FVS318: Unable to log in after reset defaults

Hi,

 

I have an FVS318 which I need to bridge two subnets, last used as a internet router. Can't remember if the f/ware is stcock, or has been upgraded at some stage. Have a laptop connected to one of the 8 lan ports. Had forgotten the password, so reset to default settings. Can ping into 192.168.0.1, but if I point a browser at it, all I get is:

 

Server Not Found: www.routerlogin.net

 

I've set several of these boxes up in the past without getting this message, just expect to see a login dialogue, so what's happening ? As I said, can ping into the box, so it is connected, but seems to be ignoring htttp requests...

 

Regards & Thanks,

Chris

    It seems that the firewall isn't responding to http request. Please try to reset it to factory default and also try to use another PC to isolate the issue.

      Hi,

       

      A bit late getting back to this, apologies. Fixed it by replacing the network cable, fault in one pair. Nothing wrong with the router :-)...
