Hi,
I am using a wireless Belkin router. While I was trying to process my portforwarding thing, all of a sudden, my computer became 'limited or no connectivity' position. Then i realised that my router ip has been changed to a different one -before it was 192.168.1.1. Now I can only use one computer in the network and other computers are always limited or no connectivity and also i cant go through router settings. Anybody can help me?

Hello and welcome to TSF,

Please read this thread. Also check your network connections and see if you have bridge connections. If you see any you may remove it.

Thank you very much PrupleSky for your reply. However my problem is not SP2 related. It has occured during i was changing my router settings in order to enable some ports opened. Then it became a limited connection.
Anyway kindly thanks for your response...

I would use the winsockfix tool anyway and disconnect, uninstall components and start over.

 

[onurcal]

yes I did use all of the recommended tools but not working. Also i did start from the beginning but nothing is working. Thanks anyway...

Start, Run, type "cmd", type "ipconfig /all >C:\ipconfig.txt". Leave out the quotes ("").

Open C:\ipconfig.txt with Notepad and copy/paste the info back for review and comment.

When in doubt, find the router HW reset button and start over!

Hi JamesO! Following is the Windows IP Configuration to my network. I can't understand why my IP changed to a different value. Its supposed to be 192.168.1.1 or sth like that. Besides I ve already pressed to the reset button behind the router but it didnt work.

Not sure how you are configured and if you are even on your own wireless network??

What type of ISP service do your have and who is the provider?

Looks like you have been assigned NTL public IP addresses:

Well I live in Bournemouth and have no idea how the address appears like it is in Hampshire. My internet is provided by NTL that's right at least. However my original ip was 192.168.2.1 then couple of nites ago out of nowhere it became 81.96.239.255. Besides I can't access to my router settings. now i've got only one machine connected. to connect another laptop first I have to switch off one then switch on the other one and then I have to reset the router. But i can't use 2 laptops at the same time. I'd better contact with NTL! Thanks for your interest anyway...

 

[JamesO]

192.168.2.1 is a private IP address. Somehow you have been given a Public NTL address.

You clearly on not getting a Private IP address from your router. Maybe you are connected to some other wireless access point that is not yours? I would review your wireless configuration on the machine and look at the SSID as well. What was your SSID configured to?

You may also want to hard connect with a cable to the router and sort your issue this way?

I would try the hard reset button on the router, usually you need to hold it down for 30 seconds, then the router will reboot and be set back to defaults.

Well pressing on the router's reset button for 30 seconds is actually working out. Thanks 4 your help very much. Now my router is back to normal again and i can connect all of the computers at the same time. Thnaksssss a lot.
By the way, do i have to finish up the thread?

 

[JamesO]

Glad you got your situation sorted out.

Look under Thread Tools and you should be able to mark this thread as solved.
