I have been using a dlink di-713p router for several years (5 or so?)
without many problems... but two days ago it stopped working. nothing
has changed with my hardware or software. I wanted to ask the group if
there are any good ways for me to tell if there may be some mystery
configuration issue, or is something in the unit has failed.
I am running windows 98 on a PC hardwired to the unit (port 3). when I
check winicfg, I cannot release the address, and if I attempt to
renew, it responds that the dhcp server is unavailable. If I take the
di-713p out of the loop and go directly to the modem, I can reboot,
release, renew and everything works fine.
Because the system is failing to "find" the di-713p as the default
gateway, I can't get to it to check or reset any of the configuration
via the webpage admin interface. I have tried the reset button on the
unit with no success.
so..... is it dead? how can I tell for sure? anything else I can try
to reset it?
thanks,
Dan
