| 277796 | 2004-10-03 01:16:00 | Right. For some strange reason I cannot connect to my router's web interface using firefox, but can using I.E. I'm running Windows XP Pro - IP settings are all correct. I can reach the router behind the troublesome one from firefox though - and I can browse any other website. I always get a "The connection was refused when attempting to contact 192.168.0.1:8080" error. I believe the actual port is infact 8080, but even if I actually tell it to go to 192.168.0.1:80 it will still give me the same error. I have no firewall. I have not changed anything on the computer since yesterday when it worked. Any help as to how to solve the problem, or narrow it down would be appreciated. |

| 277797 | 2004-10-03 01:24:00 | reboot your router. | metla (154) | ||
| 277798 | 2004-10-03 02:49:00 | Perhaps IE is set to use a proxy, but 'bypass proxy server for local addresses' isn't selected? The router shouldn't be the problem, as it works in Firefox. And you can visit all other sites in IE? Are there any computers on your network serving http? If so, you can see if you can visit them in IE. George |

I believe the actual port is infact 8080, but even if I actually tell it to go to 192.168.0.1:80 it will still give me the same error. Why do you need to specify port 80? This is the default port for http (web servers). Have you just tried to enter in your router's IP 192.168.0.1? |

| 277800 | 2004-10-03 08:24:00 | Well it's an automatic redirection so I thought I may force it - but it did't. As for the router, it's been reset numerous times and even factory reset! And it still doesn't work... |

| 277801 | 2004-10-03 09:22:00 | Yeah, Firefox cant access the auckland university page or any of those associated with it (www.cecil.edu, www.auckland.ac.nz etc) Anyone else having similar problems. |

| 277802 | 2004-10-03 10:13:00 | Using Firefox 0.9.3, I can access Auck Uni site no probs. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 277803 | 2004-10-03 10:39:00 | No problems with the sites you posted Ashley using Fierfox 1.0PR. Growly, there is no earthly reason for Firefox not to work with your router unless some specific setting is preventing it. You say you are not using a firewall, what about XP's built in one, can you check any security logs to see what is going on? What setting do you have under Preferences > Security, how do these differ from IE's? What model router are you using? Cheers Murray P |

| 277804 | 2004-10-03 23:19:00 | Odd. On my PC, I can't access either using firefox whether it be 0.9, 0.93, or 1.0PR, but I can using Internet Explorer. Perhaps its a settings issue? | Ashley Matthews (550) | ||
| 277805 | 2004-10-04 00:57:00 | I had a similar problem for ages (well it could be similar). I could not get Firefox to work across my wireless network and IE worked fine; it just made a shambles of most sites, apart from the Mozilla sites and maybe one or two others. Then I just imported IE settings and updated java runtime and now it works fine & I don't really know why as I had FF set to work thru' my proxy server, port numbers correct etc.. My wireless access point has an IP address, and maybe when I imported IE settings, somehow it fixed it?? Long shot? But it works now and I like Firefox best of all browsers (this year anyway). Maybe this is of some help, I hope so. |
