Yeah, I saw ET's answer and considered a head-smack ;-) On the other hand, in THIS case, since Mike hard reset the device, the chances of its being something other than /24 (or some other 'reasonable' netmask) is extremely close to nonexistent ;-) But, in general, if you want to know what your computer thinks, ET's way is right. (Of course, if we wanted to get pedantic, I just (a nanosecond before I hit 'send') realized that there IS a case where it might not be right - consider the case of more than one (active) Ethernet device, and the eth which has your linksys on it isn't the one that is the default route... ok, that's WAY more than enough on THIS subject!!! :-)) -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org] On Behalf Of kitepilot@kitepilot.com Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 12:26 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: internet problem Carruth, Rusty writes: > So, do ‘ifconfig’ on the PC to see what address it got (192.168.0.123 or 192.168.1.2 or whatever), and change the last octet to 1 and you should have your linksys IP address. Hopefully ;-) Which, BTW, this statement is mostly true for a /24 address, but no always. If you have a lower than /24 network, the possibilities also grow significantly. The 'ip route show|grep default' method is bullet proof. Truth to be told though, the chances the chances that Rusty method doesn't work in this case range from minimal to nonexistent... :) ET > From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org > [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org] On Behalf Of Michael > Havens > Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 11:41 AM > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Subject: Re: internet problem > > > > well it isn't really two routes. 1 is a modem router. > > > > > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > > On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Gilbert T.

SO I figured that maybe I needed to reconfigure it so I pressed the reset button for 30 seconds and connected the internet port to the computer and restarted the computer but I couldn't get into the configuration page (192.168.1.1). I seem to remember that it was 192.168.101.1 but that didn't work either.
