got a question about netgear routers.

192.168.0.1 is probably your router's IP. I'm sure there are ways to change it, but you'll have to read the manual for it. I don't have a netgear router.

no, i'm talking about spoofing my internal ip to the router. it assigns ips based on how many computers are connected (chronologically) to the network and once it assigns you an ip it doesn't change until you unplug your connection to the router.

You should give up on that one. I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably quite complex, and I have no clue as to how it's done. If you really want to do it for some reason, check out RFC 793, 1825, and 1948.

i tried doing it the easy way (through control panel) and it told me "that static ip is already in use". so yeah, i think it would be a lot more complex than i'm thinking.

Have you tried changing your routers settings?

i can access the settings, but it requires a password. it's one of those internal website things that you connect to using an internal ip.

Try 192.168.1.2 Or 192.168.0.2

Don't forget to set your DNS server IPs and subnet mask. Just use the Subnet you currently have (command prompt: ipconfig /all). Your gateway should be 192.168.1.1. Any Internet DNS IP should work for internet access. Just because you are restricted to that 1 DHCP address doesn't necessarily mean you can't physically assign yourself another. If that router model is locking your particular LAN port to that specific IP than you may need to change ports on the Router/Switch.

Or, go to 192.168.0.1 and type:

Username: Admin
Password: Password

or

Username: Admin
Password: 1234

i tried that with no success. i think he has me locked down pretty good..

he's not stupid enough to leave admin passwords default, so, short of trojanning/keylogging him, i don't think there is anything i can do.


just a thought.. when i enter 192.168.0.1 it tells me it's in use. could i just pull his ethernet cable and then use .1 as the ip since it'll no longer be in use?
note: it's a 4 port router. switching ports does nothing.
