Help with IP address login

1) Yes. A reset will reset all the options on your router back to factory defaults (including logon id/password as well as your all your wireless settings - including SSID and password)

2) But did you buy the Huawei Echolife HG520s yourself? I tried to take a quick look at it and i suspect it may be supported by your ISP. If so, you're best to contact your ISP about the reset as they may want you to also set special options specific to your ISP internet connection service

my neighbour suggested it to me, so we went with it, i heard that some1 had this problem to, and he started saying something about having all proxy settings off or somin, got any ideas?

You really need to "bite the bullet", reset your router and attempt to login with defaults. As mentioned before, you'll then need to reset all the options (e.g. including your wireless settings/encryption/etc)

If you have a simple cable connection you should be OK but other connection types (like PPPoE) may also require assistance from your ISP to reset the correct values.

If you need it, you can download the router's user manual if you register with Huawei here.
> You might also join their own forums here to talk to others using your same router

G'luck!

you still can;t login after resetting both the router and internet explorer??? (and you don't have CAP LOCK set do you?) cause all i can otherwise suggest is it's time to get a new router :dead: Sorry

omg, i am seriously just fcked off with talk talk, i cant even just play my game or just even do a normal game online on it since i lag, i, i am just going to forget about everything, an smash my rotour to bits and show it to talk talk

Wait a minute.... TalkTalk is your ISP??? Then you should call them for support as i can now see this is a combination ADSL modem and router they support.

You can get the user manual directly from them here as well as find router info on their web site (e.g. see here). If you still can't login to it you should call them for information needed about the reset

hmmmm ok....... let me check with my neighbour if he can do something

my my; I stand corrected

However, having run Print/File sharing w/o IPv6 and not only disdain p2p but would never recommend it, Personally I would still disable it. There are other Media Players and if MS wants to do migrate client services to IPv6 of course they can do as they please.

A bigger issue for the home user is the router's support for it with Window Scaling features, SPI, SACKOPTS ... just too many things for a protocol that not widely in use.

(consider: Win/3.1, Win/98, and XP all had IPv4 and we got along well enough and the routers we used didn't even list IPv6 compatibility;
how many do now?)

Peace and good will to all

@jobeard
All said and true. In fact, I prefer keeping ipv6 off myself. But I think you perhaps missed my point(s) in my earlier posts. I was specifically addressing your statement

for one, you can disable the IPv6; it's not useful for our home systems

At minimum the statement needs a caveat / "heads up" for Win 7 users. Please note:
1) Win 7 users who turn off ipv6 need be warned they may find some of their Windows apps no longer working and
2) !! HomeGroups (which are new to Win 7) will simply not work with ipv6 off !! (The Homegroup replaces the old tried and true "Workgroup")

In fact I'd take it one step further, a Win 7 user can't even create a Homegroup if ipv6 is turned off. See the result below
