446191 2006-04-14 06:53:00 Hi, I am trying to load this router via USB and when I get to the part where the web browser need to open and search for 192. 168.1.2 no such luck. I can ping the router but that's about it. Does anyone have the right info for getting this up & running on Win XP Pro?

446192 2006-04-14 07:01:00 i got XH1169.. not sure if that's what you have
i never did set it up through usb because i use it through ethernet so i can't answer your question directly..but..

if usb's not working you might want to try to access it through the ethernet port first
usb need some drivers and stuff to get things working
if go through lan than it might be easier to get into the admin section if you know how to set your window's network settings
then maybe you can config something that will let you get into your router

446194 2006-04-14 08:37:00 Thanks guys, I havn't tried the ethernet connection as yet, but yes, I can't get to the router set up page! I am already running a home network through a 4 port hub, but one of the three other computers won't connect for some reason, I can't even get a ping out of it, and I thought It was all set up for networking? So I decided to try this method. Anyway I will try using the router through ethernet.
Thanks

446196 2006-04-14 10:16:00 Which model of router? I managed to get my XH1175 ethernet router installed and going last night. But like you I got lost trying to follow instructions in the quickstart booklet. I was so bamboozled trying to follow the quickstart procedures and not getting the screens that I was led to believe were there that I phoned DSE support in Auckland (the guy in the local branch admitted it was out of his depth) and the guru up there handheld me through the procedures. All up and running within 5mins (great being able to talk to the guy whilst typing the info on the screen). The problem was that the Quickstart booklet was out of date and the user manual has the correct info. My advice - go ring the Auckland DSE support gurus. BaldEd (5136)

446198 2006-04-15 03:24:00 What addresses are you using in your LAN? If you are using 10.x.y.z, you probably won't be able to access the 192.168.a.b address. You need to be "local" to it, by default. Just change the IP address of one machine while you do it, and change the device's IP address to suit your LAN addressing.

I found this the hard way while trying to set up a Belkin Access Point. ;)
