finding and editing my router
I need to know how to find "where" my router is. And then I need to know how
to change the information to that I can "open up a port and send to and from another computer. Something about "virtual port forwarding"?. I work at an office that uses two servers. And our support is unable to log in and communicate with one of the servers because our "router is locked"? So I need to find it and change or add a port number, and the IP address. Make any sense? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. -- edisw02101960 |

finding and editing my router
start/run, type :
CMD /K IPCONFIG The "Default Gateway" address is your router. (i.e. http://192.168.0.1 Clicking that link right here in this message could possibly open your router software.) -- Was this post helpful to you? Then click the "Yes" button, below.

That's the router; enter that address into the address bar of a browser. You'll get a login prompt. You will also need to know the username and password for the router. This is often unchanged from stock, so check the manual for it; these are usually available online. These days, the defaults are sometimes written on the unit's label. Often, it's a combination of the word "admin" and the enter key, but it varies from brand to brand. The manual will also give you directions for port forwarding and unblocking. If the default ID and password do not work, you need to find out who has control of the router and get the information from them. You *can* reset it to factory defaults, but this will have other effects that you may not want to deal with. HTH -pk |
