Belkin Wireless N - can't browse 192.168.2.1 from Vista

BigLebowski · 11-01-2009, 11:13 AM

hi there

I can view my router config page from wireless clients including my xp laptop. But my wired Vista pc hard-wired to the router steadfastly refuses to see 192.168.2.1 from IE8. I've tried changing all manner of Vista settings without success.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Dude

Try these simple tests from the Vista computer.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

NOTE: For the items below in red surrounded with < >, see comments below for the actual information content, they are value substitutions from the previous IPCONFIG command output! Do NOT type <computer_IP_address> into the command, that won't work. Also, the < and > in the text is to identify the parameters, they are also NOT used in the actual commands.

Do NOT include the <> either, they're just to identify the values for substitution.

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 74.125.45.100

PING yahoo.com

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

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above. (For Vista/Win7, the IPv4 Address)

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

hi there, many thanks. I can ping the device from my Vista machine no problem. I just can't browse the page 192.168.2.1 from the same machine.

The machine can access any website except 192.168.2.1

Regards
Dude
