1. How to get a numeric URL (Off-Topic, maybe)
Hi all.
What I want to do is, for example, given http://www.foo.com, get
the corresponding numeric info such as: 203.232.16.14
Maybe there is an EU program to do that, or there is a simple way to
achieve the same goal, inside Windows guts.
I recently bought a router for cable and aerial LAN, and still can't
connect to Internet using a cable modem (when not using the router, the
modem can access Internet with no problem). I wonder if this is due
to problems with the DNS, and want to check this by trying a numeric URL.
Regards.

Use the ping utility in Windows
OPen the command line and type: ping foo.com
you will get the IP.
Or nslookup foo.com

Unplug everything and turn off the computer. Wait 5 minutes. Plug in
the cable modem. Plug in the router. Turn on the computer. I've had to
do this to several people's systems due to the same issue. It should
work.

Many thanks, akusaya and Greg.
ping worked perfectly, aku.
Greg: Unplugging, etc. didn't work.
But I found it is definitely a problem with the DNS server(s).
If I type for example http://www.google.com, I receive a "page not found"
message. However, 72.14.207.99 works. http://www.rapideuphoria.com doesn't
work, but 38.113.244.13 connects with addr.com, the hosting of EU, I suppose.
The router I am using is a NOGA NET TWL108R, and it has a WAN port, 4 LAN
ports by network cable, and a wireless antenna. I still did not try the
wireless connection from another PC, because I prefer getting cable
connection OK first.
There is an option in the router configuration to set DNS addresses. I tried
209.173.53.162 and 200.16.98.2 with no avail.
The help I'm requesting now is:
1) If some of you own the same router make/type, plese tell me how to
configure it. Also, which are the right Internet options.
2) Some DNS server addresses to try.
Regards.

Richard:
Go to your to the WEB SERVICE that you use; at
that site you should find a support web page that gives
the correct DNS server address to use.

Thanks, Bernie. But still no luck. My ISP (server???) denies this type of
information.

Hi,
All ISP’s distribute the IP addresses to their DNS servers, that is public
domain information. But you do not have to enter that information in your
router if you are using Cable, it should receive that information
automatically.
1.Reset your Router.
2.Unplug your router and leave it off for about a minute.
3.Connect your cable modem directly to your computer without the router.
4.Check to see if you have normal internet activity while connected directly to
your modem.
5.If all works fine reconnect your router to your modem.
6.Open control panel and then click Network Connections.
7.Click the connection associated with your router/modem (It should be Local
Area Connection)
8.Click properties and then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
9.Make sure everything is set to Obtain Automatically.
10.Now access your router’s control panel.
11.Make sure it is set to obtain IP address automatically.
12.Now click DHCP release. Wait a few minutes then click DHCP RENEW.
That should do it….

Many thanks. Bad luck. Still not working. Will try tomorrow again.

Hi, C Bouzy.
Still no luck. When connected, everything is OK, except that
both DNS are 0.0.0.0
Any idea?
Thanks.
10. Re: How to get a numeric URL (Off-Topic, maybe)
No idea why your DNS information is not updating. Have a cable tech come
out and check it for you.

If your router is also a cable modem, you may need to inform your ISP that you
are using it, and what its MAC address is. Otherwise their network will not allow
it to connect.
If you are still using the cable modem, and it works when you connect the
computer directly to it but not when you connect the router to it, then I have no
idea what is going on.

At last I succeeded in my effort to make the router work.
I used winipcfg to get the host and domain names, and also
the DNS servers for my PC when directly
connected to the modem. Then I went to the Control Panel, Network,
DNS config, and there I entered the host and domain names and the two
addresses of the DNS servers, and it worked!
My router is not a cable modem, but it connects to the one provided
by my ISP through a net cable.
After that, I attempted connecting another PC through a wireless card.
Everything seems to be working properly (the driver correctly detects
the channel used by my router; the signal strength is 85% and its quality
is 99%), but I cannot connect because I always get FCS errors.
The SSID from my router is "Default", and the wireless card driver scans
for signals and rapidly gets this "Default" SSID.
Any idea about what is happening?
Many thanks in advance.

I'm really not too good at networking yet; I don't know what an FCS error is. I
know that I haven't yet succeeded in getting my laptop to network with my desktop
through my wireless router/cable modem. I plan on researching it one day, but so
far it is not a big deal. I can access the internet through both computers so
that is what is important.

Also, if you are using wireless, you might look into some basic security
measures such as changing the default SSID, turning off SSID broadcast, and
encryption.
I'm using WEP encryption. I think there is a more secure method, but I can't
remember what it is called as my router doesn't seem to support it.
But you want to prevent others from accessing your network.
Another thing to consider is setting which MAC addresses can access your router.
Even though intruders can spoof MAC addresses, it is yet another lock on your
door.
That's about all I've got.

Did you try wired with a crossover cable?
I that works then you know you software is ok.

Well, it might be better if he did that. But I guess that he is a part of the
community and feels more comfortable asking the questions here first. If he can't
get a quick answer here then of course he should seek it out elsewhere.

Hi, Jason.
Can you recommend to me a forum dedicated to networks, especially wireless ones?

Umm. No. Sorry.
Google is your friend, though. My home network does "good enough", but I still
need to do my own research to make it better.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of network knowledge.
