Linksys router can't access 198.162.1.1
Hi
I am trying to forward some ports for bit torrent use. I am running on cable going into a linksys BEFSR41 router and then out into 3 seperate computers
I have gained a static address like www.portforward.com says so but i cant access my router settings http://192.168.1.1
Therefore i cannot forward my ports
please help, does this mean as i cant access it that the firewall in the router is down too?

Question 2, can the computers using dhcp access the routers setup utilities?
In that window type: "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and then hit enter.
Look for the "Default Gateway" entry. That is the address you need to type into your web browser to access the router config.
i accessed my router forwarded certain ports and now my torrents (can i say that word round here!?) are all green, if anyone uses ABC can they share any tips?
when I get to the user / password screen, I type in the default password 'admin' and leave the user screen blank as per the instructions to access the web based setup utility...in order to change / update dmin functions. This is a brand new setup of a Lynksys router done by a complete novice (me) using the setup wizard.
Thanks for any help...

yes i am gettin that red screen u are describing, can u plz help me/
I used the actual ip address in the url line, and it ask for the login name and password.
I have used admin for login name and password for the password;
left login name blank and used admin for the password;
used admin for the login name, and left password box empty;
used admin for login name and password;
still nothing happens. I am stuck on the screen where it asks for login name and password.
please help me. My 482 days for my netgear warranty has expired, and suddenlink doesn't support any 3rd party routers. It took a kind agent in tech support to help me realize that the 10mbps plan that I was on, is now about 4 bucks cheaper. Otherwise, their customer service department would have just said nothing.
other thing, its saying "level 15 access"
