30 minutes on hold, ouch, that bites. Isn't tech support great? And when they finally answer, it's 50/50 that they will be able to help you anyhow.
Yes, take the network cable from the back of your computer, and plug it into the modem. You will probably have to reset your computers IP address, and if you aren't sure how to do that, simply reboot the computer. Then as Donald says, type http://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.0.1/ in your browser, whichever one works. http://192.168.0.1/ is most common, but one of the routers I was playing with actually used http://192.168.1.1/ for some reason. This should cause the modem setup page to appear, and you can look at the different menu options to see what is available. About the only thing you want to do is look at the firewall settings (if there are any). I personally completely disable it, but others here may advise otherwise. Since you are behind a router, that does give some protection against malicious incoming connections. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guido" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2004 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] IP and port are wrong > My model number is B90-220030-04.
