    Sorry to revive an old thread... has anyone got any idea how to fix this? I have a Siemens Speedstream 4200, and I'm getting the "domain.invalid" error aswell.
    Here is my ipconfig.

    Sorry for the late reply!
    Here is the info on what you told me to do.

    ok well first of all, is this a home network youre on? are you actually supposed to be connected to a domain?

    i see you can ping your own nic and your gateway which i assume is a home router. and i assume you posted your public ip address 206.190.x.x, which by the way you shouldnt do especially on a forum, and youre not getting a reply.

    i would try to just power cycle the router first. if that doesnt work, try a factory reset. if that doesnt work, try a different router to see if thats the problem. and if THAT doesnt work, say a magic word and wave a wand over it. after that, post back and well go from there...

    A) Yes it is my home network. B) Yes I'm supposed to be connected to a domain. and C) 206.190.60.37 is not my ip address. I'm not that much of a retard.
    I have tried factory resetting, power cycling, and restoring all the defaults on the modem set up page.
    It has something to do with my PPoPE settings, which the isp won't help me with. They say it's my fault that my internet isn't working, even though i've reformatted my computer AND bought a new modem.
    I don't use a router, either.

    i dont understand how you have nated ips if youre not behind a router. if you dont have a router and youre using nated ips, youre not going to be able to get to the internet. can you tell me how your network is set up? what is giving out dhcp?

    Well I'm not that amazing with networking, so I don't understand the question, want to dumb it down a little bit for me? lol

    All I know is that I have a dynamic ip, modem going straight to the computer, no router, no internet. haha

    sorry bout that. that was kind of me thinking by typing...

    your 10.1.1.3 ip address is what is called a NATed ip, or network address translation. basically a private ip address you would get from dhcp on your router. but from what youre saying youre not behind a router. did you have a router then just take it out or something?

    try this. you might have a static ip in.
    go into your nic settings. start - control panel - network connections. right click your local area connection and go to properties. click on internet protocol TCP/IP and click properties. both of those should be on obtain automatically. check that out when you get a chance.

    if that is on obtain auto, go into your command prompt and type ipconfig/release - enter
    ipconfig/renew - enter

    you should still grab a router though. its safer than just being directly connected to your modem.

    The Speedstream 4200 is a router.
    Link to user manual.
    Your ISP should give you the details of your connection as it is part of their service.
    Use the manual for set up as needed.

    domain.invalid is a common hostname for this router from the factory/isp. I used to work for alltel and all the speedstream modem/routers we shipped would have this domain.

    I haven't had my router connected in months cause I was getting DDoSed etc, and I haven't recently plugged it in.
    My ip is set to dynamic ip.
    I plugged in a netcomm modem today, And I got the normal "192.168.1.1" ip which is standard for that modem I guess. Cause I also use that to log into the modems settings on Firefox.
    Now it says nothing, instead of "domain.invalid", and the ADSL light doesn't blink on the modem.
    When I do an ipconfig /release it goes back to 10.1.1.3 and only goes back to 192.168.1.1 after I unplug everything and plug it back in.
    And the modem page doesn't load when my settings say 10.1.1.3.
    I have read all the optus pages on how to set up my modem, but everything is the same as what it's telling me to set up, except my username and password change when I reset it. So I change it back and nothing happens. all the PPOE settings are the same as in the guide.

    And to Colemanguy: Are you saying domain.invalid is normal and that my internet should work when it says that?

    I have reformatted my computer... bought a new modem and still the same error, and my ISP says it's still my fault there's an error.

    my last idea right here.

    right click your local area connection in Network Connections and click properties. in general tab, click configure. click advanced tab. in the property section, look for link speed and duplex and click on that. make sure the value is set to auto detect.

    by the way, are you sure you dont have any malware or something that could be causing this? it might be worth it to go through some cleaning procedures listed in the malware section...
     
  12. Colemanguy

    Colemanguy MajorGeek

    Yes thats what im saying, but lets talk about your adsl, if its constantly blinking, then you need to make sure your phones are all filtured, because you adsl light should blink for a bit then go solid, meaning it locked in the dsl signal. Then we can trouble shoot your pppoe portion of the connection, btw whos your isp.

    Alright, well I doubt I have any malaware, because I reformatted my computer, and since I reformatted a couple of weeks ago, my internet hasn't worked, so all I have on there is you know, basic windows stuff, can't download anything.
    My ISP is Optus.
    And the ADSL light doesn't come on at all. All that comes up is the Ethernet light and the power light.
    I'll try what Steve suggested this afternoon.
     
  14. Colemanguy

    Colemanguy MajorGeek

    Steve is wrong, if your adsl light isn't coming on, your not recieving the adsl signal from your isp. Have you added any new telephones, do all your phones have the filtures on them from your isp? Your isp should trouble shoot this issue with you. Right now this has nothing to do with your networking setup, as its fine, your recieving info from your modem/router but nothing from modem/router to isp.

    Yeah i was definitely off base, sorry about that
     
  16. 3ss3nc3

    3ss3nc3 Private E-2

    I haven't added any new phone lines or anything, I was just on Ventrilo and MSN like I normally am and it just all froze up and stopped working.
    I never used to have a filter on the line which my modem is on, so I recently just put one on.
    The ISP did go through all this stuff with me but yeah, say its my fault.
    Hopefully this tech (not from my ISP) will shed some light on the situation, and atleast prove that it's not my fault the internet's not working.
    My PPPOE in my modem settings still says "Not Trained".
    It seems weird, does any one know if this stuff can be caused by DDOS attacks? A friend of mine in America got DDOSed by the same people as me and his internet turned off entirely and a tech had to go and reset something in the main box thing outside..
     
  17. Colemanguy

    Colemanguy MajorGeek

    Uh no, you can't cause a modem to not train via ddos. DSL filtures need to go on every phone line, except the one to the dsl modem, as that then filtures out your dsl signal, preventing a connection. Remove the filture from the dsl line, and see what happens as far as status/signal light. Lets dig deeper though, why are you getting ddosed? Sounds like your due for a malware visit, or need to start playing nicer on the internet.

    lol, I was getting DDOSed because I'm a Gamemaster on a private World of Warcraft server, and I quit after about a year, and they thought I was a threat, so yeah, got owned.

    but yeah, It's fixed now. Alright so, had a guy come look at it, charged me like $100 bucks, just to say it's the ISPs problem, not mine.
    Rang up Optus and complained because I wasn't getting a service, spoke to a higher level technition, he said, "Reset the modem and try a new phone cable" and then suddenly it worked. (Even though I had changed the cable and reset the modem many times.)

    Just another ploy to act like it wasn't their fault, I assume, cause its amazing how it just suddenly works after I complain. haha.

    Oh well. It's working now, and it still says the domain.invalid thing, but I guess that's just standard, like that other guy said.

    Thanks for your help guys
