Hey guys, I am having some trouble trying to set up my laptop to connect to the net via my wireless router. I can access the net when I plug the laptop straight into the modem, but when I plug the modem into the router, and then into the laptop - no go.

I am not getting the internet light lit up on the router, so I only get a local connection. I am wondering is there some configuration I need to do, or is there an IP address issue?

Any help would be appreciated, if you need more info just ask and I'll try and find it!

Thanks - Jase

You will need to do some setting I would have thought.

Try login into your router with IE. Type 192.168.1.1 to access it. Normally login is admin and password is admin by default. You should change the password asap. When you're in, have a poke around, it shouldnt be too hard.

So you connection is telephone line->modem->router->laptop?

1st make sure that the connections are correct then set your modem to bridge mode 1st then do the set up on router (the wizard setup where you enter the user name & password for your ISP).

Go into your router and turn off DHCP and leave it turned on on the modem... Often if both devices have DHCP turned on they are both trying to assign everyone's IP addy's and conflict... this is a common problem

2nd Go into your router and check your settings for your wireless... make sure its turned on etc =P

Model numbers specifically (for the Belkin Router)

Sounds to me like you don't even need the modem.

There is little point in running a router and modem, i cannot think of any use for it in a home setting.

He might not need the router.. but if he is not into modem/router configs the OEM settings from is ISP on his modem would best be left as it and just have it assign IP's and serve the internet to the router which does all the networking...

Oh, you've bought a standard router *and* a separate modem.

What most people do is buy an ADSL router OR a cable modem router.

I bought a Billion 7300G from MSY which does ASDL2, wireless and 4 port routing.

I can't think of an easy way to do router + modem unless you connect your modem to the computer, your computer to the router, and allow other computers to connect through that modem when the computer is running....

Or he got the modem free...

Let us know how you went Jase with the DHCP settings.... most of the time if a modem and router are in the same network the only reason they dont work together is because they are both trying to act gateway and IP assigner...

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
