Pedantic?
I'll get pedantic!
What if...
Hmmmmmmmm
Nawh...
I think that "that's WAY more than enough on THIS subject!!!" is right!

ET

PS: Which BTW, the multiple interface scenario escaped to me too!
And besides that, you can never be sure of anything with Mike! ;-)

(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<x> 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!!! :-))

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. What am I doing wrong?
