- Ooops what have I done - ADSL wireless router problem
- Posted by Ian Nelson on March 5th, 2004
I had ADSL fitted today
to replace HomeHighway ISDN
First to say that both wired PC and wireless laptop can access internet and
email and obviously news!
I have Linksys Wireless ADSL WAG54G router
Since ADSL working can no longer access router management page on
192.168.1.1
Takes to MSN search page with unsuccessful find
What I did:
Bt engineer changed line over and tested on his kit - worked fine
So I connected router with settings input - failed to connect
I then went in to Interent Explorer and went to connection settings
Changed dial up to "Never dial a connection"
Went to "To setup an Internet connection, click setup."
Went through options and went to set up home network and connect to internet
through hub
Still didn't work
Rang PlusNet
line not activated
they activated it and hey presto all started working
BUT have I trashed something by going to the home network options
and why can't I now get to router on 192.168.1.1
and how do I put it right?
arrgghhhh
cheers
Ian

Hi Ian
That was my very original problem. Have you tried power down of router plus
cold reboot?
I'm also wondering about your DNS server. Should not they be Plusnet
assigned?
Can you get to 192.168.1.1 from your laptop?

No i haven't tried reboot of router
It is serving internet to both machines
and laptop is using VPN to work
I can ping 192.168.1.1 but not get to it from IE
the DNS server - I thought that but then realised I am on NAT and router is
getting DNS and IP externally rather than computers

I had the same problem with my USR9106
Have you done a Windows XP update lately by any chance?
My problem was caused by the latest Explorer update..uninstalled it
and everything now works again.

Ok,
Ok, you say your using a VPN - you do need to make sure (assuming the router
is handling this, but possibly even if only your terminal is part of the
vpn) that the ip range your home network is using isn't used by the corp
network - work a check anyway.
What you can do easily is get into your router using your plusnet ip address
(i.e. something like http://212.159.116.xxx, also try https:// just in case
it expects secure (not sure why it woulld but still).
The plusnet customer support group has lots of helpful people in it
(including support) so that may be a good place to get further help.

just a thought, do you have "working offline" ticked on the IE file
