Can't access Netgear router?

[The111]

The anandtech forum geeks have helped me out with PC issues in the past... can they do it again? ;-)

I have an old Netgear router, the "RT314". When I need to log into it for port forwarding, I go to http://192.168.0.1 with my browser. Right now one of the two PC's on my network will not do that. It comes up as an invalid webpage. Both PC's are using XP and IE7.0, and on the one that doesn't work I just get the generic IE "webpage cannot be found" error. It worked for a long time before now, and I've never seen this before... any ideas what has changed?

Thanks!

Can you use the network/internet on that pc?

I once messed with a Netgear (iirc) router that used to bond to a client using a cookie for like 5min..was annoying as hell..

Yup, I can use internet/network fine.

No luck. :-(

Bump?

I tried it in Firefox (which I thought for sure I had done before). And lo and behold, it WORKS in Firefox. So have we narrowed it down to IE somehow? I also tried it in IE6 (I have a hacked standalone version I use for web design) and it doesn't work there either... so it seems to be IE in general.

Any further ideas?

Possibly that "standalone" edition is messing with some system or shared files. Is this webdev machine the one that can't access the page?

Yes, but I have accessed the router with IE7, successfully, after installing the web dev versions. This is a new development, and I cannot think of any software change I made recently that would be responsible for it.

Also works on IE7 on my Vista partition...
