Why don't you repost and include the router model in the subject. That way
maybe someone who has the router might know.
I'll keep looking, but I can't think of anything else. Have you let someone
else try it? You don't need to be connect to the internet to reach the
setup page.
The only other things I could think of were, you did check to see if you had
tcp/ip installed, which must be true if you can ping it. What response
times were you getting with the pings?
Secondly, if your computer does both hardwire and wireless, perhaps
disabling the wireless adapter might help. If that doesn't work, maybe
something is wrong with your built in Ethernet card so you might try using
just the wireless. Make sure you put the SSID of the router in the
appropriate spot.
