You may want to add the router to Trusted Sites. Or this post may help.
Please post back with the result. Can't access router from IE 7 because of Silverlight http://www.chicagotech.net/forum1.htm -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Troy" wrote in message ... have been unable to access my Router set up remotely since using a laptop running Vista Home Premium and IE 7.

Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. Refer to your router manual or the router mftr.'s website for default settings if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the addressbar type: http://192.168.1.1 [enter] (this is the router's default IP address, which varies from router to router so check your manual) This will bring you to router's login screen. The default username is left blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter that information. If you don't have a router, refer to your manual. You are now in the router's configuration utility. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

This number would be added like this ... http://192.168.1.1:8080 What will get you is if someone (Previous owner maybe) has changed these settings, because with most routers they can be changed. In that case your best and maybe only chance it to reset to factory defaults. |
