Close! 192.168.1.100 is your _computer's_ address. The reason you can't see anything if you http://192.168.1.100 is that your computer is not running a web server, which is entirely as it should be. Your router's address, at least it's internally-facing address is 192.168.1.1, and if you put http://192.168.1.1 into your browser you'll certainly be asked for a username and password; from there (usually in the "status" menu or something much like it) you'll be able to figure out what the externally-facing IP address of your router is. Good luck. -- "Tautologies are tautological." - Yoram Bauman
