Assuming that you have V3, here are the emulation pages:
http://ui.linksys.com/files/BEFSR81/v3/2.50.2/

If you are looking for dhcp addresses:
http://ui.linksys.com/files/BEFSR81/v3/2.50.2/Status_Lan.htm
DHCP leases will be shown by clicking the DHCP Client Table button).

Port settings are:
http://ui.linksys.com/files/BEFSR81/v3/2.50.2/Forwarding.htm

You can use the emulator to go through all of the menus without screwing
up your own router. Lower versions are here:

Regarding the manual... doesn't appear to be written for any particular
OS to me at all. It shows the menu screens, explains what they are & how
to use them. In fact, I find it to be the opposite... a large swath of
'Windows' users won't understand all of the features, capabilities,
settings in that device (IMO).

Thread marked [OT] (Off Topic) as it has nothing to do with Ubuntu, or
linux in general. In the future you might try: 1) linksys
forums/support, 2) DSL Reports, or alt.comp.networking.routers rather
than this mailing list.
