2.If http://192.168.123.254 does not work, try http://192.168.123.254:88.

3.If you are unable to ping the router, do the following:

a.Check the configuration of the computer. It must be on the same subnet as the router (192.168.123.xxx). If not, refer to Appendix D, or to the Quick Start Guide for information on how to configure TCP/IP for your computers.
