You might need to access the router from your desktop at first. I seem to remember a lot of routers only allow connections from LAN ports and not wireless. Though, yours could be different. Do you have any firewall rules running on the router itself? I would check to make sure that its not blocking ssh or any other service you might need. -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
