Why can't I connect to router via ethernet?

[quote deckeda]BL, just to confirm, you powered on the Belkin, waited until fully up, then hit its IP it with the Mac?

Try a different web browser also. Sounds stupid I know but has been known to work.
Yes, and tried. Thanks-- I don't have a lot of experience with hard-wired networking and ethernet settings, so no suggestion is too basic.
