The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, Jessica. Hm. Do I have to put www first? It's not connecting for some reason.

Hm, no idea. You shouldn't have to put www in front of a local IP address, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You might also try 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.0 -- the first two signify the local network, but I've seen the last two vary from one router manufacturer to another.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What's the IP address you use to find settings, again?

Is it a web-based thingie to show/edit settings? Then try "http://192.168.0.1" (or whatever the IP address is)

I have a feeling I'm missing something really obvious here. The linksys is on, I'm connected to the internet via an ethernet cable for the moment (since the linksys isn't responding), yet when I try any of those addresses, it gives me a server not responding message.

ETA: It automatically assigns the http in front. Is that the problem? How can I make it not do that?

You need to be connected by cable to the linksys to get to the admin thingie (admin thingies generally often won't work with wireless, at least by default)

(edited to be more right)

What kind of computer is it? (If you find the computer's local IP address, you should be able to figure out the IP address of the router.)

It shouldn't be the problem.

You can enable wireless admin on most routers. But by default, yeah, you only get admin via Ethernet.

Really? Mine does.
