Fuck you Linksys
 

If they're going to make their products so you have to visit a website to set them up, then they should at least make sure the site is up all the time.

:BangBang:

Can anyone else hit this address?

http://192.168.1.1/

I'm sure it will start working as soon as I go to bed, (or probably a few seconds after I post this.)

thats your internal IP dawg

that should be the router ip addy bro....

:1orglaugh

OH JESUS!!!!

This has got to be the most hilarious thread posted today.

How is it my internal IP address if it says to log into that site on their support forum?

In case you haven't noticed, I know nothing about networking.

It's an internal address man, they make fucking awsome equipment, normally is the user that fucks up!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Just plug your modem into the WAN port, then your PC into one of the other ports. Just for giggles restart the router, modem and your PC (unless you know how to release/renew the IP). Then log in with "admin" and no password.

I don't find it funny. The man doesn't know computer's hardware so all the geeks laugh at him? wtf?

Ahh, I understand now. So why would this not work all of a sudden?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

its access to the router internal just like a cable modem you can log into the ip for that cable modem for instance ambit modmes are 192.168.100.3 you can log into them. make sure everything is plugged in proper and you should be able to log in fine.

This is a board filled with geeks. We're all webmasters. It's not like this is a fucking cooking forum. We're all fairly computer literate here I would imagine. I'm just having fun, dipshit.

people live on this board to make fun of others ,
thats life

192.168.1.1 is the adress of YOUR ROUTER. If the page comes up blank you have not properly set up the network.

Open your internet connection properties.
Set your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Set your Ip to 192.168.1.101
Set default gateway to 192.168.1.1
Set your dns to your isp's dns numbers as normal.

If you have a dhcp based cable or dsl modem then release your ip.
Plug modem into router, plug router into pc all via network cables. No crossover cables needed.
Now turn on the router.


open browser and type in 192.168.1.1
Pass is admin
Tell it to dhcp renew.
Now configure router for static ip's on the 192.168.1.xxx block.

You now have internet access

I've restarted a few times now and even unplugged the power cable.

I'll try it again right now.

Since all the networking geeks are here to laugh at me, stick around for a few minutes, maybe you can help me get this working.

:1orglaugh

This is what is commonly known to previous tech-support people as an ID10T error.
The problem lies between the keyboard and the back of the chair.

READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.

Hit me up, I'll give you a hand.

bwhahahahahahahahahaha cheers I needed a laugh! :thumbsup

I actually thought you were joking at first. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

There's a difference between making fun of someone and slapping someone upside the head who obviously hasn't read the instructions, followed them carefully, and then posts a flaming bashfest on the manufacturer as if it's their fault.

Here ya go... In order: (ASSUMING XP)

1. Plug your ethernet cable from your computer into your linksys on #1-4 ports (any of them is fine)
2. Plug IN your linksys router and your computer (power is good)
3. Start / Control Panel / Network Connections - right click on your LAN connection, click properties. Click TCP/IP, click properties. Make sure Obtain an IP Address automatically is set. Make sure Obtain DNS ... is set. Click OK.
4. Reboot if it doesnt work right away.

Report back if that fails to give you your linksys menu.

make sure you also change user and pass all sys routers have same user and pass by default...any question ask away

if you still have problems, call linksys. Their tech support is FAST.

Just for the record, I don't even have highspeed access here, I've never used a cable modem or DSL in my life because I can't get it where I live, so I have no modem hooked into this router.

I just wanted to set this up so I can share files from my laptop to my other PC, plus I want to use the linksys wireless cams when I build my new house this year for a security system.

I got a kick out of your thread where you asked for someone to name ALL TGPs so you could submit to them. May I make fun of you here in case I forget to revisit that gem of a thread?

That works too, but the second he wants to play with port forwarding he'll wish he went static :)

I did read the manual, and I had it working at one point, but I upgraded the firmware which seemed to work fine. Then I started fucking around with some other shit and I obviously messed something up.

packet 127.0.0.1

Totally depends whether he has multiple people on it. But good point. Its easy enough to change later once its up and running.

You basicaly want to use it as a switch then. It should owrk right out of the box then and not even need to access any admin features.

My Linksys came with an install CD also. Main computer, secondary pc's....You have one of those? It sets properties for you.

I was about to suggest updating it.. too late now :) I'm using the updated firmware myself and love it.

So since I am not hooking this into cable or DSL, I guess it doesn't matter what I choose for "Internet Connection Type" on the setup page?

automatic config - DHCP
or
Static IP, etc.

I have a wireless g card in my laptop. So I need to access the admin features to setup security features, right?

Yeah you can go dhcp. But if you want to limit access to other computers/hardware on the netwok static makes it easier.

are you blonde?

Evil.... Do you have an ICQ number I can contact you with? I want to discuss something about sponsorhostedgalleries.com

Only my ass hairs. You fuckers act like everyone is born with a router stuck up their butt. This is the first time I have ever used one in case you haven't noticed.

anyone can now access your entire harddrive

I thought everyone had a router in there ass by now.
Humm...

Sure. I'll turn it on right now.

And now that I have it working, will one of you smart people tell me the simplest way I can share my 56k modem connection that is on this computer with my laptop? I had it working before I upgraded the firmware but I really don't know how. (It's the blonde ass hairs showing through again.)

I want to be able to go take a dump while I make you all a "thank you" post on my laptop.

:glugglug

Stay out of my gay porn folders.

I am a bit late on this one, but you sir deserve this picture in your post.

waiting reply :)

Blah blah blah, like I said, first time I have ever laid hands on a router, never used a cable modem before, so I had no idea about internal IP addresses and such. I am in 56k land for at least another year.

...says the person who hasn't figured out how to hotlink their sig.

best laugh I've had in days :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Guess you don't get out much.

haha owned :thumbsup

I had to get at least one jab in after this embarrassment!
