Thank you Karl so much.  But if you read my posts closely you will see that I can't connect to my router as you did in your first sentence.  I get an error message saying: 
Unable to connect         

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.254.

Once I get past that problem, I wont have a problem.
