Hi all, great site by the way...
First, what I have in hardware: I have Yahoo DSL with a Speedstream 5100b modem and a D-Link 514 router. My PC is a 1GHZ generic PC. My network card is made by Realtek. Windows XP OS.
My Problem is: I cannot communicate with the Router whatsoever. I was running fine from January until August and then I took some update from either Yahoo or Microsoft (SP2) and everything stopped working. Bu stopped working I mean, that I am unable to open the browser and ping 192.168.0.1 and get into the Router software. I have plugged the WAN cable into the Router and the network cable from the router to the modem, restart the PC and when I try and communicate through the browser I get the generic "page not found" displayed on my monitor. If I try and PING the router via the DOS "CMD" page, the return address is get is someting like 164.182.*.*??? I think this is the Yahoo IP adress, but if I do a ipconfig /release and the renew command, but I am get nothing back on the screen. I do have all the correct lights on the modem and router, but no communication to be able to set up the router. I have also rest the router and modem at times to see if this would help, but it doesn't.
If I plug back into my WAN cable back into my modem I can get onto the internet no problem. I called D-Link tech support, and after an hour with them, they think MAYBE my router is bad, so since I live close enough to a electronics store I went and bought another router. I plug that one in and I get the SAME thing (can't talk to the router). So, I think its something within my OS that is holding me up. I do have all my LAN setting set to "Automatically" find IP adresses. I just don't know what it could be, I have tried everything I thought possible with it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this? Thanks for reading this...
