If the Linksys

it should (and
assuming the

should be able
to figure out
the ‘correct’

the Linksys. <br>
So, do
‘ifconfig’ on
the PC to see
what address
it got
(192.168.0.123

and change the
last octet to
1 and you
should have
your linksys

If I remember
correctly, you
have 2
routers. You
should refer
to your old
conversations
on this

into a router

I
decided to

after I did so
the internet
after the

not connect.
so I unplugged
the linksys
and
reconnected
the power but
that didn't
help. SO I
figured that
maybe I needed
to reconfigure
it so I
pressed the

for 30 seconds
and connected
the internet
port to the

restarted the
computer but I
couldn't get
into the
configuration
page
(192.168.1.1).
I seem to

it was
192.168.101.1

didn't work
either. What
