Can't access router from browser

limerick_woody

Hi All,
For some reason i can no longer access my router (Eircom D1000) by typing http://192.168.1.254/ into (multiple) browsers. This used to work because i setup my ip-camera a few months ago. Does the router automatically update the firmware? Any idea what i might try. I have the same problem (this webpage is unavailable) on a couple of different laptops - and an ipad.

No problems connecting to the DSL though. Any ideas what i could try. I would prefer not to reset the router to defaults - setting up the ip-camera was a pig.

Open a command prompt and run

ipconfig

Check for default gateway. If not present, run

ipconfig /all

I think this is ok?

Try..

ping 192.168.1.254

Also try direct wired connection. Wireless access may be disabled.

I tried a direct connection earlier - no change.

Reboot the router and try again.

limerick_woody

yea - did that a couple of times. I'm stumped - anything goofy with the router you think?

degsie

The tiny web server on the router could be borked. Maybe a config backup/router factory reset/config restore might fix it.

limerick_woody

Probably heading that way, but setting up the router to work with the ip-camera is painful. It might also not work after a reset and i'll need a new router.

It's working fine, i just can't access the thing to change some settings - my young-fella's xbox online needs looking at. Unlucky him i think.

Router is probably 192.168.1.1

Anything that is connected to it, last number changes

Not when his ipconfig posted above States it's.254

Try making exception in your firewall for router incase it is blocked back.

Turn off your camera, try that ping again. See if it fails. Sometimes those cams can do strange things to expose themselves to the net. Especially if you've managed to forward 80 on an internal interface.

How do you access the cameras normally? And did you set them up with forwards or PPPoE?

If you turn on telnet in windows (google it) then

telnet 192.168.1.254

should get you a zyxel login prompt.

OK, i was able to telnet into the router and login. It gives me access to a command-shell. Does this help?

The camera is currently off. I used port-forwards to set it up. I don't think port 80 though.

degsie

From command prompt try...

"telnet 192.168.1.254 80"

See if you get anything back.

Download angry ip scanner and scan the ip - it will tell you what ports are open.

It may be that the web server is not on port 80

You've got a bad port forward in there would be my suspicion. You could fix it via telnet, but wouldnt be easy. Easiest to wipe and start again.

limerick_woody

Thanks everyone. I'll give it some thought.

Since that didn't work, could you try accessing the router by going to:
http://192.168.1.254:8080
