Strange problem with access on a Belkin 54G Router

Hi,

I was round my friend's earlier, helping him set up his WLAN. He bought the
Belkin WLAN comprising of Modem/Router and 1xUSB Adpater all 54G. We set up
the USB adapter on the 2nd machine whilst he shutdown his game on his main
PC. We got the router plugged in and his Zoom ADSL modem working through
the router so we could get online on the main PC. To sortmout the
configuration of the PC's and the router, I went to 192.168.2.1 and got in
successfully. The PC then crashed caused by non other than MSN Messenger
*rolls eyes*. We fully shut down the 2nd PC, and powered off at the wall
for both to give a full close down. After waiting for a minute, we turned
on the main system. All looked OK, seeing as I could browse to any website.
Then I decided to go on as normal to 192.168.2.1...No go. I just received
the MSN page not found error. After about 3 reboots, and 2 resets of the
router using the physical reset button on the router, I had to come home. I
cannot figure out for the life of me why it is now not letting me go into
config. I can browse as normal, but cannot get into the config page.
Anyone have a solution?

Cheers,

Neil

Hi
Go to your ethernet card settings, double clip on TCP/IP/Ethernet and change
the setting to "Obtain an IP address automatically/Using DHCP. You should
then be able to communicate with your router through your browser like you
did before the crash.
