Connection information page?

Are you looking for your router's info page, or your modem's info page?

Either way, you won't access it through your external IP.

Unless you're talking about some sort of service running on your computer...Please clarify.

I went to portfoward.com and the instructions stated for me to type in my IP address of my router into my address bar of my brower so I can configure my ports.

http://www.portforward.com/english/r...eam_Client.htm

but when I enter the IP number, the page just comes up blank.
