[isf-wifidog] Motorola WR850G Problem

[Don Druce]

Hi Gabe

Thanks for the ideas and the link. 

I changed the IP LAN address to 192.168.1.1
    The Macintosh then went to the X-WRT page
    I followed the suggested changes in your link

These did not correct the problem, so I went back to 192.168.10.1 and 
everything returned to as it was when I posted.

I tried using Mozilla rather than Explorer on my PC, and put 
192.168.10.1:2060 in the address bar, and I got the same result as on 
the Macintosh. (The Green Screen).  The Macintosh adds the :2060, while 
Mozilla does not, but if I add it, it goes to the Green Screen.

I will post back if I make any progress.  Looking more and more like an 
IP table problem to me, but I am one heck of a long way from being an 
expert on this - that is why I would rather try and troubleshoot it than 
try to reflash.

Don
