I cannot get into the 3COM 3CRWE754G72/A config screen

I've just taken delivery of a 3COM 3CRWE754G72/A.

I cannot get into the config screen. It should be at 192.168.1.1
I've done everything in the 3COM help & installation guide.

IPCONFIG shows my LAN has a very similar IP address as my USB
Bluetooth dongle. How do I get the LAN to be the 3COM IP address
instead of the Bluetooth?


Thanks in advance....

Eh, unfortunately you appear to lack a basic understanding of
networking and have no idea of the question, never mind the answer. I
have no idea where to start to describing to someone who knows nothing
about networking whatsoever how to setup a complete network, I think
I'm going to admit defeat this time and suggest you give someone a
ring and get them round.

Try opening your browser and entering 192.168.1.1
that works for me.
BUT I cannot get on to the Internet until I get into the config screen
and press connect
The products are very good but lacks very basic instructions.

You seem to have missed the point. The router doesn't lack basic
instructions, it uses a very complex system known as TCP\IP that takes
years to learn all about. If you could find out everything you needed
to know about networking and the internet from a 10 page instruction
book then there would be a lot of jobless sysadmins.

"someone who knows nothing about networking whatsoever"

Actually, I've worked with mainframe netwoks for about 20 years.
However, TCP/IP leaves me stunned and cold. All I need to know is how
to get into this box's configuration & setup.

Thanks.

Set the address of your PC to 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0,
default gateway 192.168.1.1 I'm ignoring the bit about Bluetooth
because it doesn't make sense.
