Fedora Cannot Connect To Xfinity Router

[Jack.EXE]

I recently acquired an older Pentium D system with a dead hard drive, so I bought a refurb Corsair F60 & installed fedora linux on it.

 

so my problem is, while I can connect to my ASUS RT-66R router, and connect to the internet (which daisy chains through the Xnfinity one), if I connect directly to the Xfinity router (which I need to in order to port forward my MC server) it cant connect.

 

This is on Fedora 20 LXDE 32bit

 

 

Anyone got a solution?

 

This is ethernet By the way.

Have you tried it with a wire?

So dchp forward the 2nd router so the computer is getting its ip from the xfinity one

That is because it is friend zoned....

sooo would that allow me to port forward my server even if it's going through 2 routers?

[Fullmetal1212]

Your pc would be getting its ip from the xfinity router. And just turn your second routers firewall off as its internal

so how would I do that? I am very, very new to networking

[Fullmetal1212]

You go into the settings page for your second router. Change dchp mode to forwarder. And the firewall settings off .

What router is it

RT66R, would It require me to be on the server to do this?

[Fullmetal1212]

Just need admin password and access to the router

Just need admin password and access to the router

access to the second router, right?

[Fullmetal1212]

Yea

Youll need the ip of the first router

Subnet of the first router.

So you can set the second router to the next number in line for ip subnet would be the same. Then change to dhcp forwarder. And then turn the firewall off. I would reccomend you backup your old settings woth the router or write them down incase you want to change back. I can be of more help when im at my computer but that wont be till later

the problem is, the first router refuses the connection of anything other than the second router, so I cant get the ips

Have you tried 30.30.30ing the first router?

[Jack.EXE]

Have you tried 30.30.30ing the first router?

 

uhm, no

[Xsilent(X)]

maybe this can help?

 

sudo or yum dhclient -v -r eth0
sudo or yum dhclient -v eth0

 

or this

 

/etc/init.d/network restart

 

 

if not we go further.

what does that do exactly?

what does that do exactly?

 

 

gives you an ip adress from the router and the second one renews turns of and on the network adapter of your pc.

[Jack.EXE]

I restarted the router, and I could connect the server, but then my secondary router couldnt connect, so then I restarted again and I'm back to square 1...

did you tried my code in the terminal?

and set your second router to have a standerdgateway with a ipadres like the first router has like 192.168.0.1 then the gateway on your second one has to be 192.168.0.50 or even beter 192.168.0.100 maybe you have a ipconflict between both routers. they will send the same standerdgateway ipadresses. if default configs, and i asuming they ar both routers and not one router and switch...

so how do I find the IP of the first router though?

[Xsilent(X)]

you must be connected to it! then connect to your second one and change the settings.
