97977 2002-11-12 02:44:00 My friend bougt a Dynalink RTA210 Adsl router for connection to Xtra's Jetstream.

There's no setup application came with it except a pdf instruction help document. I tried to follow the instructions but lead me to nowhere!

The manual says, for Web configuration, type in 192.168.1.1 and enter the password to start configure the router. But, how and where to enter the above IP address?

Has anyone else using the above Adsl router and has successfully configured it?

Cheers

97978 2002-11-12 02:57:00 I'm guessing ... but if you use your telnet emulator to connect to it at that IP address, it will give you a prompt for the password, and then allow you to do the configuration. (If you are using XP, I believe "Hyperterminal" is the Telnet equivalednt). Graham L (2)
97979 2002-11-12 03:12:00 In internet explorer (or any web browser) enter the number as if you were entering a web site address: http://192.168.1.1 You can enter the password etc from there.

I've had my external adsl modem since Friday and, of course, I'm an expert now! ;)

97981 2002-11-12 03:35:00 Can you ping that address? If you can't, check the cables ...

Try without the ADSL connected to the phone line.

97982 2002-11-12 04:02:00 It might pay to set a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 for the computer you are using. If it has been online before, you might have let it be 192.168.1.1 ... the same as the default for your router. That would not work. Graham L (2)
97983 2002-11-12 04:34:00 The IP address for the Computer is 192.168.1.2. This is a new computer and has never been online.

This is a small home network of 4 computers. The router is at present connected to the hub. Can this be the problem?

97984 2002-11-12 04:46:00 I would be inclined to have only one computer directly plugged into the router while doing the setup. This may need a crossover cable (or have it as the only computer plugged into the hub, then the hub connected to the router). Basically, once you can ping the router, you should be OK. If you can't ping it, you can't set it. :D

Did you get any response from the router? Try using the "/" after the IP address ... this is the strict syntax.: "192.168.1.1

My routers are much easier --- they have serial console ports, and I can plug a terminal in. :D

97985 2002-11-12 04:53:00 If I recall correctly there was a quick setup guide that came with my RTA210
It only took a few minutes to get going
The NZ Dynalink Help Desk is also extremely helpful (and free)

97986 2002-11-12 05:14:00 If the router is connected to the hub, and its like my Alcatel router, it needs to use the uplink port on the hub. Or a crossover cable? godfather (25)
