Did you change the router ip? also try 192.168.1.1 thats my standard one. If not try powering it off for 10 seconds then back on again.

Good luck.

Well if all fails your going to have to reset it. I dont recomend it as you will be back to as you braught it with no settings saved ect. But if it comes to it i guess u may have to.

do you use automatic ip or static ip on your computer? if automatic check if router gives you a ip adress by typing ipconfig \all in cmd window. if you have a ip adress your routers ip should be the gateway adress that stands there

sorry for my bad english

The IP address for a belkin router is 192.168.2.1 (as you said sky). Think you have the same router as me :P

Try unplugging the router from the mains supply for a few mins, then plug it back in and try access the page. If that doesnt work, and all the router likes are on (accept mayb the LAN one for your computer) then its a problem with the connection between the router and your PC (obviously :P ).

Also, try access the routers homepage on another computer on your network/router.

and finally if nothing works... you can always reset the router.. look for the little reset button... check manual for instructions on how to do the reset. (most of them are just push and hold a few seconds)

If your connecting via wireless, try connecting to it via a cable instead. This is something I would always advise anyway because cable's are less likely to **** up when your messing with settings.

You could also try from another computer as well.
