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)
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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

The status is NOT quo.
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?

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

Huh. None of mine ever have -- or maybe it could be enabled as tommyrot suggests, but you have to get access to it first...

Huh. I've never used an ethernet with linksys before. I think the problem may be that I need to adjust the IP to be static...or something. I'm going to google help.
I'm using the new MacBook Pro, tommy.

I don't remember enabling it, but I haven't upgraded my router in..wow, probably 5 years, at least. So it's probably something I turned on when we first hooked it up and then forgot about.

Hey. New board.
My parent's linksys can be adminned wirelessly out of the box. So can my Airport Express, but that seems like a necessity what with it only HAVING wireless.
Kristin, what IP address is the router giving your computer? Usually if you take your served IP and change the last number to "1" then you get admin. E.g. the Airport Express serves 10.0.0.xxx IPs, and 10.0.0.1 is it's admin IP.
