Wireless Networking Problem

First off I have Verizon DSL. I am connected to the internet via their wireless router. It is a Westell 7500. I also have a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3 that I use to give internet to the rest of my computers. I am using the computer that is connected via wireless and I am attempting to ping the rest of my wired network but it's constantly unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated and I'll be here to give any other information that would be needed. Thanks in advance for your taking time to read this and your patience.

You are on a computer connected to the Westell and the others are behind the Netgear? If that is true that problem one is that the firewall is certainly defaulted to not allow responding to pings. Even with that cleared you might still have issues. Are you pinging via name or IP?

Also, non-response to pings does not mean that you aren't connected. Pings are handy and when you do get a response it gives good indications of how well you are connected on a very baisc level, but no response does not equal no connection.

 

Yes, I am on a laptop that is connected via wireless though the Westell. Okay well even so, I am unable to map the entire network or attempt to access the server that I have on my LAN also. While I'm connecting through the Westell I have a 192.168.1.* IP address while all the computers connected via LAN have a 192.168.0.* IP address.

 

So far I'm still connected to the wireless westell. Basically what I'm trying to do is connect to the new DVR security system that we had installed. I can connect to it through all the PC's on my LAN because they all have a 192.168.0.* ip.. but from this laptop which has a 192.168.1.* IP, I am unable to connect to DVR at all.

 

How do you connect to the DVR to view it? Is it web-based in the browser? Http or https? I view DVR's in different IP ranges but I have a VPN tunnel between them. I can also open the port for the IP to be viewed at the firewall.

I would start with the netgear firewall settings, even setting the DVR to the DMZ area TEMPORARILY to see if it is a port issue.
