Linksys Wireless Router Setup Problem

[Emily Dryden <dryden@verizon.net>]

I purchased a new Linksys Wireless Router, BEFW11S4 to replace an 
earlier model which was damaged by a lightning caused power surge.  The 
ethernet connections to the router work perfectly but the web based 
setup program to configure the wireless connections wont download.  The 
instructions say enter http://192.168.1.1 in the browser but when I do 
so it either times out or say connecton refused.  I used this address to 
configure the old router with no difficulty.

Is it possible that debian upgrades have added protections that prevent 
reaching this site?  The system I am using is testing with a 2.4.22 
kernel and Mozilla 1.6-5.
