Neat trick.  I will copy and save that one.

Although my browsers don't work externally they did find
http://192.168.1.1 which gave me a setup page.  I didn't change anything
but here is the output:

LAN 
IP Address 192.168.1.1 
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 
DHCP Server Enabled Firewall Enabled   

INFORMATION 
System Time 2008/08/05 21:28:28 
System Boot Up Time 00000 days 05:17:37 
Connected Clients 3 
Runtime Code Version V2.00.0042 
Boot Code Version V2.00.32 
LAN MAC Address 00-40-F4-91-17-8C 
WAN MAC Address 00-40-F4-91-17-8D 

I assume the LAN MAC Address is the address that faces inward towards my
Local Area Network of 3 computers and the WAN MAC Address is what is
given to the wider world.  In my case, the wider world would be
rogers.com, which in turn have their own DHCP server and DNS.  Do I have
that correct?

It should work for me.  Rogers.com went through a spot a year or so ago
when their system kept losing the address and I, and others had to
unplug in order to reset.  You are right it took over a minute of no
power to reset the router and another couple of minutes for the flashing
lights on the cable modem to settle down.  But unplugging then always
got things going again.  They seemed to this time, but alas, to no
effect on my current problem.

I am impressed that my little $10.95 AOpen router has its own program
and setup.  I had assumed that it was all cached somewhere in my
machines memory somehow.
