Now You Have a Streamyx

8/7/2019 Now You Have a Streamyx

1/12

Now you have a Streamyx/broadband connection at your home. However all that bandwidth isgoing to waste since you can't share it with your notebook, your PDA (i.e. Clie TJ-37, ClieNX80V/G with PEGA WL-100) and other wifi capable devices in your house. The only thingyou need to buy is a wireless access point (AP) to share the broadband access.

The only thing for you to decide is whether you want fast access (54MBps) or standard/enhancedaccess (11/22 MBps). If you want fast access, go for 802.11g access point, else go for 802.11baccess point. Since the price difference is so little, I would recommend going for 802.11g.

I would like to recommend the following models since I find them easy to configure and quiteeasy to maintain;- For 802.11b (B) - D-Link DI-714P+- For 802.11g (G) - D-Link DI-724P+

Setting It Up - HardwareInitially your PC is connected directly to the Streamyx ADSL modem via the network card/port.

Now we are going to put the wireless AP in-between the ADSL modem and the PC.

Shutdown both the PC & ADSL modem. Then remove the network cable from behind the PC (itoriginates from the ADSL modem) and connect it the the WAN port of the wireless AP. Take the

network cable supplied with the wireless AP, insert one end into any of the LAN port on thewireless AP and the other into the network card/port on the PC.

Start the ADSL modem, followed by the wireless AP. Then start up your PC.

Setting It Up - Configuring the APOnce the PC is running, switch on your web browser. On the URL box, enter "http://192.168.0.1" and press enter (may differ for different products.RTFM).

You can use the wizard to set it up. Basically you need to set the WAN page to the following configuration;

- select PPPoE- select Dynamic PPPoE- your username "youraccount@streamyx" i.e. "palmx@streamyx"- your password. If you do not know your password (since everything was done by the technician), chances are that it is still the default password,which is "tmnet123". Please change it ASAP. If you don't know how, RTFM.- no need to configure the DNS. However, if you want to, it is 202.188.0.132 and 202.188.1.5.

- set it to "connect on demand" if you do not want it to connect to Streamyx 24/7.- click the "Apply" button.

Now test whether your desktop PC can connect to the Internet or not. Just open the browser and surf to any site, i.e.http://www.palmx.org. Ifyou can connect, then the settings are correct, else check your username and password.

For the wireless page, just set the SSID name to something familiar to you. For mine, I set it to drtamil. You can set yours to palmx, dukeair orwhatever. Leave the wireless security settings for the time being. We need to see whether you can connect your notebook to your wireless AP first.

Get your notebook to scan for wireless access. Select your SSID and connect to it. You should be able to surf on the Internet now using yournotebook. If not, check the TCP/IP configuration of the wi-fi card on your notebook. It should be configured for dynamic IP.

Setting It Up - Securing the AccessRight now anybody can park outside your house and surf the Internet at your expense. Therefore you may want to secure it. There are manyavailable configurations for this, just read the freaking manual (RTFM) that comes with the wireless AP. The easiest method (but not the safest) isto use WEP.

Switch on your web browser. On the URL box, enter "http://192.168.0.1" and press enter (may differ for different products. RTFM). Don't forget toreset the password for administering the wireless AP to prevent it from being hijacked by outsiders.

Now click on the wireless page and set the following;

- security; WEP - encryption; 64 bit (can set higher)- key mode; ASCII (can choose HEX also)- WEP Key 1; choose 5 alphabetical and numeric characters and enter it here. Best to use a mix of both.- apply the settings.

By now you'll notice that your notebook can no longer access the Internet. Just click the wireless settings on your notebook and select WEP. Thenenter the key that you entered on your wireless AP.

Now your notebook can browse the Internet again. You have to do the same for all your wi-ficapable devices in your house.

Have fun trying it out!!!This article is dedicated to

Before we can forward ports for BitTorrent, we should set the ports that BitTorrent uses. Hereis a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up BitTorrent.

In the menu at the top of your screen, click the View link. Then in the list of options that dropsdown click the Settings option.

A new window should have poped up that looks like the picture above. There are a few tabs atthe top of this window, click the Networktab.

The number in the starting at port box tells BitTorrent where you start looking for open ports.BitTorrent works it's way up from that port number until it finds a port that is open. Every portthat BitTorrent has to check takes time. So it would be a good idea to forward the port that youenter into the Starting at Port box. Many ISPs block ports in the 6000 range. Please choose aport between 10000 and 60000 then enter it into the Starting at Port box. Then enter that port

If you plan on downloading multiple files at the same time via BitTorrent, you need to open upone port for each file. This guide will show you how to open up one port for each file. If youchose to put port 12540 into the Starting at Port box and wanted to have five files going at thesame time, you should forward ports 12540 to 12544.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take alook at ourStatic IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished settingup a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in theStatic IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Enter Static

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router inthe address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar hashttp://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. Bydefault the ip address should be set to 10.0.0.138.
