OpenDNS

[stfcinbmth]

No serial port on my XP machine, but have one on Win 7 machine. I'm thinking I will have to use putty, That I believe will act as a terminal

Anyhow you now have a few days of peace so chill and enjoy

Thanks for all your assistance on this

Just as a bit of fun I have enabled the parental controls in the 2700hgv and blocked all his internet access. This has cost me 1.5 meg of sync rebooting this time of night and TBH I'm not even sure that the controls work when using the OpenDNS servers. Still I'll sit tight and see what happens. Call me tight but we don't charge extra for the internet

Got my cable today, been having a tinker, think I've managed to factory reset it. Still cant access CRWS

I've had a few to drink and am about to go out but try the following....

Start from the factory reset, so if you've entered any commands do a power reset first and if you've saved the config after entering commands then do another factory reset first. The bits on the left (including the > or #) are the command prompts you should get, the stuff in brackets is comments (don't type them in).

Router>enable    (enter privileged mode)
Router#configure terminal    (enter global config mode)
Router(config)#interface Ethernet0    (configure Ethernet0, the only real port which is attached to a 4 port switch)
Router(config-if)#no shutdown    (open the interface)
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0    (assign an IP and subnet to the port)
Router(config-if)#exit    (exit global config mode)
Router(config)#end    (exit privileged mode)
Router#copy running-config startup-config    (save the config to nvram, so it will start with it in future)

Configure your PC manually (no DHCP) with an IP of 10.10.10.2, subnet 255.255.255.0, default gateway 10.10.10.1 then connect your PC to port 1. Then keep your fingers crossed and open a browser and go to 10.10.10.1, hopefully you'll be in CRWS.

If it doesn't work let me know and I should be able to help some more tomorrow.

Thought the subnet for 10.10.10.1 should be 255.0.0.0?

Normally but presumably not for CRWS. As long as you assign the addresses Johnny posted you'll be OK.

New running config. PuTTY seems to work quite well as a Terminal on Win 7. I'm surprised

Still can't get into CRWS. Ah well that's enough for one day. Cheers guys. Beer time!

Normally but presumably not for CRWS. As long as you assign the addresses Johnny posted you'll be OK.

Subnet masks for the 10.x.x.x range will always begin with 255 but the rest is variable.

10.10.10.1/24 is the first "usable" address in the 10.10.10.0 network (to figure this out do an AND on the ip and subnet mask). I say "usable" as 10.10.10.0 is actually the first address and is usable if subnet zero is enabled (and it is on your 837 router according to the config you posted).

Look up subnetting if you're bored for an explanation.

That shouldn't say "shutdown", it means the port is closed.

What happened when you entered the "no shutdown" command?

That could be a task for the morning jonny. I'm happy at the mo that things are further forward than last week. Strange that I still can't access it tho, however tomorrow is another day. Let's enjoy the night first ;0)

Where did we enter the "no shutdown" command?

I reckon some clown missed that one

[stfcinbmth]

Now you've got me going again, I'm going to have to have another crack
