thanks Roberto. this is where i'm confused. the router works in that i can
get out to the internet fine. no problems there. however, my issue is that i
cannot access the router itself by entering the http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx url
that the vendor gives in the owners manual. any advice ito help me is
welcomed. thanks again.
