IE7 don't access to router

Hello everyone,

I have a problem on my house network. I have one XP SP3 desktop
computer and a Vista Basic laptop. Both have IE7 installed. The two
computers are connected to a netgear router by cables. On both
computers, I cannot access my router's configuration page
(192.168.0.1), I don't even have access to the prompt login of my
router. I keep getting a HTTP 400 error, but I can navigate anywhere
on internet without any problems. I tried accessing my router using
Microsoft Word 2003 Web toolbar on both computers and I got a little
further. I got the prompt login of my router, but after the user and
password entered, Word redirect to a IE7 window and then I get a HTTP
400 error. On my XP machine, I unistalled IE7 to get back to IE6 and
try to access my router and it worked fined, I had access to
everything. I reinstalled IE7 and tried I could not access to my
router again. This makes me think that the problem is somewhere in
IE7, because it seems to work with Word 2003, which was probably
programmed with internet controls of IE5 or 6 since it's development
date. I alos installed Firefox to try to access my router and it
worked fine too. But I don't want to use Firefox, I prefer using the
build in applications to reduce the risk of incompatibility softwares
and also to reduce the amount of software installed on my machines,
that does the same things. I have tried disabeling the TCP/IPv6
protocol to my network connection, tried adding my router address to
internet and intranet authorized sites, tried deactivated the fishing
filter, nothing worked.

Any ideas?

Can your access the router if you start IE7 without any add-ons?
Starting IE7 without add-ons is an option in the Start - All Programs menu or
by right-clicking on the desktop icon.

That means there is something there but that it doesn't like your request
for some reason, possibly it doesn't like the protocol version you are trying
to use. E.g. try HTTP 1.0 instead of HTTP 1.1 or vice versa.

You could try simulating a request by using telnet to the address' port 80
E.g. enter GET / when the screen clears.

Does it work with another browser? Then the most likely cause is the
User-Agent string. You can spoof an MSIE 6.0 User-Agent string
using various utilities that are now available.

That definitely looks like the device is being stupid about your User-Agent.
Either spoof the User-Agent of something it likes or see if the device can
be modified to accept MSIE 7.0 in the User-Agent.

Hello everyone.

Thanks for your responses.

I've tried what Richard said and it didn't work.

I've tried the various options by changing the checkboxs in the
advanced tab for the HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 1.1 with proxy and didn't
worked also. I then went to wikipedia to read about User-agent, and
it's seems to be a good guest. I downloaded the MS User-Agent String
utility 2.0 and installed it, lunched it and then tried to access my
router and it didn't work either. The utility seemed to be working
fine, the string was

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; SLCC1; .NET
CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)

Still came up with a HTTP 400 error.

Any other ideas?


Thanks

Charles

Did you try what Chad said? I just had the exact same problem, found
this thread, tried 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1, and it worked.
