aniken I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it Donating Members 4,316 Member For: 22y 6m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, south west Posted 27/11/04 10:59 AM Share Posted 27/11/04 10:59 AM Flush your internet explorer cache and reboot, then the configurator should come back up.I'm using Firefox.I will be a bit more specific. The default network address of the router/modem is http://192.168.0.1. When you enter that in the browser, you are supposed to be prompted for a username and password (defaults are "admin" and "password" respectively). This lets you in so that you can change all the options - firewall, etc... Now, I did this first time, and it was working. But, I changed one of the security settings to WEP, I entered a passphrase, and it created 4 keys (I did not write these keys down). I then tried to follow the rest of the installation instructions, which included disconnecting the router. The internet connection through the modem has not worked since. Also, now when I enter the 192 address thingy, it says connection refused, so I can't get back in to change any settings.Somewhere in there, I also tried to do something through the windows networking thingo, but this only seemed to make things worse - I had to create a key there as well (only 1, but I did write it down). All that works now is that the wireless adaptor card can talk to the wireless router/modem, but that is it. No internet. I think this is why the reset thing on the router didn't do anything.I'd love to start this over again, and even used system restore to go back to a few days ago and do the whole install over again. But the damn router (or maybe the wireless adaptor card) will not forget what it has been told, so I get nowhere Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14000-my-computer/page/4/#findComment-191739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you should be able to plug into the network port ont he router, if you have a lan card in your pc.when you set your wep key use something like nameaddressphoneumberwhateveryouwant. Try to use symbols and numbers. I hope this helps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14000-my-computer/page/4/#findComment-191746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing to do is call Hel$tra and see if they can walk you through making sure your settings....this should take 40mins on hold ..It could also be a virus/worm sending its keylogging Call Hel$tra and see if they can help you, but its not right unless you are running XP on a 486 :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14000-my-computer/page/4/#findComment-191897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
