[SOLVED] Can't connect to router

[Djordhan]

Hi there,

I just bought a Netgear WGR614 v6 router but I can't acces it via any web browser (typing 192.128.1.1 or any other adress like routerlogin.net)

This said, internet explorer keep asking me to connect to the internet when I try to access my router. But I can't connect to the internet since my router probably has a MAC address that is not valid to my ISP. I'll probably have to spoof the MAC adress on the router.

How can I access it? Is it a problem with Internet Explorer? It uses the broadband connection I already had to connect directly with my DSL modem.

Thx.

Djordhan

Sounds like you are just using the wrong address. Try 192.168.0.1

[Djordhan]

Lol no no thx for the advice but I already tried all possible adresses, the problem is that my web browser doesn't want to connect to the router if there's no internet connection, And I can't connect since my login info are not in the router.

Reset the router to factory defaults.

Connect your computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.

Reboot the computer.

Type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of IE. You should be connected to the web based router setup. It is NOT necessary to have a web connection to configure the router.

If that doesn't work, please do this.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

You appear to have a problem with your Ethernet interface. What exactly is connected, it seems you have a USB connection to an ISP on this computer.

[Djordhan]

Hmm I already had a USB connection to our ISP modem but I never had it working, so I switched for a network connection with my RealTek card. It worked just fine from there so I never undone any change previously made trying to make my usb connection works.

There's no more USB connection

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.




After that, please post another IPCONFIG /ALL

[Djordhan]

Well, thanks for all your help but, the problem has been solved by reactivating some Services that has been deactivate long time ago to optimize performance on the computer (they used for music recording and production) so the pc owner told me about it, I reactivated every services and it now works fine...

Thx again for your time! It's really appreciated to have quick and useful replies, which is not the case on too many forums these days!

Well, glad you got it going, even if we didn't hit the cause. I was going to list the networking services, but I didn't get around to that step yet.
