Re: Intermittent network sharing problem

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Kaye,

You mention you had this Network setup working prior to a couple of weeks ago, 
what changed at that time?

There is another device handing our IP Addresses - its as though you have 2 
devices acting as Routers.
The Telstra pre-paid 4G USB modem (ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM) IP 192.168.0.1
The EDUP business portable wireless partner (EP-2908) IP 192.168.2.1

What is the setup of the EDUP business portable wireless partner (EP-2908)?
And how is it connected?

I’m confused with how your Network is actually setup.

Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Marcus,
I think I will update my wife’s iPhone 5 again just to be sure.

 Hi Marcus
 
 Macrumors has blog article “Apple temporarily pulls iOS 9.3 for older iOS 
 devices” so your conclusion sounds spot on.  A new iOS version is expected 
 in next few days.

All that is true for me, but I've just booted up one of the old machines and 
checked it out:

IPv4 uses DHCP
IPv4 address 192.168.2.xx
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.2.1

Right now I have manually set the DNS server to 192.168.0.1 and it is working. 
If I reboot it may just stop again.

Geoff's machine is connected using wifi and it is working despite the following 
settings:
IPv4 address 192.168.2.xx
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.2.1
DNS is set to 192.168.2.1

I'm finding this extremely frustrating - I'm not sure how we can be getting 
different router and DNS IP numbers, and I cannot explain why the wifi is 
seeing the shared internet connection on ethernet when nothing else can. 
Despite the different IP numbers we can still file share. I have tried cutting 
out the Cisco hub - just a single cable between our two machines. Again, we 
could file share but not share the internet connection.

Thanks for trying to help. Kaye

I agree.
Your Router/Gateway Address is 192.168.0.1

System Preferences  > Network - Advanced > TCP/IP
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.xx   (this will change automatically because you are 
using DHCP)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1 should stay the same

DNS Server should be the same as the Router: 192.168.0.1 

Why your setup is not doing this I don’t understand unless it is a different 
setup due to the Telstra Dongle & sharing the connection?

Hi Ronni,

> Are the LED (lights) on each port indicating connected?

Connected and active - external indicators are all good

I really think that the different router numbers are a bit of a clue to what is 
happening. Can you tell me where the router numbers come from? Is it the Cisco 
hub? I need to sort out why the other machines on the network have a different 
router number from me; I think that may be crucial.

We may just get another modem, but I hate not figuring out what is happening 
and fixing it!
