Well, I don't have an IT dept.. Actually, I guess I would be the IT dept <smile>, because I'm the webmaster for the web site of this non-profit organization. There are just two computers here in the office and they were setup and connected to the router about 3 or 4 years ago. Nothing was written down that I know of, as far as pw or id. I hope the person that I contact (who setup the router) can remember what they did! If I wanted to reset the router (linksys BEFSR81), as you suggest, would that procedure be in the router manual? I have the manual. Would I need to setup the 2 computers all over again, from scratch? I don't have any other ideas.. Thanks for your replies and help shobuz99
