help -- amahi hardware died. Cannot connect to network

[snowguy]

Help! The hardware on my computer died. The main hard drive failed. It was an old computer so I'm guessing it wasn't any fault of the software but I'm left in a bit of a fix. I have a linksys wireless router and as part of installing the amahi hardware I had disabled whatever it is you are supposed to disable in order to get amahi running (dns and dhcp i think). I want to get the amahi server back up and running but in the meantime, how do I log into the router when I cannot connect to the network? Any suggestions?


My appologies if this has already been answered somewhere else. I tried but didn't find it through searching.

hi snowguy, two possibilities:

• log into the router with it IP address: e.g. http://192.168.1.1 ... or whatever the address of your router is (if you forgot, it should be listed in your amahi control panel after "Network Gateway")
• reset the router to factory settings (there is usually some place in the back to stick a pin and push it for 7 seconds)

If your amahi server is down, you will have to assign your PC a a static IP, on the same subnet as the router, in order to access the router to change the DHCP setting. Remember to set the PC back from using a static IP address to using DHCP after turning on the DHCP serer in the router.

Or you could just reset the router to factory settings as cpg suggested.
