LinkSys BEFSR81 and different IP Scheme? |
|
|
This is actually a two tiered problem.
I have to FTP some rather huge files to a friend who has an FTP server set
up on his DSL connection. When I was on Comcast on a Linksys BEFSR81
(older from before the Cisco buyout) I was able to FTP in with no problem,
start the transfer and go to bed. By morning it was just about done. Now
I moved out of that place, bought another BEFSR81, but this one is newer
and is branded with Cisco/Linksys. I can log into his FTP server with no
problems, but when i start the transfer, nothing goes. I go back to my
parents on Comcast and it works fine. But here I am on Prolog/ptd.net and
I get squat. I tried passive and normal. Then on IRC somebody set up his
ftp server and it worked perfectly with passive. I believe my friend has
a Linksys router as well - from what I understand two Linky's don't play
nice together.
Somebody suggested I change my static IP scheme for the internal (LAN)
side from the factory 192.168.1.xxx to 192.168.2.xxx. I tried that, BUT
once I do that the machien I changed no longer has connectivity. I didn't
touch the DNS, WINS, or gateway settings. Once I switch it back to the
1.xxx scheme all is well.
What the heck am I doing wrong? |
