Hosting problem

[Don]

Since it didnt work in warcraft talk (yeah, wrong section), i am posting it here!

I look new but've allready been in there under the name of ''DemonOfNightmar'' since this account is dead (can't remember the password), i'm returning.

But now, i have a little hosting problem. I did like asked in the website (the helper of sd ryoko) and did configured my firewall and added the 2 ports i was told to add (Blizzard1, Blizzard2, IP adress, 6112 port, TCP and UDP).

But now, i have a router and need to fix it up (i hope you know how to). Yeah i need to do it but i don't know how to find it since i have windows vista and the programs are at different spots... If anyone know how to find my router's configurations and know how to fix it, please help me!!

Vista or not, configuring the router at your home is essentially the same.

Key in the routers IP adress into an explorer bar. Most new routers support configuration in this mannor.

Try 192.168.1.1

If you get hit with a password prompt, either its something you set up or factory default. Most routers come with documentation (they have to) telling you what the default is.

If your using a router with your cable, then I honestly wouldnt use windows firewall. The router essentially is a firewall by nature... it simply doesnt forward ports without your instruction.

WOW, SD_Ryoko come to the forum and answer MY thread, extrm!

But since i figured out everything, found password and username in another topis, this post was a lil useless but i give it a +10.

Now, the only thing i need to figure out is how to enter the router as an admin since iZ'm only an user (password: blank, username: user)....

I think i changed my password (the default one) to another one causing me to not find it anymoar. I think the only solution is to call my technician!

But still, thanks for the help SD!

Long time no see

Lol, or you can just reset the router

 

[Don]

and how do i do that?

 

[enouwee]

and how do i do that?

1. Pull the power plug
2. Count 'til 10
3. Plug it back

I think he meant reset to factory settings.

There should be one of those buttons that you need a needle to press. If there is, press that and hold it down for 5-10 seconds then restart your router. (Unplug, plug back in)

i allready did this tons of time when my internet had problems but still, dont have the password and can't oper any port!

That's why i'm so confused about those!

If your trying to reset the password on the router, theres often a tiny, black reset button either on the bottom, back or front. Mine is in the back. For good practice, hold it for a little while.

For some routers, this requires a special proprietary tool called a paperclip. We sell a variety of these for $4.99 each plus shipping.

After you've done this, the password should be the factory settings.

Two suggestions.

1. If you no longer have the paperwork and installation instructions that came with the router, go online to look for a PDF or HTML manual, using its manufacturer and model number.

2. When you combine 'factory defaults' and 'passwords' in the same sentance, the results are often one of follows:


(blank) / admin
(blank) / administrator
Admin / Admin
Root / Admin
Root / Administrator
Administrator / Administrator
