I have exactly the same problem at home - one computer running Windows95 with IE 5.5 won't access the admin page on the Freesco router but happily surfs the net through it. If I run a different browser (Lynx32) on the same box I can access the admin page on the router. Just tried "bypass proxy server for local addresses" and that didn't handle it. Tried unchecking "Use a proxy server" and what do you know - it works now. Wayne
