BF2S Forums Internet, but no gateway??

Reboot the Router to default settings? Should have a sticker on the back with default address and login details, if not, Google.

Gah, I decided to pay a guy £50 to fix it all (XBox as well) via telephone and remote admin.

cba to do this shit myself, I fucking hate internets.

do you know what they did to fix it? (so you can save money in the future)

Oh he did a ton of stuff. But it works now, so I hope it'll be ok.

It involved resetting everything again, fixing the ports again, he did some mac address stuff.. I dunno.

@Finray: I'd do it myself if I knew how. But I don't and this is cheaper than getting an internet repair guy to come fix it.

Maybe the xbox problem was more complicated and required some fixings for it, but whatever was going on with the gateway was not a major problem. On XP, occasionally, the first ipconfig shown after a new DHCP acquisition won't show the default gateway. Not sure why. But, because you have a working internet connection, your computer obviously has the gateway. Another place to look in ipconfig /all would have been the dhcp server address.

I'm more curious about why it went to a 10.X address (where did you find that address, by the way?). Perhaps your ISP is double NATing, which would cause problems with any kind of port forwarding.

found it via a laptop that was wired to the router. ipconfig /all.

Strange thing is, my modem is a crappy modem/router combo, and the IP address I got (10.0.0.138), was actually the IP address of the modem/router, not the DLink. And the modem works wired only, the router wireless only, sooo, problem kinda solved really. Probably a predictable thing, I don't know much about gateways...

In the end, ports forwarded via some over-complicated method on the modem, router only used wirelessly by PCs.
