WRT160N v3: Cannot connect to router setup web page with current Firefox or IE

Every time I try to connect to the admin page of my router, I get "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."  This happens with FIrefox 11, and started when I upgraded to 8 or 9.  A machine running FF 3.6 does not exhibit this problem; I get right in.  What IE 9 says is "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" (after complaining about the expired certificate).
I ran Wireshark to see if I could learn anything, but all I could figure out was this:
https handshake was OK.
First TLS packet is received by router, which then immediately issues a reset and ends the connection.  I don't know why.
Has anyone seen this? or have I got a screwed up configuration (or router)?
Solved!

I'm not sure what this has to do with my problem; my difficulty is only in trying to talk to the router configuration page.  Everything else works just fine.
~~ Tools > Options
~~ Advanced (tab) -> Network (tab) > "Setting"
~~ (X) Auto-detect proxy setting for this network
I have "use system proxy settings".  Since this is a home network and I'm not using a software proxy on my machine, I know there is nothing between me and the router.
Second, let me know if you have enabled 'https' in the router management page. What is the IP address on the computer when connected to the router. To check the IP address that you are getting from the Router... You can check the IP address in the following manner:
# Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
# A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
This is not going the right direction, but to satisfy your curiosity:
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.244.122.142(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.244.122.1
   DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.244.122.1
These are correct. (Since my telco DSL has me behind its own NAT router and has assigned my modem address 192.168.1.2, so I could not use Cisco/Linksys's manufacturer default address settings.)
There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….  
If it provides the valid IP address then try to connect the router to a different computer and then try to open the router setup page...
I have a linux virtual host (thanks to VMware) now running Firefox 5, and it can talk to the router setup page just fine, once I accept and save the invalid certificate the router presents, at https://10.244.122.1.  So I conclude the problem is to do with the later version of Firefox (currently 11, but I had this problem with 10 and maybe with 8 and 9).

  • I cannot access my router's web configuration interface since Firefox 4. It does not let me enter a password with the username blank (as specified by the router manufacturer). Is there a workaround for this?

    since updating to Firefox 4, I cannot access my router's configuration page (http://192.168.x.x). When prompted for the username and password,Firefox's log in window does not accept a blank username field (The router does not require a username, only a password, and it's the default password). If I click OK, the password entry just comes up again. This works fine in other browsers. Is there anything I can do about this?

    I had this issue, too, and fixed it by turning off the option "Tell Websites I do not want to be tracked" under Options->Advanced->Browsing.

  • Cannot open links in a web page with FF5 why?

    I was sort of tricked into downloading version 5 but now I find that when I am in a website, I cannot open any links within that site whether for another tab, page, or pop up window. I have No Script and Ghostery and aloow the entire page but that makes no difference. Can I return to previous version without a problem or am I going to screw up my entire browser or even the os.

    I would try pulling up the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the IP address for the printer in to a browser and set a static IP address & DNS. 
    The information for the default gateway, subnet mask and that IP address can be accessed from the Setup menu on the front panel,  go to Setup>> Reports>> Network summary  and that will print it off.
    Once you have entered the IP in to a Browser and have the EWS pulled up, navigate to the tab at the top labeled “Networking”. Then click on IPv4 in the left column; that will bring up the Address configuration page.  Set the radio button to manual and fill out the IP address, Default gateway and Subnet mask with the information from the report. Do not worry about filling out the portion titled WINS server, that can be left alone.
    You will then want to fill out the DNS portion of the page, The Preferred should be set to 8.8.8.8 and the alternative/secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4. Then click “apply”
    Power cycle the printer. Turn it off, wait 30 seconds and then turn it back on. Once it is completely up and running reattempt to connect to web services.

  • Cannot connect to target eHR web site

    I cannot connect to eHR target web site. from my home computer which is running windows 7.
    I get this error message from Chrome
    "Not Found The requested URL /SecurityBrokerage/forms/login.asp was not found on this server."
    This error from IE 10  gives me
    "The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404"
    I get the same error from my laptop that has windows xp IE 8.
    the eHR web site is assessed from this page.
    target.com/spot/team-services#?lnk=fnav_t_spc_1_13
    At work (windows xp IE 8 ) I was able to access the website so I think it is a Verizon problem

    Works for me on Windows 7 and Firefox.
    My guess is that the OP has received an IP address that is defined in a Bogon filter somewhere that identifies that address as a "bad" site. If that is the problem it should be easy to fix, just turn off the router before going to bed and turn it on the next morning, it is very likely that a new IP address with be assigned, and the problem will disappear. It might be a good idea to record the current IP address and then check the new one to make sure it has actually changed.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    First do the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Firefox 20.0.1 with Shockwave 11.7.700.169 crashes when you access web pages with video content

    I have a problem with Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 with Shockwave flash 11.7.700.169. When I access a web site / web page with some content that requires Shockwave (usually videos) I can view the video, however, when I exit Firefox, it will crash with "Firefox encountered a problem - check for a solution ...". I also have a web site "MyHeritage" that when I access a family tree I repeatedly get a message "Video driver stopped working - NVIDIA driver ... has successfully recovered". If I disable Shockwave, Firefox will not crash in both cases, unfortunately, I cannot watch any video content.
    I did go to the Adobe web site and updated what I thought was my version of Shockwave, unfortunately this installed Director for netscape V12.2, I have disabled this plug-in.
    BTW - running Firefox in safe mode (add-ons disabled) stopped my NVIDIA driver from crashing and also stopped Firefox from crashing when exiting.

  • How can I print web pages with HP psc 2175 printer?

    Hi,
    I'm having difficulty printing web pages with my HP psc 2175 printer. The printer spits out many pages before the actual page I want printed and then at times it doesn't print all of the section desired.
    In fact, when I copied one page the other day, saved it as a pdf file to my computer, opened the file and the document still would not print.
    Anyone have any idea what could be happening?

    Any suggestions?
