I brought Linksys firewall 4 ports firewall router, I connected cable to router to pc and laptop, reseted router, using reset button in back of it, for 10 sec, reboot, got connected to internet just fine. Ok I want to manage settings on router, so I followed direction, I put set up wizard cd in, it detected my mac code and login in but domin is empty. I dunno what to fill in domin. Then clicked next, it said it cannot configure my router, try to reset it for 10 sec(which I did) or call linksys for tech support. It happen after login, domin, and mac code detection. So I went get direction that came with router, I am still stuck in step 3 as configure router. I typed http://192.168.1.1 on web browser and "enter network password" pop up asked me for user name and password. It said leave user name blank but fill out Admin password, so I entered my win xp password but it wrong password. I know my password and it is in numbers not letters as it asked in direction to use lower case password. So do I need to go change my win xp password then try again? I dont know my network password, cuz I never set it up. I am confuse if it means my win xp password or network's.

The username and password prompted when accessing the router through the http interface is the username and password for your router. (NOT for your WinXP login)

You can find user-guide with pictures and everything in pdf format here (it should also be on the CD-ROM which came with the router) :

I checked my cd rom, it said model BEFSX41 but no username or password. I have no clue what to fill out. I did check out guides, but username and password is what stopping me from process to configure. Also on cd rom, do I need domin for win xp? I just click workgroup after installed win xp in set up before activation menu for win xp. So do I need go and change workgroup to domin? this is what I have
