Hello,
I want to make my house have both wired and wireless internet connection using my apple AirPort Extreme router and my modem. I have a large wall panel that shows all of the Ethernet ports for the whole house. When I plug in an Ethernet cable in to the WAN slot on the router from the modem and then plug in my computer from the LAN slot I get perfect internet connection but if I try to connect to another Ethernet cable in another room the computer shows that the Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN port but I have no internet connection. Please Help!

Well, without seeing the devices and patch panel, we cannot verify the configuration is correct

Post a picture of all devices and connecitons!

Can you pull an IP address?

Try cmd line IPCONFIG /release /renew

So the "large wall panel" is working like a "Ethernet switch" or is it working like a router? Do you have any instructions for this panel or can you give us the make and model?

Using two routers creates DHCP problems with Internet address translations.

I think it is a home patch panel, like the kind that the contractors get paid for, but don't wire correctly!

OK, the 169.254 is not a valid route address. Can you ping the router address?

The DNS records show you are querying a KANSAS naming server.

Have you manually built this connection? You need to set it to automatic, and renew it!

The 169.254 is not a valid address. You are not reaching the DHCP server. Go to the PC that has the connection, and see what that IP address is. It is in the 10.10, or 192.168 (I am betting on 192.168).

You don't have a path to the router. See how it is empty?

How new is the Patch panel? Is it still in warranty?

the patch panel is probably not in warranty it is over 10 years old. I don't know how to have a path to the router it is only this one ethernet port that isn't working all others in the house work. The ip for the my pc is 169.254 so i don't know how to get that to change to 10.10 or 192.168. Also what is weird is a picture that I will send it shows my ethernet ip as 169.254 but it is sending and receiving very minimal packets.

If you can ping it, you should be able to pull an IP address. How many IP address' do you have reserved on the DHCP server?

So is the gateway (router), in the 169.254 network?

If it is not, then the client (your pc) isn't getting a vlaid address, and it is defaulting to the 169.254 network (un-routable in most cases, at least undesirable if you are trying to reach a 192 network).If you dont have a light on the back of your PC then you don't have a link, which is layer 2 of the protocol , and the comm can't move up the stack!

The link light is the first indication the the physical layer has been completed, on a wired connection. If the link light (the yellow or green light above the cord that you plugged into the mac) doesn't light, then layer 2 has failed, and no further communications can occur!

I am not instrument certified and I don't have a link light on so should i try a new ethernet cable? Is that the issue?

Yea, you need to be on the 10 network!

Try the new cable. I am 99.999% sure that it is patch panel wiring.

I agree with you that it is the patch panel wiring that has to be it

NO problems bud! Sorry, but the wire can cause this kind of indication. I wanted to see this through to your satisfaction, so post back if you need anything else!
