biturbo Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Need to access a router to do some port forwarding and I'm having problems. I've got the login/password, but before that I'm trying to open the screen to log in to the router. The usual 192.168.0.1 is just not picking anything up and showing no host found. Works perfectly well as a router otherwise and I've tried from a few different laptops. It's a Netgear DG834PN. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Check the default gateway from your PC that connects to the router - what is it? Also, try HTTPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullett Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 From a wired connection or wireless? Can those machines you are trying access the net ok? Mac filtering? I have an 834G and just put in the IP as above. It's not https Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenbend Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 My netgear is on 192.168.1.1 - Have you tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Go START, RUN then CMD and type ipconfig /all one of the list there (perhaps default gateway) should be the router IP address - I've seen funny ones like 192.168.0.254 before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Rifles Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Open IE and type in "router". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 If you have installed the software, then you should just have an icon on your desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you open a command box by doing Start > Run and typing cmd and pressing enter, then doing an ipconfig /all in the command box, the default gateway will be your router's IP address. If the address you were trying is correct then it could be that the router won't let you manage it wirelessly (some allow and some deny by default, who knows what yours is) so try plugging into the network with a cable and seeing if you can access the web page. If that still doesn't work then you probably need to use the first rule in the IT book: switch if off, switch it back on! Then try to access it by the web interface.

Hopsta Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Open IE and type in "router". but that would only work if you had a DNS/Host record for it, 99% of people wouldn't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Do you need the *.*.*.*:8128 bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Do you need the *.*.*.*:8128 bit? You'd only need to put :8128 at the end of the address if the web management interface for the router were listening on port 8128 which in a SoHo router isn't going to happen unless you specifically change it do be on that port.

Hopsta Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Find the gateway, see if you can ping it and then use a browser to access it. Simple If you can't ping it then you need to switch off firewalls etc or allow ICMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 If you can't get to it, hit the reset button and start again on 192.168.1.1?? (*.0.1). Depends upon the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biturbo Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Spot on lads. found it at 192.168.1.1 It's at a local business I go to and I'm trying to set up a streaming video link. The manager runs a laptop over wireless. He got someone in to install his router and they didn't use the settings written on the fecking box! Now just got to work out static IPs and port forwarding by 7pm tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
