Belkin Router, Cannot Get Into The Router To Edit Security Settings

ronsgonawin

Hi,
I recently got digiweb Broadband and the got a wireless router, went this Belkin http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/6757340/c_1/1|cat_12160256|Wireless+networking|12160263/Trail/searchtext%3EWIRELESS.htm.

Ok so i set it up last night and worked well with the the wireless and tried it with another computer and all was good, but when i went to enter 192.168.2.1 (to config the router for security) i could not get in.

I think it could be something to do with when asked about the ip address, i was given choices for static, Dynamic, pppoe and another one i chose dynamic because when i was talking to someone from digiweb and they told me to pick an automatic ip address but because the option wasn't there i choose dynamic.

So Suppose my question is was i correct to do so and if i was how to i get into the router to config it,

oh also whenever i typed in ipconfig in the run command it would flash up for a second and then dissappear

please any help would be great

You could try resetting the router - there is usually a pinhole at the back where you can press in for a number of seconds and it will restore it to factory settings.

If you type "CMD" in the Start->RUN box
Then type "ipconfig" it wont just flash up.

Then find the IP of your gateway and type that into an IE address bar

Just an update, restting the router worked.
