I just installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Everything is working great,
however, I cannot figure out how to access my Linksys router! When I
type in my default gateway, it comes up Page cannot be displayed. Can't
get to it in Firefox either. I can access this on my XP machines though
so it has something to do with Vista. I'm connected to the internet just
fine and can access web pages. Here's my ipconfig: (what the heck are
these Tunnel Adapter Entries?. What's IPv6 and IPv4?)

The first question is where did you come up with that IP addressing scheme?
You aren't using a standard one and that could be the cause of all your
problems.

IPv4 Allowable addresses for private networks:

10.0.0.0/8. The 10.0.0.0/8 private network is a Class A network ID that
supports the following range of valid IP addresses: 10.0.0.1 through
10.255.255.254.

172.16.0.0/12. The 172.16.0.0/12 private network can be interpreted either
as a block of 16 Class B network IDs or as a 20-bit assignable address
space (20 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the
private organization. The 172.16.0.0/12 private network supports the
following range of valid IP addresses: 172.16.0.1 through 172.31.255.254.

192.168.0.0/16. The 192.168.0.0/16 private network can be interpreted either
as a block of 256 Class C network IDs or as a 16-bit assignable address
space (16 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the
private organization. The 192.168.0.0/16 private network supports the
following range of valid IP addresses: 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.255.254.

Linksys normally uses 192.168.1.xxx with the router taking 192.168.1.1.

Do you have some kind of access control on the router?

The tunnel entries are for VPN connections. IPv6 is the successor to
IPv4, but isn't in wide use yet.

** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

I have the WRT54G v 3 router and recently bought a new HP HDX with
windows vista x64 and had trouble staying connected to the internet. My
Dell running XP and Mac computer both stay connect without any problems.

I can confirm that Linksys WRT54G lower editions do not work with
Windows Vista. I changed numerous setting on computer and router,
downloaded firmware, driver, and tried every trick I could find posted
on forums to no avail. About 10 hours were spent with both Linksys
technical support and HP HDX technical support and Vista technical
support to fix the problem. Discovered this version is incompatable
(although it says compatable on Linksys web site) with Windows Vista.

Linksys tried to charge me $30 to talk to their "special technical
support" or $30 to get an extended warranty to try some "other things".
I ended up just using their online tech guys and was much happier with
their service/help - alas the "other things" did not work. Time was
lost but didn't have to pay more money for nothing.

Decided to leave Linksys after the ordeal and looking for a new router.
If you've tried everything including the help on this post - you are
not alone.
