Netopia 2247 Problems

emperor_krunchy

I'm having problems setting up my friends Netopia 2247 router (on Eircom).
He has it set up wirelessly for the laptop I'm currently using but I'm trying to set it up on his nnew desktop on a wired connection. He hasn't got the cd rom or set up guide and I can't connect to the routers homepage i.e "192.168.1.254". I've also checked the Eircom help page for this specific router.
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks

No setup needed for wired connection.

Just plug the Cat5 connection in and it should work straight away.

The CD did not do anything for wired connections.

If you can't connect reset the router using the small hole on the router marked reset. (Need Pin)

Does he have the drivers installed for his network card?
Does he have a network card?

On XP go to Start/Run and type in devmgmt.msc which will bring up the Device Manager and scroll down to the Network Adaptors entry to see if they are ok (No yellow question marks).
