i've had sky bb mid for just over a week, no problems until connection just hung on Tues, so i re-booted the router & all fine again. (this may be coincidence but i'm pretty sure it was the same day i downloaded AVG free anti-spyware - i've given more info later).
as per info on skyuser, when bb went active, i logged in on 192. & changed settings, password etc.
since the reboot, i've been unable to log back in on 192. i've tried my new user/password (& all various combinations of upper/lower case, even though i know what it is?!) admin/sky won't work either.
i rang sky tech yesterday & spoke to 'Henry', told him my problem, he asked me to go to my mcafee privacy settings to enable cookies - somewhat of a problem as i only use mcafee for firewall & AVG is my anti-spyware!
even after i'd told him this & that the option of 'manage users' wasn't showing on mcafee privacy, he insisted it was mcafee & put me thru to the mcafee help line - which was busy & i just put the phone down...
i've been into the settings on IE7 & told it to allow cookies from 192.168.0.1, but this hasn't made any difference. checked the settings on spyware & it checks for tracking cookies but doesn't auto delete them.
i switched off avg anti-spyware today but still wasn't able to log in.
i've put the same question on skyuser but no real joy on there yet, just hoped someone on here might have any ideas?
thanks for any replies.

If not it may help to narrow down the issue.

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password
or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds).
2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
thanks for the info Mark - now as i'm a bit of a pc novice, just where would i find the option to do this? i've had a look round on my network connections, properties - but can't see anything for this option. sorry to be so dim!
beerhunter - i did a re-boot at the router after i'd tried a few things yesterday, didn't make any difference unfortunately. (perhaps i didn't push the reset button in for long enough?, i'll probably end trying it again anyway!!).

thanks
edit - (sorry, i was typing that before i'd refreshed the page. i think from your reply, this is what i've found. thanks for the help - i think i need a lie down in a dark room now!)

hope you get your other problem sorted, don't get too frazzled in the meantime eh!
thanks again
go start, run, cmd and enter, then type ipconfig /all and enter.
What does the default gateway come up with?
Set up your security. By default, routers are in an unsafe configuration. Read Improving Your Default Security for an explanation, and simple instructions about how to be safer.
The router username is always admin
The default password is password or (for older routers) 1234
Try the default username and password before resetting the router to the factory defaults.
When a router resets, it goes back to the state when it was new — all information that was entered by hand is lost! Examples are critical things you need to get online, such as ISP username, ISP password, IP addresses, security keys, and ports and services that were opened. It all needs to be re-entered.
So, have your ISP information before resetting the router.
Naturally, if you moved to a new city, or if you bought a used router, the old information in the router may not be of use to you. Contact your ISP if you can't connect any computer directly to the Internet. Then, if there is a connection problem when the router is added, see No Internet Access Through the Router
Reset for most routers with a reset button on the rear panel
Write down configuration information such as IP addresses, security keys, opened ports and services, etc., that you modified. (The default username is admin and the password is either password or 1234. Try these before resetting the router.)
Press the reset button on the back until the test light blinks. This takes about 10 seconds. (To avoid accidental resets, the small button is recessed. Use a pen or paperclip to access it.)
Release the button.
Wait for the router to reboot.
Log in with the default password.
If the router was not cleared, try these additional steps AFTER the router has finished rebooting.
Unplug the router's power.
Press and hold the reset button. While the button is held down, reconnect router's power.
Continue to hold the reset button for 20 seconds after reconnecting the power.
Wait for the router to reboot.
Log in with the default password.
For FR314, FR318, and FV318
These routers require reloading the firmware in order to recover from a lost password. Download the most recent firmware from NETGEAR's Web site before proceeding. Follow the instructions in the manual.
For routers with a 9-pin manager port on the rear panel: RT314, RT311, RM356, RT328, RT338, RH340, and RH348
See Updating Router Firmware That Uses a Manager Port.
i've tried various router reboots now, including the power off & hold the reset key in - it just got stuck on power & test lights flashing for over 10 mins so i unplugged it as thought it was stuck!?
i've beed advised on the netgear forum NOT to do anything regarding to firmware as Sky use different to netgear standard issue & i could end up with a dead box that isn't covered by sky...
boot xp in safe mode? PC novice here & i don't want to go fiddling with something & get stuck...sad i know!
thanks for your time.
i thought i'd see if my Wii could go online, using the new ssid/key i'd set up, if not, i'd know the router had been reset & it was something on my PC that was causing the problem.
i did one more reboot with the reset button, Wii couldn't go online, tried a final time on my PC just for the sake of it!, & admin/sky worked!!
slightly weird...
thanks for your time on this
