Hey

Im trying to ping my DD-WRT Asus WL-500W after activing the USB function and now it gives me a "PING: transmit failed, error code 1231". I tried a 30/30/30 but still nothing. How can I fix it?

Why would you access your router through USB? AFAIK you can use it only as a modem through USB, not router

I think you are confused. The USB ports are for connecting mass storage devices, printers, webcams, etc...

Not sure what you are talking about.

So if you turn the USB function off do the pings start to work again?

I can't access the router anymore (tried but as you know the pings fail) so I can't turn it off.

The previous comment counds correct. It sounds like activating USB has frozen the modem.

However, do you know if you where using a static IP or dynamic (DHCP) addressing? If you where using static, doing an ipconfig /all will not really show anything out of the ordinary.

If you release the IP and renew it, does it work?

As you activated the USB function, can you connect to the device using USB instead of network? If that works, can you get in the routers console and see if anything else changed since activating USB?

Other than that, try either simply powering the device off and on again after about 10 seconds and see if it comes back up, otherwise a hard reset physically from the device may be the only other method left to try.

Some routers allow it, however why you would want to i dont know, its just an extra driver and device for Windows to activate during startup, whereas connecting through CAT5 would mean just using the existing network card to connect to the router.

Can you (hard) reset it manually? What do you have plugged into the USB ports?

And what OS are your running out of interest?

Ive already reseted and hardreset it. I have nothing plugged into the USB ports.

On my PC or my router? Im running on the PC Windows Vista.

Sounds like your router is frozen and your computer has no IP address on the network it is connected to...

What is the output of: ipconfig /all

?

Im going to RMA but if I remember I believe it didnt show a gateway and it just showed the same IP and 255.0.0.0

The router has a DHCP server. I manually set a static IP thru Windows (since the router didnt assign a IP) and still nothing

Ive tried renewing but nothing happens. Same thing

The USB function is to attach a printer, mass storage device, webcam, etc to share with the network.

Ive already turned it off/reset/etc. Explain a "hard reset physically" as maybe I havent done that.

That is where you take a pen and push and hold the little reset button on the back of the router in for about 10 seconds or usually until the power light flashes. This rests the router back to the default settings, as opposed to unplugging it and plugging it back in which just restarts the router (soft reset) just as you would restart your pc.

The hard reset usually means finding a pin or something and placing it in a hole round the back of your router with Reset underneath. Once you've done that it'll probably reset everything to factory defaults and you may be good to go

Edit: Beat me to it :)

    • SeaMonkey 2.53.21 by Razvan Serea The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet application suite. Such a software suite was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client with an included web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users.

SeaMonkey 2.53.21 contains (among other changes) the following major changes relative to SeaMonkey 2.49.5: The Bookmarks Manager has switched its name to Library, and now also includes the History list. When History is invoked, the Library will be shown with the History list selected. The extensive modifications were needed because of Mozilla Gecko platform API changes. Download Manager has been migrated to a new API. Although it looks pretty much the same as before, the search option is missing and some other minor details work differently. The previous downloads history is removed during the upgrade. The layout panel was added to the CSS Grid tools. TLS 1.3 is the default SSL version now. Support for all NPAPI plugins like Flash, Java and Silverlight has been removed. For displaying pdf files in the browser you can use pdf.js-seamonkey from Isaac Schemm. SeaMonkey now uses a new api for formatting regional data like time and date. Default is to use the application locale of the current SeaMonkey build. If you use a language pack or a different OS formatting this is usually not desired. You can change the formatting from the application locale to the regional settings locale (OS) in the preferences dialog under "Appearance". SeaMonkey 2.53.21 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the relevant Firefox 60.8 security fixes.

    • It doesn't work for the view, but the music gets me every time:  
    • I remember when it first came about and the rubbish that was on it, and I did have a look now and again to see if it improved, and it really did not. I have never downloaded anything from it. Even on my Mac I tend to avoid the store, i prefer to download from source.
    • Are there any others that are as good?
    • Recent reviews very negative. I'll skip this one.
