Lately, my router has been acting up, so I reset it to default settings using the button on the back. It started working better and would allow me to connect, but DHCP has been turned off, somehow, and I've got static IPs on all my computers, which won't vhange if I shut off the router for hours, or shut the computers off. (How the fuck?)

When I tried to access the web-based configuration utility, I'd get 404'd (On IP 192.168.1.1), which is the default IP of the router, which I haven't changed or anything (Obviously).

Anyone got any idea of what's going on? Not being able to change IP, which is relevant to my interests, or access the configuration is really annoying me.

Karma for halp.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

first, change your computer's network connection back to dhcp enabled. then do a ipconfig /release, then /renew. then do ipconfig /all, and use your browser to navigate to the IP listed as your "default gateway"

This happened to me, go into cmd, ipconfig/all and try one of those IP's. I have two PC's and a laptop, I tried to get into Belkin wireless utilitiy from one of the PC's and the laptop but no luck, But the PC thats one wireless seemed to get into it.

Try ipconfig /release & then /renew, check you got the router ip right (which I guess you have, otherwise the default gateway on the static config would also be wrong). Try resetting the router.

Well, the default gateway IP looks fucked up; 79.133.16.1, and it won't get me anywhere from the web browser. DHCP is enabled, or at least that's what ipconfig says.

I have reset the router, no improvement.

Worth noticing is taht my ISP has started gifing out completely retarded IPs lately. They should be 213.204.x.x, but they're 79.133.x.x instead... Many sites report me as being in france, or just off the west coast of Africa.

Which router do you have? I have some crap Telewell and it sucks. I have to let the router give my comp a LAN IP so it works but obviously no game server will work. And when I configure the router to give my pc the public IP provided by ISP, the NAT stops working and I can't use web browsers. Game servers do work however. Telewell = Telehell

hmm, that default gateway is probably your ISP's router. that doesnt help much. it seems like your router is basically acting as modem and just passing along the ISP's config right to your computer. another way to do it is to unplug your modem line from the wall, and do another power cycle on the router, and a ipconfig/all on your system again. see what ip info you get.

Are you sure you've got the right IP? Getting a 404 seems weird to me.

It sounds more like you set it to "router" instead of "gateway".

I got some more dumb, non-working IPs; Gateway and "Automatically configured IP-address" were both 169.254.159.237.

I also tried putting an old hub in between the computer and the router. No difference.

EDIT: Oh, and the router is a Paradyne 6212

so as you suspected in your op, it seems your router is not using dhcp at all, if windows is resorting to apipa. there must be some other way to do a "hard" reset to put it back to factory settings. search for a manual for your paradyne...

If I reset to factory settings, nothing changes. I just did it 20 minutes ago. In fact, resetting it actually caused this.

I already have that one, and I've followed the steps in it

do you try to access the config page in a browser?

if so, try to just do it from the Run box.

Care to elaborate?

Networking has never been my strong side...

well, sometimes when i have a problem with my router and i try to access the router configuration page, it wont let me do it through the browser.
what i have to do is actually hit the start menu, and open Run...

after that, i type my router config IP into that, and it brings it up for me.....not sure why it works sometimes, then not others....dont really know.

other fixes (and i havent read this thread all the way through, so someone might have already mentioned this), check for updates for your firmware on your router. also, i think i may have given you this advice before.....sometimes, unplug mine and let it sit for a couple hours.
i know, its not the most technically advanced way to do things, but i always have problems with my router/PCI card, and a lot of this stuff helps.

anyway, good luck.

when you said you did a 'hard reset', how did you do it? sometimes you need to hold down the reset button for 30 seconds to do a full reset. perhaps try unplugging the router and holding down reset for 30 seconds too. ?!

you could also try running "angry ip scanner" (its free), and see if you can find the router admin ip.

Holding the button for long times with and without power wouldn't do a thing.

Also, "ipscan.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
