Thread: Computer Help.......

Earlier this evening this page kept appearing as I was trying to turn onto the internet

http://gateway.2wire.net/xslt?PAGE=H...EXTPAGE=HURL08

As I'm a complete dinosaur on computers is this anything to be concerned about ?? Last night my son's xbox was hacked by somebody in America and they tried to use bank details Could this be connected in any way ??

After an hour or so of trying to connect to the internet, this page didn't come up again and everything seems back to normal

This is caused by your modem and there are 2 settings to check on it for this (assuming your router is on 192.168.1.254):

1.Excessive Session Detection

Accsess gui 192.168.1.254, select firwall tab, advanced settings, remove Excessive Session Detection, save

2.Router Bhind Router Alert

Accsess gui 192.168.1.254/mdc, select configure under local network, remove Router Bhind Router Alert, click on submit

Close web browser down when changed these settings, re-opened, should fix problem

On the second one make sure the UPNP is turned off as this will open inbound ports on the router if devices inside ask for them to opened.

The actual hack/attempted hack and the issue may be related.

I had one of these modems and ended up throwing it in the bin and I run a complete network behind it (i.e. servers) and it kept making this router think that I was doing things it should stop i.e. having a network behind it.
