Pedantic? I'll get pedantic! What if... Hmmmmmmmm Nawh... I think that "that's WAY more than enough on THIS subject!!!" is right! 8-) ET PS: Which BTW, the multiple interface scenario escaped to me too!

(Of course, if we wanted to get pedantic, I just (a nanosecond before I hit 'send') realized that there IS a case where it might not be right - consider the case of more than one (active) Ethernet device, and the eth which has your linksys on it isn't the one that is the default route... ok, that's WAY more than enough on THIS subject!!! :-)) > > -----Original Message----- > From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.phxlinux.org] On Behalf Of kitepilot@kitepilot.com > Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 12:26 PM > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Subject: Re: internet problem > > Carruth, Rusty writes: > >> So, do ‘ifconfig’ on the PC to see what address it got (192.168.0.123 or 192.168.1.2 or whatever), and change the last octet to 1 and you should have your linksys IP address.

SO I figured that maybe I needed to reconfigure it so I pressed the reset button for 30 seconds and connected the internet port to the computer and restarted the computer but I couldn't get into the configuration page (192.168.1.1). I seem to remember that it was 192.168.101.1 but that didn't work either.
