corjello Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Ok, Im going to give a bit of background info on my problem becuase you will think its really weird if i don't. My dad's buisness came into our house and installed a bunch of hardware and cables for his house office so that he can connect to his buisness's network from the house. Because our house is networked, they installed a hardware fireall//router. The technology guys who put the firewall in never left us a password to open and close ports and change other settings. Now that my dad got moved over to a DSL line (dunno why) and we are still on cable, the firewall doesnt matter anymore. Any way i can reset the firewall back to its factory settings with default passwords? I am trying to open up ports for my bittorrent client. (It hangs at 0 percent, so im assuming thats the problem, if its not whats the deal? Ive tried two diffrent clients by the way) Also it would be nice if someone could post a good tutorial on how to change settings on a hardware firewall once I resolve the password issue (yes i know theres a password cause ive tried it before) )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corjello Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 so your saying that all you have to do to reset a password is hit a button on the actuall router? ill try it but im skeptical... any good tuturials out there? )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Tarun Posted January 28, 2006 Administrator Share Posted January 28, 2006 Try learning in IRC too. Majority of issues occur with Cisco stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
