Not sure sir, but I'd be interested to know myself.

Probebly says in the manual, I've just never bothered to look.

in a new browser window just type the IP address of the box in question, should open up the whole control panel for that device

[ie:: http: // 192.168.0.1 ] (w/out spaces of course)

I've seen the setting on the router page, but I'm unclear how to set it up. Instructions are necessary.

192.168.*.* is a privite IP scope. Meaning it is only used on privite networks, ie home networks. As far as your internet IP goes the info is correct. your ISP's offices are in NJ. Even if you are not. ;) Try putting in the IP address of your router. If you dont know this go to a DOS window and type ipconfig /all Look for the line in the info that reads Default Gateway... If the address it shows starts with 192.*.*.* you should be all set. That is the IP of your router. Once you are in the router, you are on your own. I can only tell you how to pull reports for Cisco devices. =)

Cheers!

Because it just happens to be your userName for access to the router...
(BTW - who set up your router for you ???)

now enter your password in there and you're in

then it was changed at set up time ... who set it up ?

you can try blanking out the user name and type [admin] (lower case, no brackets ) as the password...

OR (and you'll have to reset/configure it completely afterwards)::
find the little hole (should be in front of the four port model) and press the reset button with a paperclip hold it in for about a minute, this CLEARS EVERYTHING back to factory settings including logs, passwords, etc.
