I just acquired an older BOSS unit and was having the same problem not
being able to connect to the web interface with the IP address
192.168.2.1.

Many forum guests assume the IP is incorrect, but this is the right IP
address for the BOSS under factory settings. I had internet access
through the router and could connect to the shared network folder, just
no access to the management interface.

After struggling to connect for weeks, I emailed IOGear support to see
if they had any insight. After 2 days, I received an email stating that
I needed Internet Explorer 5 or newer, or I could try the Opera browser.

Well I have WinXP on my computer, so I am not going to downgrade to
IE5..so I installed the latest Opera browser. Sadly, it did not work.
Then I searched for older Opera versions and tried installing Opera
v6.06. I figured by using an older one, it might be more similar to IE
v5.

Sure enough, it works!

So the folks at IOGear should not say IE5 "or newer..." they should say
that it only works on older browsers like IE5 or Opera v6.

Hope that helps someone else out there, I was thinking about tossing
mine til I figured that out.
