Hi all,
I regularly stream content from my desktop PC to my various wireless devices (Chromecast for video, Shield tablet for games, etc.). However, recently I haven't been able to see those devices from my desktop computer or vice versa. Digging into it, I've found that I am not able to access my default gateway to access my router config settings either. I'm assuming the two are related.
Current setup:
Modem connected to WAN port on router (Linksys E2500). Desktop computer is wired into LAN port (I've tried all 4 ports). Various other devices (tablet, phone, chromecast, etc.) connected successfully wirelessly. All of my devices, including my wired desktop, can access the internet fine.
What I've found so far:
-Accessing default gateway (192.168.1.1) on my wired desktop from any browser gives "This webpage is not available". I've tried http, https, specifying port, etc with no luck.
-Pinging '192.168.1.1' from the command line does connect and get a response. Also, I looked up the local IP addresses for my chromecast, tablet, and phone, and am able to ping all of those addresses successfully as well.
-I *can* access my router's config settings on my wired desktop by accessing my public IP address (googling what's my ip?) in browser.
-All my wireless devices are able to access router config directly through the default gateway, as well as communicate with each other (ex. tablet recognizes chromecast).
-I hooked my work laptop up wired to the router, and it was able to access the router through the default gateway in browser, aswell as see devices such as chromecast. This makes me believe it's an issue isolated to my desktop, and not the ports on the router.
Relevant Information from ipconfig on desktop:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.149 (this is within range of the DHCP ip range settings on the router)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
Network Adapter Settings:
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are set to automatically get IP address and DNS address settings.
I've reset my router to factory settings multiple times, purged and re-installed my network drivers, power cycled entire system, updated router firmware, etc. I'm lost at this point.
Thanks for reading this far, any and all help is appreciated.
