forcing the router's IP

I'm trying to force the IP of my router because it is set to bridge mode..I can't get in to the User Interface page of my router.I forgot what IP should I assign..is it 172.16.0.5? My router's IP is 172.16.0.1.

Look in the manual and follow the instructions for a factory reset... They all have them...

is 172.16.1.0 a reserved IP?

Yes.... It's the most common but it is private....

You couls also use

10.x.x.x
192.168.x.x

Actaully there is a pretty effective tool that will help you reset the interface right here.

You can also use the Microsoft subnet that XP defaults to when it doesn't have a config or access to a DHCP server: 169.254.0.0/16 I believe. I don't think it is an official "Reserved network" but they use it that way, I guess.

(Just kidding about the tool, BTW.)

I tried to give you points for that one

Thanks....I needed that

Actually the autoassigned address range is 169.254.0.0/16 , its called the "link local" block by RFC 3330 which I guess is the cool version of RFC 1918. Just thought I'd throw that in for the curious. BTW, the interface reset tool I got didnt seem to come with any docs, cant figure it out. :)
