Accessing Router set up utility using Vista Home Premium with IE 7

have been unable to access my Router set up remotely since using a laptop
running Vista Home Premium and IE 7. Linsys support says it is a IE 7 issue.
Did not have a problem with remote access runnign IE 6 on a XP Pro machine.
Any suggestions?

You may want to add the router to Trusted Sites. Or this post may help.
Please post back with the result.

Where is The Router on a ' Vista Home Premium ' model? I can't find my
Ip for it.

What make of router?

The maker will have given it a default IP address, often 192.168.1.1 but
this can be changed.

The router IP address has nothing to do with what operating system you're
running. Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Examples given are for a Linksys router. Refer to your router manual or the
router mftr.'s website for default settings if you don't have a Linksys.
Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the addressbar
type:

http://192.168.1.1 [enter] (this is the router's default IP address, which
varies from router to router so check your manual)

This will bring you to router's login screen. The default username is left
blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter
that information. If you don't have a router, refer to your manual. You are
now in the router's configuration utility.

And further to what Malke said above the router may need you to enter a
"Port" number which again you will get from the manual. This number
would be added like this ...

http://192.168.1.1:8080

What will get you is if someone (Previous owner maybe) has changed these
settings, because with most routers they can be changed. In that case
your best and maybe only chance it to reset to factory defaults.

Hi
Download this free utility and run it.
It would show you the IP of every thing on the network, including the
Router,
