iTrader: (1)

right..

Ive totally lost the connection now.. no internet at all. Just comes up with that page that says "Not Connected" tried turning it off and on, but no joy. Even when I put the cable in, it no longer works..

Any ideas please? Using someone elses at the moment.

Adrian

Paid the bill? Been cut off?

Westy

iTrader: (1)

lol..

yeah Ive paid the bill.. its direct debit ya cheeky fooker

bit weird tho, all was fine, then my wireless went wrong, then I pushed reset in, and nothing works..

Adrian

If you press reset on the router it will go back to factory default.

Depending on the router, it may be off as default.

Westy

its one of those BT routers..

Adrian - I did the reset the way the manual seai, ie push the reset button in whilst the power is on.. but it says the power light should turn red.. it never did, just a load of lights flashed..

Even now, the light for the wireless is on, but my laptop doesnt find it.. just others also, even with the cable in, it says connected, yet the page says expired, or not connected?

any ideas.. please

is It a Bt home hub?

Stu.H

IF its NTL/Telewest/Virgin connection, you HAVE to unplug power from the cable modem and back in again when swapping devices, ie straight to laptop/pc or wireless router.

what IP address are you getting when connected directly?

Start/Run
type 'cmd'
then type 'ipconfig'

If its a 169.x.x.x address, or 0.0.0.0, you arent connected to the internet.

Maybe try (in command prompt window again)
ipconfig /release

then

ipconfig /renew

Westy

no, its a BT Voyager I think.

Stu.H

OK, sounds like BT ADSL

What happens when you try and 'dial up'

Westy

Im not with NTL/Telewest/Virgin connection..

I will have to see what IP address I get once Im back home. If I do this,

Maybe try (in command prompt window again)
ipconfig /release

then

ipconfig /renew

is that some sort of reset??

thanks

Westy

Cannot find server or DNS Error

Yeh basically drops the IP you have and then grabs another from whatever source you are connected to....

Stu.H

OK, basically ADSL is a digital dialup service if you like, it requires authentication with a username and password, whereas the NTL/Virgin etc connections rely on MAC authentication (ID of the cable modem)

When you log into windows, you will either need to double click an icon and 'connect' or most probably you have auto-connect, (you might see a box come up saying dialling/authenticating etc etc)

How does your modem/router connect to your PC? I pressume by ethernet cable?

I wonder if, by doing the reset, it has somehow lost it's settings, and isn't dialing into your broadban connection....

The modem will want a username and password to use to find your ISP, then it dials your ISP and connects to the internet from there.

My ADSL at my mums was like that - router/modem was what actually recieved the internet, and the PC's connected to it (via ethernet) just took this internet straight away. When I opened IE I didn't have to dial in as such, or do any connecting...

Have you checked to make sure you network port is enabled? Should show two PC screens in the taks bar by the clock. If not, go to START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONNECTIONS and see if your 10/100 connection is turned on or off.....

Westy

iTrader: (1)

right,

tried all the things that Stu has said, but no luck The IP addy wasnt 0.0.0.0. or the other that you said...

Thrush.. its a wireless router, but I had my PS3 plugged in by ethernet, so when the wireless went donw, I plugged the cable into laptop instead.. it worked fine.. then I put a pin on the reset and the buttons all flashed Now the lights all seem fine, wireless doesnt work, but when I put the cable in, it says connected, but the page doesnt display..

Adrian

Sounds like DNS is fucked.

Did you get a book with the router? If so its time to RTFM

Westy

iTrader: (1)

Adrian.. Ive read the book, well its more a leaflet and held the reset button in.. it says the power light should turn red, but mine didn't, all the lights flashed..

Stu.H

Things like this are SOO difficult to diagnose over the web/phone, id prolly fix it in a few mins if I was there
