Can't reach router/gateway at 192.168.2.1
Just installed Win 10, after catastrophic death of beloved Win 7 machine. Now for some reason, Win 10 will not let me reach my router/gateway at 192.168.2.1, which is the correct IP address for it. My Win 10 machine has a "manual" IP address (as Win 10 calls it, instead of a "fixed Ip address which is what I'm used to calling it, but I digress...) of 198.168.2.101. All this is the same as I had in my Win 7 machine and I had no troubles getting on a browser and accessing my router.
What is Win 10 doing to prevent me from reaching my router ? My "internet connection" is a "private" (as opposed to Public). I have disabled the firewall with no effect; and rebooted, with no effect; still cannot reach router. Have to say, so far I wish I still was on Win 7, settings were straight forward to find.
Any ideas on what I need to do to allow my browser to talk to my router will be GREATLY appreciated !!
