    Connecting New Fax/Phone to computer
    I just bought a fax/phone/printer/scanner and it said to hook it up to my router, which I did, and now it's telling me I have to configure by pulling up the web page by IP address or Host name. I tried this also and it goes to Google. It told me to put the address in my web browser, which I did, and the web page menu will appear. It didn't, but stayed on my home page. How do I get this up so I can configure my email settings?

    What address did you type into the browser to access your router? It should be something like 192.168.1.1 (or maybe 192.168.1.0). When you enter this, you will more than likely be greeted with a log-in prompt for your router Username and Password. If you have not changed this since installing the router, it will be the default value which you will have to find in your router manual. In case you can't find it, try "admin", "admin".

    However, you really should not have to access any of your router settings in order to install your new all-in-one device. You should only have to hook-up the phone line to the "line-in" port on your printer, plus the network cable between the router and the LAN port on your printer.

    If this doesn't help, post again what you have done and I will check back.
