    Linksys Router Trouble

    I have this Linksys router that will not give my computer an ip address when I connect to it. I'ts a Linksys BEFSR41 ver. 2 and when I connect my computer to it XP gives me that wonderful limited connection status. I've tried to log into the router using the default Linksys ip (192.168.1.1) but it doesn't work. When I open up my command prompt and enter "ipconfig/all" it shows that I don't have a default gateway. I've tried several times to reset the router using the reset button on the front but I still have the same problems.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated,
    Thanks,

    I think it should be 192.168.2.1

    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:

    [see second post]
    BEFSR41 install issues- can't access 192.168.1.1 - Cisco Home Community

    I followed these instructions to the letter but the command prompt came back with the response: "Destination host unreachable." It came back with this after trying "ping 192.168.1.1" and "ping 192.168.2.1." Any other ideas?
    Thanks
