    ADSL Router Name.....

    I have ADSL Router (Netgeat DM602) and I have my computer(Comp name: Alex) and my brothers computer(Comp name: Martin). We have DHCP Enabled.

    When I do a tracert to an outside webaddress, it shows me the router as 192.168.0.1 and has no name for me, but when I try this on his computer it does display 192.168.0.1 but for him it has the name as martin.mshome.net

    Emmmm why is the router named after his computer and how did it end up been named after his computer?

    In the router settings there is no mention of any name at all.

    When i got to this martin.mshome.net on his computer it comes up with a weird login screen, very different from the 192.168.0.1 standard one. When i log in it says something about WAN problems

    When i do martin.mshome.net in the URL it finds nothing.

    Any ideas

    Alex.

    Is there an actual problem or are you looking for trouble?

    Is ICS still enabled by any chance?
