E30TECH Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am pretty new to using torrents, and am amazed at how it works.I set up everything per instructions I googled (before I found this site) and have had relatively good upload & download speeds.I was trying to view my linksys WRT54 router screen, but I can't seem to access it. I know I changed my IP settings, but forgot what the IP address was I entered.I checked my IP by using whatsmyip.net, ipconfig, and http://checkip.dyndns.org (for my routers ip addy).I have entered into my browser:my default gateway shown on ipconfig 192.168.1.1IPv4 addressSubnet maskThe page either comes up cant be displayed or a google search result (depending on which set of numbers I enter).I am running Vista with OEM firewall.Any help would be appreciated.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The IP address you enter for the router configuration is your default gateway address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E30TECH Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 When I enter 192.168.1.1, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"Thanks for the quick reply.BTW - I tried searching on here for about a week before posting.

moogly Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Use Firefox or Chrome. What is your FW ? Windows Defender by default ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E30TECH Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have defender and windows firewall running.You think explorer is the problem? I was able to load the linksys page in the past with explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Did you set a static IP for your machine, or is it getting it through DHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E30TECH Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I believe I set a static IP. I changed a number on the end of the ip addy.This is something I never did before, which is why I am a little confused.Is there a way to check to see if it is getting it thru DHCP?EDITin properties for my wireless network, it says DHCP in enabled.

moogly Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 maybe you can reset your router (reset button)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E30TECH Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I didn't want to do that as I had an issue doing that last time. Called linksys and even they had a problem helping me. Its not a big deal - I just thought it might be something easy that I couldn't figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
