**omg its nlm** · January 26th, 2004

I cannot connect to my router and I am lost. I just removed zone alarm I thought that could be a problem. I have no idea....

Any help would be appericated.

Do you mean that you cannot get to it in the browser? I'm not sure what NetGear's normal IP is, but it is usually http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 can you ping either address?

Yeah through the browser http://192.168.0.1 If I ping it, times out.

well that tells you something.

Check hardware to make sure your physically connected, and if you know you are, try resetting the router.

**omg its nlm** · January 26th, 2004

Did all that, I can connect to the internet

Thanks for the quick response

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

so is it working?

**omg its nlm** · January 26th, 2004

well not really, everything works I just cant configure it.

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

well that means its not working

I assume that you have it set up as a gateway, so it is physically there and should be pingable.

**Xie** · January 26th, 2004

well if all fails you could probably just reset it (if you remember all your settings) ... could also try just unplugging it and waiting a few secs and plugging it back in (kinda like a nice reboot).

**omg its nlm** · January 26th, 2004

not sure what happend but when i do an ipconfig i am getting my external ip. and not the 192 one.

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

sounds like you are not going through the router at all. did we mix up the cables from the BB modem?

**Xie** · January 26th, 2004

or did you put yourself in the DMZ by chance?

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

even if in the DMZ you would have a LAN IP

true dat ... my bad .. yeah he would have to have router set to no external admin and must have messed up cables bypassing the router?

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

thtas the only thing I can think of? NLM get over here

celticfan11 · January 26th, 2004

what is the external ip you are getting?
is it 63.x.x.x sutin like that
i had that issue in another post
it was windows default IP for DHCP

**Xie** · January 26th, 2004

Did you configure DHCP corretly w/ a range of internal ips to hand out? If not it may be like celticfan11 said ...

celticfan11 · January 26th, 2004

you configure DHCP in the router....
give the lan ips a range from 192.168.0.X x is the range of numbers u can change

i had this issue and i couldnt connect to anything andi got a random IP from nowhere which was the windows dhcp ip

**j79zlr** · January 26th, 2004

celticfan the IP you are talking about is 169.254.x.x and that is assigned when windows cannot find the DHCP server.

I think his issue is different.

celticfan11 · January 26th, 2004

mixed my ips up
