Guest Travis86 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 I finally got an ethernet DSL modem, so now I can finally use my Linksys router. I followed the instructions to set it up (i.e. setting my ethernet card to use DHCP and making sure the gateway address was blank), but when I try to log into the web-based control panel (192.168.1.1), it just times out. I can't even ping it from my Windows computer.On my Linux computer, I can ping 192.168.1.1, but I still can't log in. A guy on a Linux forum said that this was probably due to the router using browser-detection. I would assume that any browser would do, but I don't know what else could be wrong.And I was sure to reset it when I was trying to get it to work this time because I think I may have set some of the settings when I first got it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Surfboard Cable Modems use 192.168.100.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Travis86 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Oops. I can't believe I misstyped that address both times. I really have been trying to access 192.168.1.1 (I fixed it in my previous post).Anyway, I just realized that I had my ethernet cable plugged into the wrong port. When I plugged it into the right port, it gave me a couple "connection refused" errors, then went back to just timing out.I guess I should be more careful.

mark2 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 shut down comp Recheck all your connections then press reset button on Router and reboot see if that helps ?or have you already tried it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Travis86 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well, I thought I'd done that before, but just to make you happy I did it again, and it worked! I don't think I had ever reset the modem with all of my computers off.Yay! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
