Router problems

[Digital Bliss]

I have just recived a Belkin 2000 router and it works but there is a password in the gateway. After looking around for sometime I can't figgure out how to reset it if someone has an idea on resetting it please let me know.

[Krell]

try admin \ admin

IF this doesnt work try admin \ *blank - no pwd*

If that doesnt work, I would like for you to unpower this router, and depress the reset button thru the tiny hole with a pen. While holding in, power up, and keep depressed at least 10 seconds, and look for an unusually flashing of the lights, then let go.

When you are successful, you should try admin \ *blank*

You could try searching for the default password for your router and then try that out. If that dosent work, find the reset button as Krell already said.

Im retarded..... it said leave blank looks like I need to learn how to read.... Ok next question I am tryin to play online games such as bf2 and cs source and the words dmz and port fowarding keep comming up wtf do i do? This is why i failed cisco lol.

Learn to port forward with the Belkin setup, and learn how to set up a DMZ . . . thats what you need to do, its a fairly straightforward thing to know, that you need to do those 2 things. What do you want, for me to do it remotely for you?

RTFM


:D maybe you should try crisco instead of cisco?

Haha.... I am doing research and I am getting nowhere apparently this dmz shit is supose to be easy. Well krell if you really wanted to you could lol.... It didnt come with one and the one provieded on their site is a joke >_<

[moneoa]

it has one....every router has one and if you type your router model and number with default password in google it will tell you the same. If it is not in your manual or you cannot look it up then return it and get a linksys...easiest routers to set-up.

That one comes passworded too....they all do

[Digital Bliss]

It was free so i cant take it back lol

[moneoa]

the only way then is to hold reset for about a minute and set back to default.
If this will not work...I can't think of anything else to say.

You call your internet provider who supplied it and they can find your password. I have 2wire and sbcglobal. I click on forgotten password and it gives me a long number to give to the people over the phone. Then they set it upwith a temp password that will change in 15 minutes. So i would have to change my password by then.

[Digital Bliss]

Ok i got the password taken care of now the question is dmz/port fowarding I have been looking around and I can not play online games like cs source or bf2. How would I go about dmz because on this router I see nothing that mentions port fowarding.

[Krell]

you just click on everything until you see a place to put a name and port #

idk the port numbers for the games damn it all >_<

[zarquon]

Do not use dmz as this allows full access to your comp. Look for nat, port settings on your router, you will need to open a public port and a set a corresponding internal trigger port.

Belkin 2000 doesnt seem to exist, what is the correct model number of your router, you could try here.

Just throw that POS in the trash and search craigslist for a used LINKSYS

Problem solved, game over!

You click on the game exe file or from a list of programs and allow access. You can change port numbers, but in the game setup, you may need to put the same port number in as you did for your router.
