I'm trying to get on the same network as my router (WRT54GL V1.1 modified)so I can telnet to it. Thanks, & 73, Jim

Edit: Maybe it would be better to put the router on the same network as my PC, so how do I do that?

The main problem is that I need to give it a new password so I can logon and modify.

What you'll have to do is put the router in fail-safe mode which allows you to telnet into the router. You can find those instructions here: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/71-using-safe-mode-to-reset-a-forgotten-password.html. Instead of typing setpasswd abc, type cat /etc/httpd.conf to see your old password. You can then exit, reboot the node and type in the password you just recovered.

As to manually setting your own IP Address and Netmask, you'll need to right click on the start menu, go to Control Panel, click on Network and Internet, click on View Network Status and Tasks, Edit Adapter Settings (on the left), right click your network adapter and go to properties, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on properties. Fill in the information you need and "Ok" your way back out of everything.

I hope this helps you out!

Thanks KF5JIM, the problem is that the Win 10 unit is on the 10.0.0.1 network and the router is on the 192.168.1.1 network. I'm going to leave it be for now. I'm building a Linux machine and I will be able to get it set up then. 73, Jim

All is well. I've got my Linux workstation up and running and I remembered my router password and everything seems to be fine... except that I'm not seeing any other nodes. I thought that with the number of Ham's that we have in Jacksonville, that I would surely see someone. I guess my next step is to get or build an outdoor antenna. I've got some Elmer help here in town but he is really busy. Thanks for the help. 73, Jim W3FAW
