I have a Linksys router BEFSR41 version 4. I bought it last week and have been trying to set it up since yesterday. I have a dell dimension 4700 which has a windows xp home edition installed. And a dsl modem.
My problem: I can't access my router. I checked my cable by testing them between the computer and the dsl modem and they are ok. I checked the way I set things up over and over again. I reset the router to the factory settings by pressing the reset button for more than 10 seconds and did that many times too. I used internet explorer and mozilla firefox to reach the ip address (192.168.1.1) but it didn't work. I pinged 192.168.1.1 and it also didn't work. I even used my Knoppix Live Linux CD to check whether the problem is in the operating system, couldn't reach the ip 192.168.1.1
The interesting part is... on windows xp home edition... when i check local area connection status, i see my ip (which is 192.168.1.100) is assigned by DHCP and gateway address appears as 192.168.1.1
I am stuck at this point. Any help is appriciated. Thanx in advance.
