Shame I've only just read the thread, I've got one of those Netgears Bo referred to which you could've had for nothing.

Thanks for the kind offer Samdy, but Netgears' don't perform too well on my line, lot's of disconnections

However if anyone want's to breath new life into a DG then this custom firmware could be for you

Been out at customers today. I've been carded, think it's arrived. Will collect tomorrow

First problem encountered already. Can't access it. Thought I'd set it up on my other pc, just connect it with ethernet and power up with no adsl connection

Have tried 10.10.10.1 didn't work

Then tried finding the ip via cmd

Default Gateway comes up as 0.0.0.0 tried that as well along with 169.254.0.0

Any ideas?

[Samdy Gray]

Tried 192.168.1.1 ?

[Batch]

169.254.0.1 or 169.254.0.254

Actually I'm betting with a 169.254.x.x net address and no default gateway that DHCP has failed?

[stfcinbmth]

Don't think it will be Samdy as the Ip issued to the pc is 169.254.242.210 with a subnet possibly of 255.255.0.0
192.168.1.1 would give it a subnet of 255.255.255.0

But hey ho will give it a try tomorrow as the San Miguel is going down fine and I'm losing the ability to concentrate

I *think* you need to connect your PC to a specific port to access the config.

Try each of the ethernet ports with 10.10.10.1, though it should be port 2 (from the right).

Did you get a Cisco SDM cd with it? If so, use that instead of the web browser interface (user/pw = cisco/cisco).

Failing that, it might still have the previous config in it which could be fucking things up. So you could connect to the console port and do a factory reset (I can dig out the commands if you need them).

[jonny72]

Don't think it will be Samdy as the Ip issued to the pc is 169.254.242.210 with a subnet possibly of 255.255.0.0
192.168.1.1 would give it a subnet of 255.255.255.0

It says what the subnet mask is (/24), so the 1st usable IP would be 169.254.0.1 and the last 169.254.255.254 (allowing for the network and broadcast addresses).

A 192.168.x.x IP doesn't necessarily mean a subnet mask of /24, could be anything /16 or higher. Could possibly be lower, which whilst not good practice for a private network, will work. Of course if you're using classful addressing then it would be fixed at /16, but who does that nowadays?

[stfcinbmth]

Thanks Jonny

Will have another peek tomorrow. Not tried port 2, only 1 and 4

Done port 2 now

No Cisco cd. Think I might need those commands, but only when you have time of course

[stfcinbmth]

Have asked the seller about the default login. Wether they will be forthcoming is a different matter

No, it would be 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.0.254 with a Class C (/24) subnet mask, but it does say /16 in his post so we'll let you off.


I assume this is second hand?

'870 password recovery via serial:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/800/850/software/configuration/guide/trouble.html#wp1038210

you might be able to reset to factory default from here?

[stfcinbmth]

It is second hand Batch. I've got a sneaky suspicion I've bitten off more than I can chew with this one. That link is gobbeldy gook to me

[Batch]

meh, its just connect a cable and type the commands!

[stfcinbmth]

Batch, I'll be honest and say I'm lost at step 1

Step 1 Connect an ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the CONSOLE port on the rear panel of the router.

I've got the CONSOLE bit soapy tit wank and I'm thinking terminal might mean Telnet

[jonny72]

No, it would be 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.0.254 with a Class C (/24) subnet mask, but it does say /16 in his post so we'll let you off.

That was a typo. Honest.

Telnet will do it. Or HyperTerminal.
