I'm hoping someone can help me log into my Linksys Wireless-G Router model number: WRT54G version 6. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium edition. The problem I'm running into is that when I enter the default gateway's IP address in the address bar it seems to me that Vista is searching for it as a webpage and I get a page cannot be displayed. My computer is directly connected to the router and I can ping the router through the command prompt just fine. I disabled my firewall thinking that that might be the problem but it didn't work. This is the first time I'm trying to log into it through Vista. The only other solution that I can think of is that maybe Vista will only allow you to log into a router if your on an admin account. The problem there is that the account I'm using is an admin but Vista doesn't see it as one, I tryed to do an ipconfig /release but I was told the operation required higher elevation. So if thats the case how do I get Vista to recognize that my account is an administrator account? Sorry I know I wrote a lot so forgive my verboseness. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
