Internet Connection Sharing Error 799

Hi, Ive been trying to share my Dial-up broadband Account on my network for years now and I always get The Host Ip addy in use Error. I cant even begin to tell you how much time ive spent trying to configure the Ip addys. Ive made sure many times that The host computer is the only one using 192.168.0.1 I've made sure all the network settings & Protocols on all computers match perfectly. All 3 computers are running Windows XP home without Service packs. I am networked through a Netgear Rp114 Netsafe Router.

Anybody have any ideas?

 

I think SHARING should be left out of the question. With a Router there should be NO SHARING of ANYTHING other than the actuall connection from the Router to the Internet. With the Router each machine should be so called Stand-Alone as far as the Internet goes.

You have a different router so things may be different. But why do you have to configure each machine ?

Do you have each NIC set to Auto Obtain IP address ? If it is the machine should be able to set things up correctly.

Is DHCP enabled ? ( I have to take it for granted that your Router has that )

????????????
Wait for other input here but if you do have a Router there should be no Host computer. And 192.168.0.1 I do not believe should be a machine address. At least for me it is the Router IP.

Each machine is 192.168.0.100 or higher auto assigned in the order the machines are turned on.

I assume you have each machine connected to the Router with a Cat5 cable. Although you have a Netgear Rp114 Netsafe Router with which I am not familiar.

Do you have the actual connection info on each machine ?

for example

Password

Now mind you all of my questions and/or info are based on a Wired Linksys Router which was the 3rd one tried before I got things to work properly. Once I got it, BINGO ! everything fell right into place.

Then later I went to a Linksys Cable Modem and things were better yet.

Well the router just gives me the LAN connection. I have to make a dial-up connection on each computer to get online. And since I cant be dialed-up to DSL on 2 computers at the same time, I just assumed I had to share my dial-up connection from my host computer over my Local area Network. Both computers Are wired into the router with Cat5. And no, I don't believe DHCP is enabled. I have also tried it with both computers Detecting settings automatically but I get the same error. I haven't tried upgrading to Sp2 but I will soon.


Thanks for the help so far

 

What I read here

With a Router THERE SHOULD BE NO HOST PC. 192.168.0.1 should not be a PC address. Each PC should be 192.168.1.100 and higher.

It looks like do not have the router set up correctly..

I wll go back again to read more.

I believe that may be the problem. But again. I will go read more and be back.

Something is sure different here. If I am wrong here someone please tell me for sure.

But from what I read at the site I refered to and a correctly set up Router there is no HOST PC. The Router becomes the HOST. It sets up the sharing of the Internet Account. I have had as many as FIVE ( 5) pcs on all at the same time. I also have a Hub for extra connections.

And if correctly set up any one PC should be able to get on all by itself with no other machine on.

Also I see you keep mentioning Dial UP. DSL Is not Dial up is it ? Isn't it broadband ? And behaves similiar to Cable but over the Phone Lines ?

Where Are you located ?

I went back and did some more reading.

I read ( in the 2nd paragraph ) that there is a problem with Router and ADSL in some areas.

BillyBob

 

Ist find out how to get DHCP enabled. Things may not work properly without it. Then turn on only one machine at a time and see it you can get it working.

Well I'm located in Palmer, Alaska. I bought a 256k DSL service through an ISP called ACS. They Provided the router, and a standalone DSL modem. So what you're telling me is that I should never have to dial a connection from my computer, and that the router should connect for me and share the Internet connection between the PCs on my network? That would be nice, But the instructions from my ISP specifically state how to set up the dial up connection. I just dial the number 0.0.0.0 with my username & password through my LAN Card. I had another Dsl service from a different ISP where I had to Dial-up also. My ISP is rather unreliable for support on these issues, that's why I came here. I will try to enable DHCP tonight.

Also, I'm not positive I have the router plugged in right. There were no instructions on hooking it up from my ISP. On my router there is 1 WAN Port that is Not used. Then I have 4 LAN Ports. I have the DSL modem's out Line plugged into LAN Port 1, and The PCs on 2 & 3. This is the only way I could get my network to work.

Thanks again for the Help

 

I dont understand the "Dialup" thing but hey I can always learn something new.

ADSL and DSL ushally use PPOE for authenication.
In the router config you have an option for the WAN side to either select Dynamic IP address, Static IP address, PPOE, and a few others.
Once you select PPOE you will have some space to fill in your user name and password. This way the Router and not the PC keeps the connection open with the DSL service.
Dont assume the ISP has a clue because in some cases they dont.

 

Whats the model of the Modem?

Yep I just checked and ACS does use PPOE

Cant find a Netgear RP114 but I did find a RP614

If this is your router go into it and run the setup wizard.

When it asks you if your Intenet connection requires a login select yes and answer the questions.
Then uninstall all the ACS **** installed on your PCs.

 

I don't really understand how to config the router.....Was i supposed to have software or something with it? All I got from My ISP was they're Internet install Disk. I've never seen a Router setup wizard. I never even installed the little connection program they give you, since I can connect with Xp's Dial-up Networking. So where is the Router setup wizard?

 

First you need to verify your Netgear is a RP614
http://netgear.com/products/details/RP614.php

Then download the installation guide.
http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_details.asp?dnldID=241

And the manual
http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_details.asp?dnldID=242


Then remove ICS from your PC.
Restart you computer which should allow your computer to automatically receive an IP address from the router.
Follow the step by step instructions in the installation guide and you should be up and running in no time.

 

I have a Netgear Cable/Dsl Websafe Router model Rp114. That router is not listed in Netgear's product page, of course. I will look around the net a bit and see if I can find the setup directions for it, Thanks.

Alright, Here's the full Specs on the router:

Take a look here

I read it as that Router is not one of the better ones.

Anybody else read it that way ?

Plus the booklet that came with my Linksys is darn near 1/4 inch thick.

But I also bought my own.

BillyBob

 

If it were me and I read that page correctly, I would be printing it out and be on someones' backside BIG TIME.

If I am wrong please tell me so.

That may well be why you do not see it ont the NetGear site.

Well I think I'm finally getting somewhere, maybe. I typed the physical address of the router, (192.168.0.1) in the address bar, and it brought me to the Rp114 router config. I went through the wizard, and I think I hooked the router up right. I put the modem's out line into the WAN port instead. Only problem is, the Internet still doesn't work lol. I think I need my ISP's Domain name to connect with the router, I'll try to find it.

 

Well I figured it out Finally.... I am connected to the internet over LAN right now. Thanks everybody for all the Help, Finally able to be online at the same time, Thanks.
