Can your access the router if you start IE7 without any add-ons?
Starting IE7 without add-ons is an option in the Start - All Programs menu or
by right-clicking on the desktop icon.

| Hello everyone,
|
| I have a problem on my house network. I have one XP SP3 desktop
| computer and a Vista Basic laptop. Both have IE7 installed. The two
| computers are connected to a netgear router by cables. On both
| computers, I cannot access my router's configuration page
| (192.168.0.1), I don't even have access to the prompt login of my
| router. I keep getting a HTTP 400 error, but I can navigate anywhere
| on internet without any problems. I tried accessing my router using
| Microsoft Word 2003 Web toolbar on both computers and I got a little
| further. I got the prompt login of my router, but after the user and
| password entered, Word redirect to a IE7 window and then I get a HTTP
| 400 error. On my XP machine, I unistalled IE7 to get back to IE6 and
| try to access my router and it worked fined, I had access to
| everything. I reinstalled IE7 and tried I could not access to my
| router again. This makes me think that the problem is somewhere in
| IE7, because it seems to work with Word 2003, which was probably
| programmed with internet controls of IE5 or 6 since it's development
| date. I alos installed Firefox to try to access my router and it
| worked fine too. But I don't want to use Firefox, I prefer using the
| build in applications to reduce the risk of incompatibility softwares
| and also to reduce the amount of software installed on my machines,
| that does the same things. I have tried disabeling the TCP/IPv6
| protocol to my network connection, tried adding my router address to
| internet and intranet authorized sites, tried deactivated the fishing
| filter, nothing worked.
|
| Any ideas?
