You can access the router's configurations using a web browser and accessing http://192.168.1.1. The default password is admin (no username).

By default the l`inksys router assigns IP addressed from 192.168.1.0 network starting from 100, i.e. first client get 192.168.1.100 second gets 101, etc.

Also the router has some filtering capabilities which allows/disallows access to the internal network.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I just got the same router and its great.

Eugene, also note, that you *should* be able to set up NAT via the HTML interface that Santosh referenced.

I have not personnally used the Linksys version, but any decent router should be able to handle such a task.
