ive got a slight problem, i cant seem to connect to the router to change settings , the router i have didnt come with any software, is it needed ? or can i do it all from settings in windows? i havnt a clue where to start so if anyone could help, would be handy :) ta
I think you'll need to set up the router - for mine, you just type in the IP address of the router and it'll coem up with a setup page. The standard on most is 192.168.0.1 I think.
To check if the router is working, I think you should be able to see other computers on the network since the router acts like a normal hub as well as a modem.
try in Networking forum matey :)
a couple down deom this one! They'll sort ya...no worries
hopefully anywya
ive tried connecting to the IP as stated in the manual with no luck, get a DNA server error :(
wanna move it? ;)Quote:

im gonna try tomorrow if i get time to sort it all out, but at the moment ive just plugged it into my pc, lights come on, so it does work, just cant connect to it ?
the router should be handing out IP addresses. click start, run, type cmd, then type ipconfig /all
that'll tell you what YOUR pc's IP address is. 192.168.somehting is good, 169.254.somehting is bad. if it's in the GOOD category, there should be a Gateway address listed. type that address into Firefox to get to the router's configuration
my router is 192.168.1.1 to get into it, but i also had some problems at first with this and wish i could remember :(
whats the make of the router? Is it that Ebuyer one?
Control Panel --> Local Area connection --> Properties --> Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" , click properties, make sure both IP address and dns server are both obtained automatically.
Then reboot the router and it should detect the PC and give it an IP address + you'll be able to access it, I'd hope.
not sure, its a mentor router/modem
ok this is annoying
done ipconfig and i got the ip 192.168.8.2, and 192.168.8.1 as the gateway
so i connect to both via IE6, and none work, even more annoying is that on networking it shows packets have been recieved, so its wokring ! but it wont let me connect to it :(
any ideas? cant connect to it :( do i need a special something or other?
You typed http://192.168.8.1/ into your browser then?
TiG
yup and i get a DNS server error, wont connect to it ?
but ipconfig shows its there, and it says 'a net work cable has been unplugged' when i turn it off, so it knows its there ! its even recieved a few packets of data from it but wont load :(:(
