The111 0 #1 June 4, 2007 I have an old Netgear router, the "RT314". When I need to log into it for port forwarding, I go to http://192.168.0.1 with my browser. Right now one of the two PC's on my network will not do that. It comes up as an invalid webpage. Both PC's are using XP and IE7.0, and on the one that doesn't work I just get the generic IE "webpage cannot be found" error. It worked for a long time before now, and I've never seen this before... any ideas what has changed? The computer in question does still have access to the internet and the network.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pwln 0 #5 June 5, 2007 Find the little reset button, power off your computers, unplug the router, press and hold the reset button AND plug in the router. That "should" reset factory defaults. Power on your computers, then just go in and reset all of your settings. Don't forget to change your password. I assume you've tried https. It is also possible there is a firewall issue on the system that you are having problems with. Try to disable 3rd party firewalls (if XP / vista, windows firewall also).

PhreeZone 15 #7 June 5, 2007 Look at your hosts file, some times a nasty piece of spyware will mod it so that IP's reroute to null.

The111 0 #8 June 5, 2007 Where and what is hosts file? I have ports 1234, 4321, and 2538 reserved for P2P apps which require them. But I don't know if that's what you mean by "connected". I also scan with AVG daily so would hope no spyware slipped through. Guess I haven't run AdAware in a while though... will try that.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #9 June 5, 2007 Have you unplugged/replugged the router? I've never seen spyware hijack the hosts file.... but phree does work for an internet security company (shudder) c:\windows\system32/drivers/etc or c:\winnnt\system32/drivers/etc Is it sad I know that from memory?

pwln 0 #10 June 5, 2007 Yeah, what they said. I have not seen it to be a HOSTS file problem myself (But my hosts file gets rid of google ads for me). There is a small chance a newly installed program is causing the problem. It could also be a BHO (Browser Helper Object) There is a way to start IE7 without BHO's but I'm on a work system with IE6 right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #11 June 5, 2007 Well shit, your mention of "BHO's" made me think to try it in Firefox (which I thought for sure I had done before). And lo and behold, it WORKS in Firefox. So have we narrowed it down to IE somehow? I also tried it in IE6 (I have a hacked standalone version I use for web design) and it doesn't work there either... so it seems to be IE in general.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 0 #13 June 5, 2007 All security settings at default in IE. Even with Windows firewall off, still can't access router from IE. But I can, of course from Firefox. So the problem is now academic, since I have a way of getting into the router. But it still pisses me off.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 0 #15 June 6, 2007 Still don't know how to check my hosts file (although I now have the path to it) nor do I know how to check proxy settings (or what they are). I ran spyware checkers and am ok. I also ran Hijackthis, but I have no idea how to interpret these logs. There are several BHO's but they sound ok (see below). I also successfully used IE7.0 on my alternate O/S (Vista) to log into the router. So it is something specific to IE and my XP installation.

Derekbox 0 #17 June 6, 2007 To check your hosts file, open notepad, goto open file and paste this in "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" hit enter (the file is "hosts" and it does not have an extenstion, but for all intensive purposes, it is a texst file). At this point, you may or may not see anything. You may see an entry like this: # [Misc A - Z] 127.0.0.1 a8.net Anything started with # is a note, it is ignored. Now if someone tries to access the domain a8.net then it will automatically be forwarded to the IP 127.0.0.1, where it will get nothing and it will fail to load. Savy geeks have started compiling huge lists of known shit domains and use this trick to block access to them. Sometimes good domains can be added to this list. Also some malicious software may edit or rewrite this list and force page redirects, i.e. you goto www.google.com and end up on www.hotskydiveronmuleaction.com I would open a second text file, save it on your desktop, CUT everything out of your hosts file, save it on the back up, save/close the hosts file and restart. Now if this fixes the problem, well you have another problem (virus/trojan/etc) that edited your hosts file. But more than likely that is not the case (restore, or dont, if you dont know what host files are, and you have them then i would advise *NOT* restoring it). I personally would suspect it is your computer/browser causing the issue. As far as the hijack this log, you need to post it on any one of several forums where some ubergeeks will gladly flash there geekness and analyze it for you. Also if you are on a laptop, generally you should connect directly to the router via cat5, it isnt a huge deal (unless its the problem), but generally speaking, its safer and more reliable. Also, not knowing your router specifically, but more than likely there is a simple way to do a hard reset on the unit that will flush everything and from there you can reprogram the router. Many routers have means to edit the IP address used to access it and resetting the router will reset this to the default IP, the tech manual will answer that... Derek P.S.

The111 0 #18 June 6, 2007 Derek, I love you too. There is no file called hosts without an extension. There is hosts.ics, and there is nothing inside of it except comments. QuoteAlso, not knowing your router specifically, but more than likely there is a simple way to do a hard reset on the unit that will flush everything and from there you can reprogram the router. I can guarantee you the problem is not in the router. As I've said, I can get into the router using Firefox, OR using IE on my Vista partition... but not IE on the XP install on this machine.
