Siemens 2624 Wireless Router problem

[axelfox]

I just got this thing all setup, and my brother was messing with the subnet mask so he could VPN his computer at school, and now it doesn't work. The LEDs flash back and forth (left to right) "Knight Rider" style, as he calls it. I can't even get into the setup screen via http.

On another note, when it WAS working, I couldn't even upgrade the firmware. The update process would tell me that the file was the wrong one (which it wasn't), and it aborted the process.

Any ideas?

Did he change the IP and Subnet of the router, or of your PC that you're ocnnecting to the router with? And if he remembers what he set the IP and Subnet addresses to, have you tried setting your PC to an IP in that range and on that subnet before hitting the Admin web page? -TAL

I don't think he tried to change the IP of the router, just the subnet mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0. From there, something popped up (he didn't read it, but he should have), and then he couldn't access the admin page and then the lights came on.
