Linksys BEFSR81 Problem

[mobbdeep1122]

I upgraded my firmware this morning, all was well, then I made the mistake of doing a hard reset on my router. Since I've done that, it hasn't worked. I'm now directly connected to my modem so I can try to find help.

The problem is, something is preventing me from receiving packets. I thought it was my firewall, so I uninstalled ZoneAlarm--nothing. I have it set to obtain an IP address automatically. I've tried releasing/renewing my IP.

I really don't want to buy another router so hopefully someone can help me.

Thanks.

Za may have needed reconfiged for the new router firmware
did your wan ip address change
did your lan ip address change

one big thing is did you really uninstall ZA
thats one tuff program to get off yer machine
check under services to see if any Za stuuf is left
Za is a leech it wil grab your system and not let go

control test with another machine and your router
if you can get to router check status should say the wan address and dns servers ip address's
delete all reg keys for any ZA stuff
there will be a lot of them
you may need to reinstall ZA and try to force a firewall rules setting
all else replace upgrade with dwngrd
I had a issue with outpost and my linksys
worked fine till I did upgrade (I needed my router to match a system wide router firmware setting)it was a reg key in outpost that needed changed
this could not be done from GUI
maybe that is what happened with you
with any firmware upgrade you need to do a reset anyway
then reconfig for your network

Thats another problem I'm having. I can't connect to 192.168.1.1--it just keeps timing out.

You will need to access your router’s configuration page which is brand-name dependent:

Netgear 192.168.0.1
D-Link 192.168.0.1
Linksys 192.168.1.1
Belkin 192.168.2.1

I wish I could, but I can't. Like I said, it keeps timing out...

that sounds like a problem with ZA still on the machine
can you bypass router for now as a test base
ZA has a forum and there you will find tools for complete ((cough)) removal
I ended up doing a re-install nothing like the fresh smell of new OS coming from the hard drive.
I know ZA has a tool and a guide list on hoew to remove all
go to run
cmd c:\ root type ping space and 192.168.?.? the question marks are your router numbers they vary

C:\ping 192.168.1.1
