Subject :After disconnecting node and re-connecting internet, computer doesn't see internet
Hi all, First post here and am new to broadband hamnet. My problem is this: After finishing work on my node and disconnecting it from my computer, I re-connect my internet using an ethernet cable and my computer does not detect the internet. I have to reboot in order for my internet to work again. I'm using windows 7 on verizon fios.
A little more background may help. After flashing my linksys router, I could not access the admin page using http://localnode:8080 (or any other address). Then, my friend came over with his laptop. He was able to get into my node right away using http://localnode:8080. After he logged into my node on his computer, we verified that all the settings were the same on my admin page as his- and they were. So, it was a mystery as to why I couldn't log into my node using my laptop. The only way I was eventually able to log into my own node was after he had connected to my node. We reconnected my node to my laptop and all of a sudden http://localnode:8080 worked. But, the problem with not being able to reconnect to the internet as I detailed above remains.
Any ideas on what is causing these two, possibly related, problems?
Thanks, Tim K6TW |
