tried with 2 routers (both are same make and model). I am connected with modem. In R (HowTos)

I know I set up the wireless router correctly because it worked with my previous modem.

have a DSL modem setup with 192.168.1.1 local IP. Everything working fine. Then have a linksys wireless router that I have connected to the DSL modem. I have enabled DHCP on the wireless router, and have assigned 192.168.107.1 IP address to this router, with 255.255.255.0 as the mask.

There is a main WLAN-router/modem which is connected to the internet and serves the lower floor with WLAN. Now upstairs I have a second WLAN-router/modem (I will call it router two from now on).

I have very little understanding (ok no technical ability so be gentle)

Ubuntu 10.10 connects to a DSL modem without any problems - I mean I just plugged it in and it worked - GREAT

I bought a wireless router so I could connect my netbook and now my Ubuntu machine which is simply using a cable from the wireless router now DOES NOT connect.

I tried a windows machine on the wired connection from

I currently have an Airport Extreme connected directly to my cable modem but have been wondering if I should actually connect direct to my proxy server first. The reason I am asking is because I run multiple web servers for web hosting and I have a proxy server setup that directs traffic to the appropriate computer based on domain names.

The two wireless #!
