Changes in Internet topology lead to doubling of SRAM clock speed

A new standard for SRAM memory that manufacturers of IP routing equipment have been anxiously awaiting for up to three years, makes its debut this month, as Cypress Semiconductor becomes the first of a five-company consortium to roll out QDRII+ (Quad Data Rate, class two, accelerated) SRAM samples, for testing by clients such as Cisco Systems. Because network addresses are being simplified, there's more of them, and Cisco's routers are having a harder time keeping up with them...thus, the need for faster SRAM caches. Read more

XDR2 to quintuple memory data transfer speeds by 2007

"Parallelism" is the keyword underscoring several semiconductor architectures this decade. Now it's the turn of the memory: Rambus announced the availability of "micro-threading" for XDR2 memory, the company's next generation memory technology. Memory clock speeds will catapult to 8 GHz, up from a current maximum of 4.8 GHz of XDR1. Read more

lost my router's IP address

Hi there folks, this is going to sound like a pretty stupid scenario, but somehow or another I have lost my router's IP address. After setting it to 192.168.1.4 and changing some other settings I cannot access the configuration page. I would gladly use the reset button except that I Cannot for the life of me figure out how. The router is a Gigafast WF719-CAPR and others on the net have had trouble with the button. The manual is no help...

I have the thing bridging off my original network, and I did have it working 100% at one point. The odd thing is that now it still acts fine as a bridge (when I plug computers into the router, they can access the network/internet) The only thing is I can't access the config page with the IP address that I assigned!!!

I was wondering if there is some sort of software LAN monitor out there that I could use to detect the various devices in my network and their respective IP addresses. I know the thing is working with my network because it is enabling internet access on my computers, its just gone and hidden itself and I need a way to find it!!!

Thanks!

There ar several scanners out there, Do a search on Google. If connect to the router, then look at your port properties. See what it is setting your Gateway at. And try connecting to it. I know the older OS's you have to do a release and renew when you chage the router settings.

You could always reset the router to factory and start over.

thanks for the speedy reply Blue.

Unfortunately I set my router to disable DHCP, so even when I directly connect it to only one computer I can't pick up any network settings, so I don't really know what the gateway is.

Also I can't really reset it to factory settings because I don't know how to... like I said in my previous post the reset button does not work

I will keep searching for scanners and I'll try the release/renew as you said ... I'll let you know if I make any progress

I placed a little tool called 'ip-scan' on my webhost download here.

You can enter ip-ranges and ip-scan will show you all active hosts on that specific range :)
you can check ranges 192.168.1.0 / 192.168.1.253 or 10.0.0.0 / 10.0.0.253 if it finds anything.
