| 140720 | 2003-05-02 05:13:00 | Is it possible for some one to get into my DSL router and change the user name and password. The reason I ask is last night my connection fell over and when I had a look at the settings in my router the user name had been changed to games.xadsl.co.nz or something along those lines, and the password was 3 digits my password is a bit longer than that. So am I being paranoid or could it have happened PS I have never logged on to XTRA's game sever in my life and no one else in the house would know how to. Cheers Jim B |

What type of router and what settings? I take it you have changed the routers logon and password + your ISP's password. Cheers Murray P |

I remember one time when I happened to stumble across cable modem that when looking at it's webpage already had the username and password in a box when clicking "login" it logged in and appeared as if the settings could be mucked around with. I notified the company and last time I looked it had been fixed. |

| 140723 | 2003-05-02 06:25:00 | Jimbo, your router sounds like it has reverted to it's "factory settings".....you may have tweaked it accidentally. Yo will need to re-enter your jetstream login ID and password and then reboot the router - NOT your PC. At least, that is how the configuration goes in my D-Link router. brig |

| 140724 | 2003-05-02 06:46:00 | cheers all It is a DLink DSL 500 Yes I have changed all the passwords and usernames Remote access is disabled......... I think......... Would the default or factory setting be games.xadsl.xtra I am sure this or something similar is what it was changed to |

| 140725 | 2003-05-02 08:20:00 | Jimbo, yes the factory settings are as you described: user@jetstreamgames.co.nz and a randomly numbered 3 digit login password. It allows you to "verify ADSL line connectivity and conduct speed tests" (if you add : /speed/ to the end of that user name), even if you don't have an active jetetream account (I think?). Do you have things back in working condition now? brig |
