I have the Linksys WRT54G, and no matter what I do I can't access the control webpage. Whenever I type in my internal IP address in to any web browser it says "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." And that's it I can do anything. My internal IP address is default set to: 192.168.1.1 Please help, I need to access the page so I can forward a port, for my video game.

By the way I'm not sure if this is a Hardware or software problem so if this is in the wrong section please let me know.

I have tried Hamachi and it seems to work fine, but its just so inconvenient to have to install it to play on a server, port forwarding takes care of this problem.

Boot to Safe Mode with Networking. Can you connect from there?
Disable the Windows Firewall temporarily and see if you can connect.
What Anti-virus software are you using? Mayb3e it's interfering?

I am using Norton, my fire wall is disabled, and I don't know what Networking Safemode is.

My bad, should have provided better directions.

To boot to Safe Mode with Networking, restart the computer then press the F8 key every second or so as soon as you see the manufacturers logo. You will get to the Advanced Option Boot menu. From there select Safe Mode with Networking.

See if you can connect to the router to make the changes you need. If not, boot normally then disable Norton temporarily. Now try connecting to the router.
