I have an IOGEAR BOSS (Broadband Office Storage Server) 200GB
Model # GNS1000200 Router/NAS

Since upgrading to Vista I am unable to acess the router in may ways, first
and foremost is the web interface to configure the rought. When I try to pu
it up via IE (also tried Firefox) @ [url]http://192.168.2.1[/url], thats the routers IP.
I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
However if I try to acces my router from an XP pc, while the interface is
still up and I try again with the Vista pc I get some different error,
Something about already being in use by another user.
The "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error page loads
instantly, unlike if I entered a bad domain or IP that it has to search for.
There is no delay from press the enter key and getting that error.
I've been googling my butt off trying to resolve this and the only one
article I found to get around this is to disable the admin password. However
this router does not allow it. The password is required.
Is this an IE7 bug? A vista bug? A combination of Vista and IE7?
Are one point when I clicked the "Diagnose Connection Problems" link I saw
something about a 403 permission denied.... It seems vista just refuses to
open the Login dialog box....
I also have other various issues with this router, for example it have an
FTP built into it and the only way to access the FTP is via IE
[url]ftp://192.168.2.1[/url], I cannot seem to connect from any other normal FTP app
like CuteFTP or SmartFTP though they work for other FTP sites. Just not to my
router.
