Thread: I messed up IPs

Hi.

Same old problem....

- Changed Router WEP, IP, SSID etc (Wanted to be VERY Secure !)...
- Then on cannot access Net as well as Router Login Page.
- Did Ipconfig/Release and Renew....
- Tried Auto TCP/IP..
Nothing works !!!

Can Ping router now (On default IP) but cannot ping yahoo and likes

J4K - There's no Reset (RST) switch on router (zxdsl 531B)

Any Help please..

It is not possible that there is no RESET button on the modem. Look carefully on the back panel. There will be a small button inside a small hole. You will need a matchstick or toothpick to reset the modem.

Power up the modem, keep the reset button pressed for 15~20 seconds. After a few seconds all modem LEDs will flash quickly and then release the reset button.

Seriously J4K...There's no button !!! I admired the Router physically for 20 minutes !!
Even in the manual it says there's RST pinhole... but its not !!

Make and model please...

Additionally...see the MAHIMAA of BSNL..
I am attaching the page frm manual of my router, check.
They mention there's a RST switch but diagram is unaware of it ..

Hi Admin - Make ZTE, Model ZXDSL 531 B..

ne1 wants a manual ?

Please change TCP/IP properties to automatic. Connect laptop to modem directly by ethernet cable. From command prompt window, type 'ipconfig /release', then type 'ipconfig /renew'. Afterwards type 'ipconfig /all'. Post the results here.

p/s. My home internet is down at the moment and I cannot view picture from office. So post the results in text.

k...will do that as this is a new 'Big Bang' experiment, but will take some time as mee too in the office.
Let u know ..

if password is changed from admin to something else & you forgot it then it is very difficult to access modem page without resetting.i have tried searching but it seems like this new modem by BSNL either has no reset switch or no one has founded it yet.look carefully because sometimes it's tricky to find reset switch & i seriously doubt if any modem manufacturer made modems without reset switch.look inside ventilation holes.remove foam/rubber covering if any at bottom of modem usually done to provide some kind of support stand.remove sticker too if needed.

As far as i know i had not changed the router login id or pw.
But then i dont even get the login prompt ! (IE shows Page Cannot be displayed)

Secondly, HTC and BSNL together may forget to provide the RST switch ....
There's a Warranty sticker which needs to be removed to remove curiosity.... am thinking of doin it tonight..

J4K, Admin, white S...also loading the jpeg of router's rear !!

How(rather why) did you mess it up, in the first place?.

He read one of my Wireless Primers and changed the IP from the default to something else.

If you are still able to access the modem settings page then there is an option to restore factory settings.. try that.

It looks like there is no reset button on your modem... dont know what these chineese are upto... its probbably a conspiracy by the chineese to waste our time and make us all less productive and slow down our economy in the process...

run ipconfig /all in command prompt & post results here.if possible post a pic of bottom portion of modem.

Hey Guys !!

I found the reset switch..... Rather our forum will be the first on www to post as even ZTE and BSNL guys could not trace....

Its really too difficult... of the hundreds of square holes there's only ond circular.

Attaching the snap n starting the voyage of configuring the router..:rockon:

Hi LovelyMe, I can understand your pain.I too had to deal with the similar issue last month.It took me the whole day to find this reset button/hole.i wish I could help you at the first place, but I was offline for the last days.But finally you have done this by yourself.Kudos to you..
