    After installing windows one care I've been unable to access my routers configurations page through the web browser.  I'm sure it has something to do with the firewall, but I'm unable to figure out just what it is.  I have two computers in my one care circle.  One system has windows XP professional and the other has windows Vista.  the system with windows XP pro is the computer that I'm using as the hub. If anyone can give me some suggestion in how to configure one care so I can access my router I would really appreciate it.

    You should no be prevented from accessing your router configuration using your browser and the router's IP address with OneCare installed. If, however, your router configuration is being done from a program, you may need to allow it in the firewall. To confirm this, open OneCare, click on change settings and temporarily disable the firewall and see if you can access the router.

    What is the make and model of your router? Can you access the configuration from either PC?
