It'll be http://192.168.1.254/

You'll also need the username/password of your router, which will probably be on the bottom of it.

i can see a 6520 at Portforward.com

did you make a typo? anyway try out the site and what they have for the other siemen models might work

What is the gateway in your ipconfig

No worries, what did you have? Was it nice?

Cool did you cook it or buy it ?

tried that
still nothing.

Cool did you cook it or buy it ?

cooked it :)

tracert something on the world wide web and hit up the first result

what?

http://192.168.254.254/

Sorry, getting confused because you said your ip is also your gateway.

Do an ipconfig in the command prompt window and paste the results.

so you're trying to access the modem? i thought you were already there and needed to port forward.
confused!

So no devices between your pc and the Modem? If http://192.168.254.254/ doesn't work then maybe it has been configured on the non default port. Or if you are lucky maybe the web serving is flaking out and the modem needs to be turned off and on like my Billion does every so often.

I cant access the modem.

Then you cant port forward.

You need to get to your router/modem which is your gateway IP. Try https://192.168.254.254

heres the thing
i put any of those ips into mozilla/ie/chrome
and it wont connect.

Try

http://192.168.254.254:8080
http://192.168.254.254:81
https://192.168.254.254

both nothing....

very weird......who's your ISP? maybe they've changed something

ok try this first http://speedstream

if no good open cmd and type ipconfig and hit enter, report back results

speedstream does nothing.

im with telstra

*sigh*

Plug a cable directly into the modem
Type http://192.168.254.254 into your browser

note: NOT https
Login, configure and continue to be a console tard

i used my other pc that has a Ethernet cable plugged into the modem, still nothing,

Can you ping 192.168.254.254?

very odd problem indeed.

what is your exact set up? EG. is it wall phone line to this router, ethernet from this router to PC?

or is something else in between?

if there is anything else in between remove and do the direct set up to your main pc

Control Panel > Internet Properties > Connections Tab > LAN Settings

Any funky proxy stuff there? Got Automatically Detect Settings ticked?

has this been tried yet? 192.168.1.254

if that fails then 1 option left before I'd buy a new router, go the hard reset. find the button, get your paper clip or pen out, and press that sucker home.

if no access after that, hit up msy or someone and grab something else.

I see something that maybe the problem . The dns suffix has 2wire in it. You don't have a 2wire modem. Check your network properties and remove that if its enterered manually. Probably not the issue as that is on your lan interface which isn't in use. http://192.168.254.254 is your modem/router according to your dhcp info. If the modem was from telstra it would come with telstra firmware with a login of 10.0.0.138. Has it had a generic firmware upgrade? That is what changes it to the 192.168.254.254 address usually.

i ahve tried that.
will try tomorrow

Firewall programs have nothing to do with it rusta, leave it to the grown ups

Can I have a recipe for your meal please, then I will tell you how to fix it

Yeah he can't get into the router

Or just buy a $55 billion and be done with it

Yeah but I'd get the N

Billion 7700N Draft 802.11n Wireless ADSL2+ Firewall Router

^ The N part. One is G the other is N.

Well, all it really needs to do is give me internet, does the 5200G do that, and does it do it efficiently?

A single reply here is worth more value than 50 replies on u-mart?

yeh i have many routers where the GUI would crash, some times turn off the router wait 30sec will fix it... other times a full rest was the only way

I'm currently on the phone with my brother helping him try to get the port forwarding working.

No matter what we puit in Port Forwarding (Netgear WGR614V5) it keeps saying NAT Type: Strict.

Everyone on the internet is having this problem.

I've never done this on a netgear but it's worth a try anyway, download a copy of the config (backup / export as cfg/txt file or whatevs)

then open that text file in notepad.exe, look for the Nat Type setting - it should be obvious, then change it to something else (try to decipher it from the drop down menu on the admin page) and then upload your config using the "import" functionality

worth a shot
