Can't telnet to my router Walter Cohen 05-27-06

I have a Buffalo whr-hp-g54 router and I cannot telnet to it for some
reason.
When I do telnet 192.168.1.1 it tells me it cannot open a connection to the
host on port 23. I also tried 192.168.11.1
Ideas?

Thanks.
Walter

I don't know your router, but is it possible to disable telnet access,
and might you have done that by accident?

Are you trying to connect from the LAN side or the WAN side? Even if
local telnet access is enabled, access from the outside is probably
disabled, which is an excellent idea.

The router is sitting right next to my computer I am now using.
The network cable from my pc is input to one of the LAN ports on the router.
The cable modem feeds into my router via the WAN port.
Everything else (internet access) works fine.

Are you sure it support telnet access? Many low end routers only support
web access.

You don't know the address? You tried x.x.1.1 and x.x.11.1?
