If you have proxy settings, you need to disable these on your computer. Because the Router is the gateway for the Internet connection, the computer does not need any proxy settings to gain access. Please follow these directions to verify that you do not have any proxy settings and that the browser you use is set to connect directly to the LAN.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher:

A.Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options.

B.Click the Connections tab.

C.Click the LAN settings button and remove anything that is checked.

D.Click the OK button to go back to the previous screen.

C.Close all the windows to finish.
