I bought a LAN/WLAN router (D-Link DIR-655) to replace my old, dying router. My Bubba is configured for "Router / Firewall / Server" mode as described in the manual. I configured my new router to use the static IP address 192.168.10.2 and disabled the DHCP server in the router.
The router is working great. All wired and wireless devices can access the internet. It is all set up just like it was with the old router. Just like described in the Bubba manual.
My problem is this: As soon as I changed the router's configuration, disabling DHCP and assigning a static IP address, I was no longer able to access the router's admin webpage. It is not responding to pings at its new address.
I tried to confirm it's presence using traceroute, with no luck. On my PC:
Code: Select all
C:\>tracert bubba
Tracing route to bubba.localdomain [192.168.10.1]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms bubba.localdomain [192.168.10.1]
Trace complete.
I get a similar result when logged into Bubba and running traceroute to my PC.
Then I tried to find it by running nmap on my LAN. It did not appear in the results.
Can anyone suggest how to locate my router on the LAN? Of course I could perform a hard reset on the router, and start over. I have tried this and found that this scenario is repeatable! I've gone through the router setup twice, ending in the same result.
What is going on here?
