Hey,

I have a Billion 7402GLM at home and i'm wondering if I can connect to it from work to change a setting? At home I just login to 192.1.168.136 and change settings... Can I do it externally? I've tried my actual home IP and it doesn't work, but I do get a ping response from my IP.


Any ideas?

Thanks

You normally have to log in locally and enable "remote admin" or "remote web login"

Not familliar with the Billion routers but most have this option. Then its normally a matter of punching in your external IP address (ie 202.***.***.***) and it will bring you to ghe log in page. Or sometimes its a matter of typing in your IP and a port number to access the remote admin. See if you can DL a manual online for the billion?

Just a question though what do you want to change? The only reason I could see you wanting to login to the admin remotely would be to change a forwarding port to a different LAN IP?

You dont have any of your PCs on your lan setup for remote desktop connection do you? ie you cant log in remotely and they access the router as if you were local?

I'm trying to use WebUI on uTorrent and I can't connect to my IP so I assume I need to forward a port or something too allow an external connection to uTorrent. The WebUI feature worked at home when using 127.0.0.1, obviously, but wouldn't work with my actual IP but the WebUI guide said it probably wouldn't work with the actual IP from the same computer. So now i'm trying externally and still no go.

Nah, no home PC's are set up for remote desktop.

The router should have a check box for "allow remote administration", followed by an input for a WAN address.
This means that you allow a single WAN address to access your modem interface (port 8080)

So you'd obtain you work IP address (www.whatismyip.com) and input that into your modem when you get home.
Only problem is that your work may not have a static WAN IP address.

So once setup you will be able to access your home modem by inputing along the lines of <a href="http://203.155.25.79" target="_blank">http://203.155.25.79</a> etc.

Ultimately its best to access your home computer then the modem locally. You achieve this by forwarding a WAN port of your choice (ie 34998) to LAN port 3389 on yourPCs IP (ie:192.168.1.21) address to access it remotely via MSTSC.

Hope that makes sense.
