Cannot Connect to, Linksys' Web Based Utility, I need help

Expand Post »
I am trying to activate DMZ on my computer. I have a Linksys router and I am on my house's network. However when I enter the Web adress for the Web Utility, which is "http://192.168.1.1", it says "Page Cannot be displayed", I need help!

192.168.1.1 isn't the ipaddress of your computer. It's the ip address of the router, itself (which has a built-in web server which serves the configuration settings pages). Not being able to access it might be a problem communicating with the router, or with your firewall settings.

Re: Cannot Connect to, Linksys' Web Based Utility, I need help

If your IP is something like 192.168.1.x where x is a number greater than one, then that means that your router's DHCP server has assigned your computer an IP address. If your IP is something like 167.x.x.x then that means that your computer cannot connect to the router nor find a DHCP server, so is assigning itself its own IP address. What IP are you getting? This will help troubleshoot whether your computer can see the router at all.

Re: Cannot Connect to, Linksys' Web Based Utility, I need help

That's an awfully strange IP for a linksys router to be assigning - or for a computer to assign itself (IMO). Do you have any other nic cards or modems in the machine that might be handing out that ip?

You need to release the IP on your computer and reboot.....I've had that happen a few times over the years...a few reboots usually does the trick.

"You need to release the IP on your computer"

What does that mean? You mean change it? To what? 192.168.1.x?
