dhcp off - how to access

[Ish]

Hi

I have an adsl router that has dhcp & nat turned off in the settings. Is there anyway I can access it's settings without resetting it back to default?

I'm guessing you dont know the IP address of the router? So unless you have changed it find the manual online and it will have the standard address in there.

Start button -> Run... -> type "cmd" into the box (without the quotes)

Now you have a command shell open, type "ipconfig" (without the quotes)

take note of the Default Gateway address

Open a web browser and type the IP address into the address bar (for example, 192.168.1.1)

This should open up the routers built in html configuration page

If it asks for a username and password you may need to consult the manual for the default settings (if you havnt changed it that is), or try:

admin / admin
admin / password
your isp email address / your isp password
admin / [nothing]
admin / administrator

If you get it in, great! If not, you need to do a hard reset (button on the back of the router? Press it in for up to ten secs probably)

DHCP is switched off on the router. So that won't work.

Most routers use 192.168.1.0 range, they're usualy 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254/

Connect your PC to the router, go into network settings. Set you IP address to 192.168.1.[any number between 2 & 253] and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 leave the rest blank. Then try the two addresses I suggested.

ah yeah, good point

will need to set a static IP then, what is the brand and model of the router?



[edit] nope, got that wrong lol thats loopback, man I had a late nite

It will if you've manually set it, and if you haven't manually set an IP you won't be able to access the router anyway.
If you haven't set a default gateway but have set an IP, it'll almost certainly be the first or last IP in the subnet, i.e. 1 or 254 in the last octet.

Hi

I know the ip of the router is 192.168.10.1 and DHCP & NAT are turned off.

If I connect a cat 5 cable from my laptop to port 1 of the router should I beable to access it by typing the ip as I can't?

I think I should explain what I am trying to do:-

I have a linksys router(192.168.10.1) connected to be broadband. Port 1 of the router goes to the network in of an untangle web filtering server(192.168.10.2). The network out from the untangle server goes to port 1 of a 24 port swith. Pc's are then connected to the switch.

It is the untangle server which takes care of DHCP & NAT.

What I need to know is how I can access the linksys router settings?

Thanks

In that case plug the cable in to the router - Set your network card to 192.168.10.50 and open a webpage and type 192.168.10.1 and you can get the admin page

Thanks. I now understand what I was doing wrong.
