Can't access Management Tool

Occaisonally I have trouble accessing the Management
Tool. It is greyed out and unavailable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this would be
happening?
I am suspicious of my firewall (I have it activated so it
could be blocking somehow?) but not sure.

I posted a similar question earlier today (can't access
the management feature no matter what I try ... wireless,
hardwired, with or without my firewall enabled etc. etc.).

I wish I could offer you a better suggestion, but perhaps
you should try disabling your firewall temporarily ... it
didn't work for me, but it might work for you.

Hi,

Have you tried accessing the Management Tool from your internet browser?
Just open up your internet browser and type in http://192.168.2.1 in the
address bar and it should come up.

Hi,

I can't access the Management tool from the internet and
it is greyed out on my computer. My firewall is
disabled, so I don't think that's it. Any other
suggestions?

Have you made sure that the proxies in your Internet Explorer are all
cleared?

Open your Internet Explorer, then go to Tools, then Internet Options.

Now go to the connections tab,
then click on the LAN Settings button.
Uncheck all the checkmark boxes and then hit OK and then OK again.

Now try going to http://192.168.2.1 and see if it works.

You can't access the BSMT while you are not behind the MN-100, MN-500,
or MN-700. (I listed all three because you didn't start a new thread &
list which Microsoft router you are running)

At the address bar of your browser type 192.168.2.1 and
hit enter to get into the tool.
Also ensure no proxy's are there.
