Cannot connect to router

[littlegreenyoda]

Hi,

My router gateway address is 192.168.1.254 and i can access it via my windows pc by keying in the ip address in IE/Firefox.

But when i try to do the same on my macbookpro, i cant connect.

Please kindly advise.

Thank you!

Can you ping it?

In Mac OS X, how can I check to see if a computer is on the network?

What browser(s) and what version(s) of it/them are you using to connect to the router?

What connection have you set up - wired or wireless - and has using the opposite connection helped?

Have you tried a wired connection then? Or have you tried it with Firefox? Or have you tried it with Chrome? Or have you tried it with Opera? Or have you tried it with Safari 5?

Copy and paste the address that doesn't work, and post it here.

URL auto-completion lead lead to things like the following:
http://www.192.168.1.254/
http://www.192.168.1.254.com/

Neither of these will work. You need it exactly like so:
http://192.168.1.254/
https://192.168.1.254/

Also, post the exact error message that appears in Safari (copy and paste it).

And other than being unable to connect to the router's web-server, are you able to access the internet using Safari?
