I have a Huawei Smartex MT880. The problem is that i may have unknowingly changed it's IP address sometime back. I have tried using various Linux commands(using ubuntu)[like " netstat -nr " but my gateway address comes out to be
I tried this command :
sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1

But when i try this address in FF or opera it still can't reach my modem.
I have tried the default Gateway address(192.168.1.1) in IE too but without help.

The manual said I can reset my modem with the pinhole in it but it didn't restore the gateway address even though I definately heard a click sound when i pushed in a pin( hope it wasn't something breaking ;) )

u need to keep the reset button pressed for atleast 10 secs ... and I think the modem needs to be ON when the reset button is pushed
