Make sure you have the latest firmware installed. (the latest doesn't have
the capcha enabled) Once you do that you should be able to edit the fields.
Make sure you have the mask correct for your setup and tab out of the boxes
when you fill them in don't use the arrows. Let me know if that helps.
Thanks

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Need a Net Nut to Nib a Nasty
Up until yesterday shortly after lunch, my home network was managed
(routed, firewalled) by a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I never
enabled the wireless portion of the device because I don't need it in
my little crackerbox palace of an apartment, plus there's far too much
metal in the wall studs and other support structures, including the
door and window onto the terrace, so I just disabled it to keep things
utterly shut tight and secure. Why'd I buy a wireless router in the
first place? Suffice it to say, I didn't know the place was that
metallic when we first moved into it. Be that as it may, about eight
or so years and three firmware revisions later, the thing finally gave
up the ghost, as they say, and is now sitting in a truck on the way to
a landfill somewhere--I no longer have the device. This is key to
understanding my problem and why it cannot be suggested to reconnect
the device in order to solve it. Yiskar has been saide. I have
buried my dead.
OK, the 54G was replaced with a nice new (vintage 2008) DLink DIR655n
router, all ports operating at a gigabit, as opposed to 100mb for the
Linksys box.
The Linksys router's home address was 192.168.1.1, while the DLink's
is 192.168.0.1. Two devices on my network have static IP addresses--a
printer and a NAS box. Everything else is DHCP and has reserved an
address on the new 192.192.0.1 network. This means now that I cannot
communicate at all with either the printer or the NAS box until I
either change their address or change the rest of thenetwork devices'
addresses back to the old address base (192.168.1.*) I thought I
would simply change the address of the router itself from 192.168.0.1
to ..1.1. Every time I try to do this, the router does its thing,
reboots, and returns with the ..0.1 address. Anyone with experience
with the DIR655 router who knows how to get past this, greatly
appreaciated to hear from you asap, publicly or privately.
TIA
