Pinging local computers on my network brings back a foreign ip address
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:05:16 PM »
Ok, I don't understand, when I ping another workstation on my local network I should get back it's local IP but instead I am getting an ip address that resolves to somewhere in Germany!  In fact if I ping any bogus name, I mean anything, it returns this same address 62.116.181.25.  If I shut down my cable modem then everything resolves correctly.  And yes I have DNS relay enabled because it seems to be the only way to get the workstations to resolve external sites correctly.  Any help would be appreciated.   :-[

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?
Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?

What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.

Some things to try:
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.
