I am having problems connecting to some applications and sites (mainy ventrilo v3.0.4). I called my ISP and they said that our router (a Netgear rangemax wirless router, model WPN824 v2) is in bridge mode and may affect it, but I do not know how to fix this problem. I am physically wired to my router on the desktop computer, and i heard bridge mode was for wireless, so I need to know how to fix this.

PPPoe shouldn't effect it. You can however ask your ISP to Bridge your port and then you will have to bridge your modem. This is one way to bypass. What is the error message that you are getting? What setup do you have ie: hardwired modem with wireless router, modem only, or combo modem and router in one device? If the error message that you are getting with the wii ask for your PPPoe info you should ask your ISP what your Username and password is for the PPPoe setup. Hope that helps

Here's the right script to tell them: >"i'm calling in to ask help in setting my Verizon Provided modem to Bridged Mode."

you need to configure the dsl modem to be on bridge mode after you did it successfully. that is the time you configure your d-link for you to connect to the internet.
call first your ISP to configure the modem to Bridge mode after that call your manufacturer of the dlink for them to configure your connection
what is the model of your modem? if you said that you are able to get online when your computer is hooked up to the modem only, then it indicatest that your modem is not yet in bridge mode. Putting it in bridge mode will make your modem a "pass through" device thereby causing no conflicts in asking for ip add/connecting to your ISP. when your modem is in bridge mode, you should not be able to get online.
after setting your modem to bridge mode, connect your linksys router. if you have a pppoe connection, or one that uses username and password, have that set up in your linksys router. at this point, your router will be the one to ask ip adds from your ISP.
you could also visit this site, http://www-ph.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C1&childpagename=PH/Layout&cid=1166859677881&pagename=Linksys/Common/VisitorWrapper&lid=7788193882H13, for further configuration of your router. as for your modem, try to call your ISP on how to set your modem to bridge.
I would first try to connect to other ventrilo servers on other ports. Make sure it's not your vent program. Next I would make sure you are not having issue with your windows firewall or a third-party firewall (Symantec/Norton/McAfee etc). Disable them temporarily to test. Because you can not connect via telnet tells me something is blocking your port. How about the router/firewall? Is it new? If so, try replacing it with a known good one.
Hi Nitangel Before proceeding with modem installation you need to gather your connection details from your Internet Provider. You will need to know or find out the following information about your new ADSL connection from your Internet Service Provider:
Connection Type: PPPoE PPPoA Bridge RFC1483 Default IP address: 10.1.1.1 (USB 10.1.1.2) Username: admin Password: admin · Username / password (PPP connections only) · IP address / Subnet Mask / Default Gateway (Bridge connections only) · DNS IP Addresses (optional)
To set up, log into the modem using your WEB browser: type http://10.1.1.1 in the address bar and press Enter. Enter username 'admin' and password 'admin' (default setting).
Go to Quick Configuration page. Set Refresh Rate to "No Refresh".
If it is a PPPoE or PPPoA CONNECTION: Select Operation Mode: PPP. In the Connection Type drop-down menu select PPPoE or PPPoA profile. Enter username and your password. Select CHAP under Authentication Type (check with your ISP if not sure).
If it is a BRIDGED RFC1483 CONNECTION: Select Operation Mode: Bridge. If you do not see "Bridge" options please update your modem's firmware at http://www.dlink.com.au/tech/ Select LLC or VC Mux as suggested by your provider.
Make sure your VPI/VCI is set according to your ISP requirements: Click on "Save & Reboot" to save settings.
Then give modem a minute or two to reboot and reconnect. Restart your computer and you should be able to access the Internet.
You do not have to run any login client on your computer or router because your modem logs to your ISP automatically. Hope this information helps if I can help further let me know.
Hi
I am try to take a stab at answering your query.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address preceeding with "169" means your PC is not receiving IP Address "generally" from your Boradband Modem or Internet Service Provider (ISP). The PC through Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing (APIPA) is assigning itself a temporal IP address.
This conditions means either 1. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client service is not running properly on your PC (Unlikely) 2. There is no connection between your PC and Broadband Device or ISP wired or wirelessly (very likely) 3. DHCP Server Service is not configured or not running on Boardband device (likely) or ISP (unlikely) 4. Some firewall software when improperly configured are known to block all ports and services. This can block TCP Ports 67 and 68 used by DHCP Client/Server communication (quite likely)
Some pointers for more info; 1. Your query suggest your issues are limited to Wireless connection. Can you access Internet through wired connection? If so; a) What Wired connection is in use? USB or Ethernet? b) Is wired connection through same Broadband device? c) What IP is assigned to your PC in wired connection? d) If wired connection works, is IP assignment static or by DHCP? e) What Boardband device is in use? In which mode is the device set to? Router/Bridge
2. If you can't connect both wired and wireless, then it is unlikely your PC hardware is at fault. Call your Broadband Provider for further help and configuration. Try entily disabling your firwall software (if installed) and test conection.
3. If you can connect through wired connection and your IP Address does not proceed with "192.168" or "172.16" then your boadband device is likely in a bridge mode. In bridge mode, the DHCP Server Service on your boardband device is disabled. Most ISPs will only assign only one IP address to a user. If an IP address has been assigned to your PC on the wired connection, then the wireless connection will not receive an IP address and therefore your PC will assign itself an IP in the range "169.254"
