| | Router Problem Hi everyone, I've installed the Ultimate version and along with it IE 7.0 Since then I can not connect with my router which is web based configured. Every time I try to access my router's page, I get the logon window and I type the username and password. But it's not accepted and the message "HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required" appears. I try to connect from my laptop with IE 6 and it's working fine. Another thing that happened after installing Vista, is that I can't make a connection by using WPA-PSK settings. Only when I change to WEP the connection is made. Even then, every time I reboot the connection is not fully restored (Local connection only) and I have to disconnect and reconnect again. Then my internet connection is working again. Any ideas? I'm using a Wirelles Maxg USB Adapter and my router is a Thomson, model: SpeedTouch 585. Thank you, Paul |

| | Re: Router Access Problem Network router will not respond using Internet Explorer in Windows Vista! I have a new Windows Vista PC and using the Internet Explorer, the Router would not respond to setup or access commands! The router works OK and it will connect to the internet and other computers on the network I then tried to access the router using the FireFox browser and it works just fine. You can download and install the Mozilla FireFox for Windows Vista for free. Just give it a try. I am using Linksys routers and have even tried 2 different models and both do exactly the same thing. They will not respond using the Vista Internet Explorer but when you use the FireFox they will respond and work just fine. Mark |
