Hmmm.. That sounds cool.. I am using the Linksys BEFSR81 v2 model. I haven't finished reading the manual yet. Is there instructions in the manual to backup settings? If so, that would solve my problem all the way around. Except, if I can't get into the router to begin with, I can't backup the settings. hmmm.. still an interesting idea. Thank you very much for the suggestion, anyway.. Shobuz99 --- L JORGE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
