Trouble Accessing Router Setup via Browser

I am having a strange issue with accessing my WRT54G router settings page via a browser. 
Everytime I would type the IP address into the address box, I would get the message: cannot connect to server.  I used the link in the User Manual and got the same message. 
Of all places, my son found a link on the Nintendo site and it worked.  I copied the link to my favorites in IE 7  and I can now access the setup page in the router.  I did the same thing with Mozilla and the link gives the aforementioned error.  The link is nothing more than the IP address.  Also, I might add that I took the router to work and could access the setup page from my office computer.  This seems to point to a browser issue. 
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should do so that I can simply type the IP address? 

Not very familiar with mozilla. But I'd recommend that you check if the proxy settings are on.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

    I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
    When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
    The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
    We tried Firefox and the same happened.
    I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
    The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
    I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
    I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
    My setup:
    Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
    Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
    Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
    Memory: 832 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
    Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
    Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

    Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
    What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
    If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
    Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

  • Cannot install Software for E2500 or access router setup page

    Please help!  I first bought the e1200 version and when I tried to download it on my computer, it worked at first and installed correctly, but the cisco connect didn't properly install.  I was able to log into the router online setup page ONE time.  I tried to reset it and reinstall but it will not work.
    So I thought ok let me go and purchase a better one (thinking it was the router version having issues).  So I brought it back and purchased the E2500 and I am having the same trouble.
    I have tried to reset it about 20 times and reinstall and it will not install at all.  It still gives me internet, but I cannot log into the http://192.168.1.1/ page at all, it tells me internet cannot display...
    Please help!

    Hi there. Please check first if router is responding properly. Are you on Mac or Windows? On Windows pc, open command prompt (start>run>cmd for XP/ start>search>cmd for Vista and Windows 7) and type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter. If you are getting 4 lines of replies from 192.168.1.1 bytes 32 something then router is okay. On command prompt again go down to the next line where it has the flashing cursor and type this time: start http://192.168.1.1. After you press enter, your browser comes up and normally will prompt you to log-in to area 192.168.1.1 and that is where you can use admin in both fields (username and password since you reset the router already). If you get page cannot be displayed still, disable proxies on the browser. Example if you are on IE, you click tools and then internet options and go to connections and click lan settings. On the small window that comes up, just make sure nothing is checked and  then try on the address bar again http://192.168.1.1. If your computer still cannot access it, try a different browser or a different computer.

  • Having trouble accessing wikis & blogs via VPN

    After I connect to our server via VPN when I'm outside of our network, I'm having trouble getting wiki and blog pages to open up. Currently I'm using the internal hostname to pull up the pages: ajax.private (we used the .private domain because it is an internal server only).
    So, when I type in: ajax.private into the browser, the page starts to load and I can see the graphics starting to load, but it never finishes loading. Likewise, if I try and access the pages using the server's internal IP address, the same thing happens. Am I doing something wrong here?
    My other services like ichat and ical are able to access and authenticate using the FQDN of ajax.private

    You'd have to provide a lot more details of the setup to have any hope of a useful response. You don't even say what kind of VPN it is. What does the network admin at work say?

  • How do I access router setup page if the router DHCP service is disabled?

    When I had DSL, my WRT54G was my DHCP master for my home network.  When I got AT&T U-Verse, their "gateway" became the DHCP master and also the wireless access point.  But the signal was not strong enough where I wanted to use it, so I hooked up the WRT54G again.  I discovered that if I connected the U-Verse gateway to the "Internet" port on the WRT54G Linksys, then my home network was split in two, which I did not want.  The WRT54G access point is physically somewhat distant from my wired computer, so I wanted to keep the U-Verse gateway as the DHCP master. (The U-Verse gateway is a router with four "computer" ports but no "Internet" port.)
    I followed instructions on the Linksys web site, and using my wi-fi connected computer I re-programmed the WRT54G to be "Disabled" as a DHCP server.  Then I powered down and physically connected the U-Verse gateway to a "Computer" port on the WRT54G.  This solved my problem:  my distant wi-fi computer now has a good signal, and both computers "see" each other.
    However, now I seem to have lost access to the WRT54G setup "web page."  Is it possible to access the innards of the WRT54G when its DHCP service is disabled?  Or would I have to reset the device to factory configuration and start all over if I wanted to make any tweaks?

    You can still access the router's web configuration pages even if the internal DHCP server is disabled and it is connected via a LAN Ethernet port to your upstream router. 
    Did you reserve and IP addresses on the Uverse router for static IPs?
    If you did, assign one of these to the Linksys router (LAN) and you will be able to access it from your LAN. Since you are not using the WAN port, the Linksys router will not pull an IP from the Uverse router. You are using the device as a switch.

  • Accessing Business Intelligence via Browser?

    Hi all,
    we have a CA Clarity system which we will be using Business Objects with, rather than Actuate.
    Our Internal Systems team have installed the Business Objects server for use with publishing reports etc.
    They say that it is Business Intelligence R2, although I thought it should be Business Objects Enterprise.
    Are they different beasts?
    what i'm trying to ascertain is how I can connect to it using my browser, as I currently do with our Actuate reporting server.
    I cannot seem to work out what URL to use.
    I have the servername and the port number, and the administrator password - but for the life of me I do not know what to put in my browser address bar.
    can anybody offer any guidance on this?
    thanks,
    Matt

    Hi,
    Business Objects XI/R2 Enterprise is the version of Business Objects. It is reffered to as BOXI R2. You will have to log into BOXI R2 Designer and design the Universe first and publish it and then use it to Design the report by logging into WEBI URL. This development when Executed will open in a URL.

  • Trouble accessing router.

    Hello, I have a RangePlus Wireless router (though the computer I'm currently using connects to it with a wire) and I wanted to look at the port forwarding. The problem is, whenever I try to connect to it by using the IP address 192.168.1.1 the page just says "connecting" forever and it never gets there. I'm fairly certain I have the correct ip address as 192.168.0.1. and .2.1 and .1.100 all fail quickly instead of displaying "connecting" .
    What's odd is that when we first set up the router, I was able to connect using the ip address and change it from WPA to WEP , but I'm not sure what's preventing me now.
    Aside from this the router has been working fine.

    Sorry for the late reply, 4th of july weekend and all. I ended up doing the synchronization thing, and it worked, which was quite a surprise to me as I've been trying off and on over the past month or so and we've had several thunderstorms and other instances where the router and modem had to be unplugged, I guess we never plugged them back in  in the correct order/manner.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Facebook via browser

    I often go to FB via the browser & not the app because the app is poorly written & has even more limited features than when going via the browser.
    However, today I notice that the browser version is no longer working & that it's defaulting to https://m.facebook.com even though I type in www.facebook.com .. I assume it's trying to go to a mobile version
    Is anyone else having trouble getting onto FB via browser?

    Yes it goes directly to mobile version even you typed www.facebook.com. If you want to switch to Desktop version, tap Menu (3 lines on the top left corner), at the bottom, you can see Desktop Site. Tap it.

  • Unable to access CMC through web browser

    Hi All,
    I have a BOXI3.1 Windows install on a VM server. Install is up and running and I can access the CMC via Start menu on the server. When I attempt to access the CMC via browser on a remote computer it fails with a "IE cannot display the webpage" error message.
    I have tried http://alias:8080/cmcapp, http://servername:8080/cmcapp and http://IP address:8080/cmcapp, but all fail.
    Is there a server setting or a BO setting that must be changed?
    Thanks in advance for you help!

    Hi Scott,
    The communication should be two way communication. In both machine host entries the other machine details with hostname should be entered. Try this way should work and if any firewall configured please allow both the machines to communicate.
    If this doesn't work then check for the following:
    In VM there is an option configured to Ethenet called Host Only entry turned it to bridged will solve the problem.

  • After the recent version update (and after my cat knocked my router down) Firefox is just not working. I can access the internet via another browser BUT all my passwords are saved in Firefox.

    I am using a PC with Windows 7, and like I said, the other browser seems to be working just fine. I just MISS my passwords and really don't want to go through all the work and trouble of requesting new ones from ALL the sites I use passwords for ! Please HELP :)

    Your second post said 'ignore this" so I guess everyone thought you had got it fixed....
    When you connect through your router you have two instances of DHCP going on...one is your DSL modem giving your router an IP address on it's WAN interface. The other is the router giving your computer an IP address via the router's DHCP server. The IP the modem gives your router is in the 192.168.1.0 network. Unfortunately, by default, the LAN IP address reange on Linksys routers is also in that range. To get this to work, you need to set your LAN ip on the router to 192.168.2.1, so that the LAN and WAN interfaces of the router are in different networks.
    To do that, unplug the router from the DSL modem, power it and your computer down, then connect the computer to the router using an ethernet cable. Power up the router, and the computer, then browse to 192.168.1.1. Change the LAN IP on the router setup to 192.168.2.1, save the configuration, then reboot the computer. Once the computer comes back up, browse to 192.168.2.1...you should be able to get to the router setup GUI.
    Power down the router, and the DSL modem, connect the router to the modem via the Internet port using an ethernet cable, then power up the modem, then the router....you should be good to go...

  • How to Port forward your router via browser

    I Am having trouble port forwarding 19132 and I tried using airport extreme to port forward but everyTime I connect using my external ip it just fails.
    i Have port forwarded the port, and I did it correctly, hence I watched a few videos before and after. so I need to know how to port forward 19132 via browser.
    i Learned how to open the the config of the router via browser, or so I thought. I need to allow google access to my network, but I don't know how.
    please help.

    This is for Apple routers which do not use browser setup.. you must use the airport utility for any setup.
    There is particular advice by the section GURU.. Tesserax on how to port forward in apple routers.
    Finding the tips is now an exercise though.

  • WRE54G Verison 1 setup problems and conflicts accessing Router

    I have been working on trying to get this range expander to work in my network for two days now.  This forum has been very helpful, but I still can not get the device to work.  I created a static IP address on my PC and was able to access the unit and configure it with the same SSID and channel (6) as my router.  I have updated the firmware to the latest version.  I am running 128 bit WEP and have configured the router and the range expander to the same encryption code.  I have tried setting the IP address of the range expander to 192.168.1.240 and 192.168.1.140.  My router's IP Address is set to 192.168.1.1 and the IP address range for the router is set to 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149.
    However, each time I turn on both the router and the range expander, the wireless card on my PC stops working and I get the Limited or No Connection message.  What I am a doing wrong??? -  this has been much harder than it needs to be! 
    Message Edited by swisstpa on 02-10-200712:32 PM

    After three days, I finally got this device working!
    So no one else has to go through the problems I encountered, here are the specific things you must do to get this working.  Order of steps is VERY important!
    TURN OFF ALL WEP SECURITY ON THE ROUTER BEFORE STARTING!  Security settings were a big source of my problems.  Security has to be turned on in a specific sequence.  More on that later!
    Go to Linksys.com and get the latest firmware for the router and save it to the PC you are configuring the range expander from.
    When you initially begin to set up the range expander, you must turn off your router.  The range expander will show up on your available wireless networks as Linksysxxxxx where the xxxxx is a random sequence of numbers and letters.
    Plug in the range expander
    If you have version 1 of the range expander, you will not have the convenient Ethernet cable port  for initial configuration.  Everything will have to be done via wireless connections.
    Set your wireless card to have a static IP address of 192.168.1.200 and set the default gateway to 192.168.1.240.  This can be done in Network Connections, Properties, TCP/IP properties.
    Open your available networks and make sure you connect to the SSID of the range expander.
    Once you are connected to the network of the range expander, open your browser and type 192.168.1.240.  The setup screen for the range expander should appear.
    Leave the user name blank and enter "admin" for the password (Linksys default).
    UPLOAD the latest firmware to the range expander FIRST!  I believe it was off of the help tab on the range expander setup screen.
    Change the SSID to the same SSID used by your router.
    Make sure that the communication channel on the router and the range expander are set to the same number.  I used channel 6.
    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL SECURITY DISABLED AT THIS POINT!
    Save your changes before exiting!
    Unplug the access point.
    On your PC, delete any references to your network SSID from your preferred networks list.  If you were using WEP before, this can cause problems with your connection.  Go to Network Conncetions, select your Wireless card, then right click on properties, click on the Wireless Networks tab at the top of the screen and then clear any references to your SSID from the preferred networks list.
    Change your wireless card back to the mode of obtaining an IP address automatically.  (Change back your TCP/IP settings on the preference for the wireless card.)
    Plug in the router.  Wait 30 seconds and plug in the access point again.  You should have blue lights on the range expander and see the bottom light blinking.  You are communicating with the router!
    View the available networks on your PC and connect to your SSID – make sure it connects in unsecured mode.
    Test browsing to make sure your connection is working.
    Since the router and the range expander both have the same SSID, you can now access either the router or the range expander setup screens from your browser. TO re-enable WEP you MUST ENABLE SECURITY ON THE RANGE EXPANDER FIRST AND THEN ENABLE SECURITY ON THE ROUTER!  THE ORDER THAT YOU TURN ON SECURITY IS VERY IMPORTANT!  In your browser type 192.168.1.240 and enter the setup for the range expander.  Enable WEP and enter your pass code to generate the setting key.  Save the changes.  Then unplug the range expander.
    Enter 192.168.1.1 for your router and access the setup screen for the router.  Enable WEP and set the encryption key on the router to match the key on the range expander, save your changes!  MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE HEXADECIMAL SECURITY CODE GENERATED BY THE SOFTWARE.  You will need it in step 26.
    Turn off your router.  The range expander should also still be unplugged.
    On your PC go to your network card preferences and remove any references to your SSID in the preferred networks listing again (see step 16).
    TURN ON THE ROUTER FIRST!
    Wait 30 seconds then plug in the range expander.
    On your PC view available wireless networks.  Select the SSID of your network.  The computer will ask you to enter the Hexadecimal security code twice.  Once you are done the PC should connect to the network and you should be up and running!  The PC will remember the hexadecimal code for the future.
    GOOD LUCK!

I know I have the correct IP address and netword otherwise I could not print nor would the HP Utility "see" the printer. Any ideas - my PC cannot "see" the printer either.
    Thanks,
    BGI

    Router - Linksys E3100
    Reserved DHCP for the pinter xxx.127
    Access Point - WET650N - DHCP off using static IP
    I can print from my Mac using the xxx.127 IP adresss and the HP Utility can connect to the pinter and print the configuration page. However, I cannot access the printer via the browser.
