Odd one this.......
 

Over at a friends and posting from their machine connected directly to the SACM and the internet works fine however.

A few days ago they bought a wireless router ZyXEL one and set it up working fine and dandy. Tonight they could get no web pages at all had a look in the router config's and the WAN port was issued with 192.168.100.10 instead of a public IP ??

Spoofing the MAC/rebooting modem and router etc has made no difference. Whenever the router is connected it gets the above address, the ready light flashes like mad and in the SACM Operation log it shows as Network access = denied ?

In the Middlesbrough area if that makes any difference ??

Thanks in advance

Only thing I can think of is to reset the router to factory defaults & try again.????

Re: Odd one this.......
 

sorry, forgot to mention, tried that one as well !!!

ZyCEL routers are one of the worst products I have ever seen in my IT support career. Tell them to take it back to where they got it from and get it swapped for a Linksys, Netgear D-Link or even a Belkin.

thats the lines im thinking of, just interested as to what the hecks going on.

And after a third hard reset it starts working again, what a heap of junk this is !!!!

Re: Odd one this.......
 

hmm, didn't you just recommend one of these in another thread :eek:

Re: Odd one this.......
 

i said they were available, and up until tonight it had been reasonable !! I take it all back

Re: Odd one this.......
 

I wouldn't get a Linksys or a Belkin having seen problems with them as well. I've seen this same problem occur with Linksys routers. The solution for them was to reboot the modem as well as the router, however this would only last for a week or so before having to do the same procedure again.

I'd recommend Netgear.
