[QUOTE="MMM, post: 567850, member: 45431"] [b]All Fixed[/b] Hi... So, my router had been hijacked! I am not sure of details, but basically when I went to configure my router there was a strange IP acting as the gateway...not your regular 192.168.0.1 IP, but 72.172.170.1... This is some kind of router phishing dealy. I am guessing that the old PC I connected to use as a testing machine had a virus that allowed this...? I am performing full scans now. I feel sort of embarrassed *blush* why didn't I check that first? DUH Ah well...everything works great now. I really appreciate all the help I received :) Anyone here ever have this happen? Crazy. Could a virus cause this? I am assuming and I plan to investigate further! :Angry-Tongue: [/QUOTE]
