Accessing the default gateway

Gaz25

I'm using a wireless router and can't access the default gateway. I have ran ipconfig/all to check the i was using the correct address. I can ping it no probs and i have even turned off the firewalls and removed them.

I still can access the default gateway. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?:mad:

I still have a connection, but if something goes wrong in a while

Thanks

What type of wireless router

Gaz25

Netopia wireless suplied by EIRCOM

Diabolus

I noticed lots of Wireless Routers require a LAN connection to access it once setup. Prevents wireless hackers stealing info and settings.

I'm connecting using a network cable, i haven't turned on the wirless as i only have one desktop at the moment.

I still can't access the F**ker.

2 Options Left.

1. Try telnet to the bastad
2. Reset her ...

manually enter the default gateway 192.168.1.254 in your network card tcp/ip settings, could be a problem with your network card or cable, is the lan light on the router?

Gaz25

Yeh, The power, Lan, Dsl and wireless lights are all on. I can ping it no probs. I'm AVG and Sygate bu have removed them both. I rang eircom but they just fobed me off.

as Diabolus said try telneting to the router
start>run>type "telnet 192.168.1.254" (Default gateway usually)

ur other option is to press the button at back of router and reset the default settings, u should b able to connect then

yeah... you can even change settings and the likes on the netopia when you telnet into it... there should be some stuff on the netopia website
