How to Access the Web-based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Gateway's default
IP address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
A password request page, shown in Figure 5-1 will appear. (non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.)
Enter admin (the default user name) in the User Name field, and enter admin (the default password) in the
Password field. Then click the OK button.
Some of the screens and their features may differ from the descriptions in this User Guide, depending on which
version of the firmware the Gateway is using.

The Setup Tab

The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup tab. (See Figure 5-2.) This tab allows you to change the
