Cannot access router

[quaxo]

I should have mentioned this before and I don't know why I didn't...

There is one difference between the connections of my iPAQ, her laptop, and my PC.

The iPAQ and laptop are wirelessly connected to the router, the PC is wired.

I've already tried changing ports, still didn't help.

Just in case:

I was aware of that. It's printed on the label on the bottom of the router 

I just need to find out the user name and password from my ISP for my internet account before I reset. I can't do that until morning... another 9 hours or so.

Keep us updated.

Bah! Still no luck with this. Something just isn't right and I can't figure out what it is. This is so frustrating!

I've tried a reset of the router, no luck there.

I haven't accessed the router in a while or changed anything, as there was no need to. It's been perhaps 1-2 months. It has worked fine so I've had no reason to do anything to it.

Ok, let's look at this again...

Installed since last access to router:
Mozilla Firefox
Pidgin Messenger (http://www.pidgin.im)
Philips SPC 200NC PC Camera

And I can't remember if Microsoft Office 2007 was installed before or after I discovered the problem. I think that came after so it probably has nothing to do with it.

It's only this computer. It connects to the router just fine and can access the internet like normal. what the heck am I missing?

How about contacting Netgear?

How about contacting Netgear?

I did that three days ago. Haven't got a response from them yet. Still waiting.

Weekend, maybe?

Got it!

About a month ago, my ISP had me set a proxy due to connection problems that have since been corrected. The proxy was set on this computer alone and is what was interfering with this computer's ability to access the router's settings. The proxy setting was grabbed by Firefox from IE during installation which is what caused Firefox to react the same way. It has been removed now and access to the router restored.

Thanks for the help!

WOW! That simple, huh? Nice job...
