Networking for broadband

We are in the process of setting up a network ready to go broadband. This is
between a Mac and a PC with a Belkin router/modem.

The Mac is talking to the router with no problems, but when we try to access
the management page of the router we can't. Does anyone know why? Do we have
to wait until we get the broadband information in? Is there a way round this?

Thanks

I replied in uk.comp.home-networking

what IP addresses on Belkin, PC and Mac
what model Belkin

If you can't talk to the router you can't input the ISP details.

We can talk to the router that's fine, but can't put in the ISP details. The
Belkin is a 4 switch one modem/router, it's at home so I can't look at it and
give any further details just now.

Meaning that the Mac can ping the router but can't get to its management
page, or are you implicitly saying that the "other" machine can't get to
the management page, but that the Mac can?

How do you know your Mac is talking to the router?

What IP address(es) have your Mac and the Router got? Were these from
DHCP or statically allocated?

The Mac tells me it is talking to the Router and recognising it is there. I
can't get to the management page on either PC or Mac. But I need to check
addresses on the Mac to see if they match the router.

that may mean it got an IP address from the router. You'll do better
talking in here about PCs I suspect.

What IP address do you think the router is on ? What error message
does the PC give if you put that in the URL bar ?

connected to Belkin
