That's not a website. When you connect to http://192.168.1.1/, you
are connecting to the router itself where you can get status/config
info and configure it for your network. I would never have used the
USB to start with as previously mentioned and wouldn't install any
software that may come with the router.
Here are the Comcast instructions for your router from:
http://linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=92
Comcast (formerly AT&T Broadband Internet)
Browse your Comcast or AT&T Broadband Internet paperwork for the
"Adapter Address" or "MAC Address" and copy it down. If you do not
find it, do the following: On your main computer click "start" then
go to "run" then type into the box "winipcfg" and click "ok". Find
the Ethernet adapter you are using (For example: Linksys 10/100
Ethernet Adapter), then click on "more info" and write down the
number that says "Adapter Address".
After you have the Adapter Address, go to http://192.168.1.1 in your
web browser and find "Wan IP Address". Click on the text to the right
of the Wan IP Address that says "MAC Address". When the box pops up,
type in the MAC address you wrote down earlier and click "OK".
** If you receive "Error Message 421" using Outlook or Outlook Express
(or "Unable to send Message" errors with other email clients) using
a Linksys BEFSR41 Router, follow the link below to resolve the problem.

A couple of other things you may try to recover with:
# Reset Cable/DSL Modem.
If you have exhausted everything and still are having difficulties,
try resetting the cable or DSL modem. You can accomplish this by
turning off the cable or DSL modem for 3 seconds and then power
the modem back on, then restart the computer.
# Reset Cable/DSL Router to factory default.
If you want to start over and set the router to factory default,
put the reset button with a pen or something small enough to go
through the hole for 3 seconds or until the Red Diag Light comes
on, then restart the computer.
