Lowe Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I just got a "D-Link DSL - 300t" this morning, took two mins to set up in win xp, thought it would be the same in mandrake, so in the manual it says go to 192.168.1.1 loads in xp fine, tried to load it in mandrake and all i get is "connection refused" whats all that about?

axel_2078 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 That's odd. My server is running Win2K and my desktop is Mandrake 10.0. My router is a Netgear. If I use the web interface (192.168.0.1) to get to it, I can and everything is just fine. However, if I try to do it from Mandrake, I can get inside the router, but some of the menus and options are missing. Maybe it's the way the browsers process the page?? Also, are you trying to open the page while another computer has it open? I've found that if I'm logged into my router with one PC, I can't log into it from the other one until I log off of the first one. My Linksys router wasn't like that, but then again, that router was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Nope no other computer has it open. It's really annoying me though. Damn thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Figured it out, had to set it to "detect IP address automatically". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axel_2078 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Wouldn't detect IP address automatically deal with DHCP received from your ISP? I don't understand how that would affect your ability to login to your router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed the N00B Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 If it's anything like my router, it's working as a DHCP server for your own LAN. Maybe what you did was to set Linux to 'detect IP address automatically' from the router (DHCP server) so that the PC then had an IP address which the router recognised and so was allowed access?
