brian873 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have never seen a router being attack as in settings being changed and bios flashed. My router you haave to be hardwired in to the private network to change setting. You canot use the admin interface from the public side or or the wireless connection. As for the DHCP check all your setting and test wqith another pc if possible. Try to renew the settings from the command box usingipconfig /renew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I would power off the router and reboot it, it may have just locked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 there might also be a reset button on it. many times you can set it back to factory defaults by holding in that button for 30s to a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
