I noticed that when I connected my cable modem directly to my pc via usb,
then connected the router to my pc via Cat5, I could not access the router.
Linksys now has *live* tech support chat via the web. I was highly amused
when they told me to try rebooting both the router and my computer as a
possible solution because (as I pointed out to them) the medium through
which I was communicating with them would be severed.
I wanted to thank Frank for posting the IP for linksys as default; I still
can't connect to the router with that IP. I powercycled the router, and
tried a few other things to connect to it. Windows seems to be automatically
addressing my internal ips to 168.dot.dot. . . and I wanted 192. I remember
getting something setup on my last hard drive where I could setup the port
forwarding options right from my system tray.
Does anyone else have problems with linksys that they would like to share?

Don't get your free email at hotmail.com
Use Open Source Software. http://www.gllug.org is much better.
