http://192.168.1.1 - Network is unreachable

Asked by freebie

I'd just replace my faulty modem with the new one. I use ethernet cable to connect the modem to my PC. I want to access the router webpage at 192.168.1.1 but it gives me this: "Failed to connect" . I type this on terminal:
ping 192.168.1.1
then I got this message: Network is unreachable
Now I don't know how to configure my modem.
Hope somebody could help.
Thank you in advance.

You could try manually setting the network address on your network card with this command in a terminal: -

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

That should configure your network card and then you can try browsing to the router web page.

I changed the configuration setting for wired connection (Network Setting) from Static IP to DHCP. Then I tried browsing 192.168.1.1 and it works. Anyway, thanks for your help :)
