Can't access BT HomeHub 4? But I'm online ok?

I have full access to the internet, all websites appear to work fine. But I'm trying to access my BT Home Hub 4 via my main desktop PC which is attached via a network cable to the hub. Usually just click on the desktop shortcut I have to get into it but no matter what I do all I get is the page below:-

I've tried switching the power off on the HH4, changing to Open DNS, flushed my Chrome DNS cache, tried Firefox and IE - still nothing, can't access the HH4? I've also tried accessing it over wireless via my tablet and iphone as well as another PC with a wireless dongle. Also tried switching off Windows Firewall. Op System is Win 8.1.

Googling the error doesn't come up with much info at all. I'm completely stumped!!

If I try accessing the hub via the IP 192.168.1.254 it gives me the error shown below:-

**EDIT** - Also, pinging that IP from an elevated cmd prompt gives me a 'request timed out'.

Here's what shows if I carry out an ipconfig /all command:-

your default gateway is 192.168.0.1

your hub's address has been changed

If I type 192.168.0.1 into a browser it shows I'm connected to a Sky Hub? What on earth? See screenshot below:-

Try a tracert to bbc.co.uk see where it goes

Turn off the wireless of your desktop PC!

I reckon it is connecting you to an unsecured nearby Sky router.

There's no wireless connectivity on this PC. At all. I'm connected and always have been via a LAN cable direct to the HomeHub.

I reckon you're using Homeplugs and have accidentally paired with a neighbour's set.

Nope. This PC is connected via a Cat 5 cable directly into the back of the BT HomeHub 4. There are no homeplugs in between. There is a homeplug in the dining room which my wife's PC is connected to but this, my main desktop PC is directly connected to the router via a normal bog standard LAN cable.

I still reckon it's the homeplugs. Regardless of whether your PC is connected to it or not, If one of them is connected to your neighbour's as well as your router, then it's going to put 2 DHCP servers on your network.

Disconnect the homeplug from the router, renew your DHCP lease if necessary and try again.
