techbeck Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I can connect just fine to the admin page via wifi from another computer. My main hard wired computer doesn't have a wifi card so I can't simulate that same test. Plus, the router is just a few inches away and I think it would be more efficient to use an ethernet cable. Do you have a static IP/DNS settings assigned? Or is the PC set to use DHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 ok,does this happen with more than one browser? are you using any kind of proxy or tunnel? double check you dont have something like this enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted August 29, 2013 MVC Share Posted August 29, 2013 If you can access it from another computer - then points to something wrong with the port or cable or nic or OS of that computer that does not work, not the router. Can you use the cable and port that the other computer works with. If so then points to issue with computer, either network card, OS or browser issue. I would suggest fire up a linux Live CD on the computer your having issues with - does it work? Obi-Wan Kenobi 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I am currently using Windows 8 x64. I have Agnitum Outpost Pro 8 and Kasparsky AV 13 installed. I suspect its one or combination of those security programs that is causing the problem but I don't know what to look for. Please advise. Can always choose selective startup and disable the security programs from loading. Then if it works, re-enable one by one until the problem app is found.

I would suggest fire up a linux Live CD on the computer your having issues with - does it work? I agree with this. I have a linksys wrt54GS v.5, and it does not flake out in any way, shape or form. It's an antique, yes, I admit, but it still works (default factory firmware). Try the 30/30/30 rule. See if that helps. http://compnetworking.about.com/b/2009/03/11/the-30-30-30-hard-reset-rule-for-routers.htm (Sorry for the generic link...I'm currently going mobile.) I'll be willing to bet, though, that BudMan is the most qualified to help you with this situation...and if not, you may have a bad router. Model numbers help, BTW...like I posted: Linksys WRT54GS v.5. If you just say you have a Linksys, then it could be ANY Linksys. Specifics are warranted.

+BudMan MVC Posted August 29, 2013 MVC Share Posted August 29, 2013 "you may have a bad router." How is that?? "I can connect just fine to the admin page via wifi from another computer." If a page loads fine via another computer - how is it a router issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subferno Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Do you have a static IP/DNS settings assigned? Or is the PC set to use DHCP? DHCP Ok, tried updating/reinstalling the network drivers on your computer? Reinstalling the drivers didn't help ok,does this happen with more than one browser? are you using any kind of proxy or tunnel? double check you dont have something like this enabled. Happens in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. No proxy or tunnel I agree with this. I have a linksys wrt54GS v.5, and it does not flake out in any way, shape or form.

Model numbers help, BTW...like I posted: Linksys WRT54GS v.5. If you just say you have a Linksys, then it could be ANY Linksys. Specifics are warranted. I have the LinkSys WRT54GS v6. The reason why I didn't supply the model numbers was because this issue occurred with my old router and my new bought Motorola router. I interpret that as not being model related but some general setting on my computer. I will try the selective startup since it requires the least effort and then the Linux OS. I will report back.

+BudMan MVC Posted August 30, 2013 MVC Share Posted August 30, 2013 Least effort? Did you try just moving it to a different port on the router, did you have another wire to test? As to effort, yeah booting a CD is so hard ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
