how can i reset or login to my server from the www NOT from inside the network

[davejet]

I have a need to be able to login in my router and get to the settings and reset pages from the WWW while I am traveling.

NOT from inside the network using http://192.168.1.254.

Sometimes the router messes up the port forwarding and needs to be reset or I just need to check the settings, while traveling.

All of my prior routers have this ability.

usually you use the ip address of the router and a port that directs it to the router with a password and you can access the router settings.

If you do not know the answer please save your breath and dont say it can  not be done, I am sure that if you call support they can log into your router.

Call support and ask how they do it.  I bet they won't tell you.  Other than that it can't......That's right.....I'm saving my breath.

I thinks it's a backdoor in the firmware strictly for AT&T use so they can access the gateway remotely, regardless of how tightly you lock it down (or mess it up) on your side. They probably don't even get/use the same interface. Other than that there is no mechanism in place for remote user/consumer access to the gateways.

If you really want/need that kind of access, get a third party router and install it between the gateway and your network, and configure your ports from there, locally or remotely.

Whew, now I'm really out of breath.

There is no way to access the 2Wire web pages from the WAN side of the gateway except through AT&T's gateway management system known as TR-069.

You will have to leave a computer turned on 24/7, and use a remote service like LogMeIn to enable you to connect to that computer using a remote session. Once connected to that computer in a remote session, then you can get to http://192.168.1.254 .
