I tried something else. I went to a Norton security web page because I remember it telling me what my IP address was. I did that, and it told me my ip address was 63.229.135.124. So I typed that into my browser. Nothing happened; it just hung. I tried typing in 192.168.1.101, and went to the web page on my Mac. So, maybe Norton is not reporting the real IP address correctly, or maybe I did not set up the ports in the Linksys correctly (instructions were simple, so I think I did it). I will work on getting into the Cisco modem tonight and see what IP address I can come up with.
