That was a typo. Honest.
Telnet will do it. Or HyperTerminal.
Hyperterminal. I doubt telnet will work over the serial port, particularly in its given state. Hopefully the factory reset Johnny pointed out will sort it out without the need.

So anyway stfcinB, as a matter of interest do you have the serial cable that connects from the serial port on the PC to the router?

Does your PC have a serial port?

Probably should have mentioned you need the right cables, was a real bitch connecting my Mac to Cisco routers. Not sure this helps but I've just noticed that IP address you're seeing is part of a special "link local" subnet (169.254.0.0/16), which basically means DHCP isn't running on the router so Windows is allocating an IP from the subnet.

Guess that's why the Default Gateway is showing as 0.0.0.0 Not sure this helps but I've just noticed that IP address you're seeing is part of a special "link local" subnet (169.254.0.0/16), which basically means DHCP isn't running on the router so Windows is allocating an IP from the subnet. Is there anything there that's going to help me get into the f**ker? Think we all knew it was going to be a pain in the arse

Had another go earlier trying a few more ip. No joy. It's nearly bin time, unless the ignorant bint that sold it me replies to my question Mind you I guess I could get her on a technicality, the heading and description both state
CISCO 800 SERIES 837 ROUTER & ALL CABLES & POWER PACK
Cisco 800 series 837 router with all leads etc good working order.
It can't be in good working order If I can't access it?
And clearly the serial lead is missing

The Cisco website says it comes with the console cable, so it's not a technicality - it should have come with it.
Plus if you can't get it working due to the config being changed, it's not in good working order.
If they don't reply file a complaint, might get them moving or worst case is you get your money back.
You can get the console cables on eBay (search for Cisco Console Cable), I just checked and you can get one for £2.50 inc p&p.

Make sure you've got the right port on your PC. Mac's don't which really fucked me over, took me a while finding an adapter and then the driver software to actually get it working (think I had to resort to a Windows virtual machine in the end).
