so u mean i need to go to the main router that mine router connected to and change it there? or i can do it at my pc? cause my mom is won'd do anything that would help me with my shard... if i can do it on my pc i'll try harder
I am saying there is a default user name and password on most routers. If you did not setup your router somebody else may have changed the password.
Once you have the user name and password you should be able to get into the control panel from any computer on the network using the router's ip address which is usually something like 192.168.1.1.
You can check either your router's manual or you can go to the website of your router's manufacturer and read how to get into the control panel for your router. You said linksys, so go to
Welcome to Linksys.com and read through their support documentation for your router model.
It is also possible that your cable modem or DSL modem may also have a control panel and may also need port forwarding setup within that control panel.
Your cable or dsl company may have help on this part. You may also be able to google/search for your modem model number to find others who wanted to get into their control panel.
I would first try the router then bother with the modem.
You are pretty much the only one that can tell how things are setup, since we are not sitting at your computer to help you. We can only help based of of the details you have given and you don't really seem to know those details either.
