Cannot renew my IP address.

Charged · Aug 10, 2006, 02:13 AM

Hey I am new here and I was just wondering why I cannot renew my IP. I have tried for a month or so now and google search after google search, I am getting more frusterated. I havent seen or heard of a problem like mine. The problem I am having is my IP address will not renew, yet I have an Internet connection.

In other words, I can use Internet Explorer, BUT I cannot connect to online game servers or use my Firefox. Any idea what I should do? I have tried manually resetting the MAC address, I have tried to make the connection a manual connection, To which it said the connection was repaired but then my IE wouldnt even work, and I have tried deleting all cookies/checking for viruses. Any Idea what it could be?

BTW, I am running a Belkin wireless router. I am on a PC (not the laptop set up to the connection). Any idea what is wrong with my comp? Thanks in advance!

You really need to access it and resolve this issue soonest.

It would aslo help if you would post the IP info rather than removing it.
There's nothing to worry about as it will be a private IP in the 192.168.x.x range.
so it should look something like this:
IP 192.168.2.3
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gate 192.168.2.1
DHCP 192.168.2.1
DNS 192.168.2.1

How exactly do i access the router? If I have that then I think I can solve the problem myself.

IP is 192.168.2.8
Subnet is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway is 192.168.2.1
DCHP is same as the default gateway
DNS is 149.174.211.5 and 195.40.1.36

What's the router? We should be able to find the address & default login details from the manufacturers website. If you changed the user details and can't remember them then there is more than likely a reset button on the router you will need to hold down for 10 seconds or so to reset it.

Enter the IP of your router (= 192.168.2.1) in your browser. You should then be able to access your router.
