If I've understood you correctly you want to use the Sky router on PlusNet? In that case you'll need to FLASH THE ROUTER first. You can use any firmware you like when following the tutorial (I recommend UberGT). Make sure you follow the steps to recover your username and password should you need it in future for Sky.

As for the router's web config gui not working, I have no idea. So long as the router is wired to the PC and the NIC is working then it should load straight up. You're not trying to connect wirelessly, are you? Even that should work, but just in case...

Some routers default to 192.168.1.1 instead, worth a try.

The Sky router (a Netgear DG834GT) is definitely 192.168.0.1 (I have one myself

).

Which router's given your machine an IP address, subnet mask et al - if one's given out 192.168.1.1, then you won't be able to access 192.168.0.1...

Hi, you are putting the HTTP before the router IP are you, as I have the netgear one from sky and it is definately 192.168.0.1 to access it.

once you type 192.168.0.1 is there a pop up box asking for user name and password, if so its usually:
Username: Admin
Password: Sky

So anyone on this forum know how to do that then?

How to do what? If you're getting the username and password box, you've already got the router's web interface...
