When I go on Omegle.com I get all black screens for the stranger? I've been to a friends house with my laptop and Omegle works fine on his router. why wont my modem show the strangers webcam?
There could be a lot of reasons, one is port blocking, the other is firewall, there caould also be NAT port issues, what modem and internet provider do you have could be the problem.
SOURCE: wireless routers
Just plug the cable modem ethernet into the input to your router and you will be fine. Just remember, if you decide you want to make any changes to your router settings through your browser, make sure you hook up an ethernet line from your laptop to the router before making any changes. The reason for this is if you make a change in security settings on your router while wireless, the router will reboot and if your laptop did have the settings changed in it, you can be locked out.
Not that you can't get back in, but it is a pain to have to do.
SOURCE: Hi, I'm an idiot! PLEASE HELP
you may be suffering from mixed Cat 5 and Cat 6 cabling.
The wiring is slightly different and they don't work well when mixed in routers and modems etc. One or the other will work , but when they're mixed it'll do what you have going on here...
I would recommend wiring everything with cat 6 ethernet cabling. Look on your cable and you will find the labeling on the outer casing.
Testimonial: "Thank you for the advice! I did check and all the cabling is CAT5, so I just don't understand why there's a problem..."
