WRK54G + PC problem...

Druchii · 16-04-2006, 18:18

Ok, i'm sick of this now, i thought it would clear itself up, but, apparantly not.

Every few hours (8 or 9) my router suddenly starts denying connections to my PC's wirelessly,
and i have to reboot it to get it to work again. I've got 2 PC's and they both keep the connection to the router, just are being denied access to eachother, or the internet.

I've checked the event viewer for last nights dropouts and i'm shocked to see it littered with these -

Both PC's have these in the event log at roughly the same time. Which to me suggests a problem with the NAT translation withitn thr outer itself.

What can i do to resolve this?

First of all have a look in the router config see if the firewall log has anything... then check all the settings, change the Password, etc etc.

If it persists you might want to consider a hard-reset of the router and re-setting it up.

Actually, i've just found something online.
(And just turned logging on.. oops)

Can anyone identify this IP? 86.137.128.182:2335
I see alot of connections to it, every 20seconds or so.

The online thing tells me it traces all connections for upto 5days? Which would make it run out of memory, which, would also mean it would stop responding. Sound about right?

Info: The WRK54G is the WRT54G (just stripped down, one antenna, etc)

According to VisualRoute, it's actually a BT Broadband IP.

If it's causing problems, you could report it to abuse@btbroadband.com

Thankyou, oddly enough this has stopped happening now. No abuse from that IP since 3minutes ago

thankfully.

I don't beliefve it, this NAT problem is in fact the reneweing of the IP to my wireless connection, i have it set up to have a 12hour lease on the connection and IP. As the WRK54G doesn't allow static routing.

Just wrote a small script to run if you want to keep browsing the net... goes like this -

Code:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

RESOLVED AT LAST

Wrong resolvement to be honest, it seems to me it was just the router was rubbish. It wasn't faulty, just undoubtedly crap. Swapped and paid a tenner for a WRT54G v5, and never had a drop-out since
