DUUR, Router problems.

Taken from my previous thread,
"Not really, actually I was trying to forward ports on my router and I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know what a dmz was so I turned it on and now I can't go back to configure my router. How would I go about disabling the dmz so I can go back and configure it?"[/quote]

...Uh.. huh? I know nothing about routers.. should've said that in the in my first post.

192.168.1.100

change to:

192.168.1.101

for example. If your router is handing out an address via DHCP just set a diff one manually on the machine.

Okay, I type in my ip in web browser and can't access it (We all know this though). So if I went on a different computer on my lan and accessed it through that I could just disable it? Or is there a way to change that octect thing on my computer because I don't know how.
