I set it as LAN connection. It was asking me to configure IP and subnet mask.
I entered 10.0.0.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 http://10.0.0.2 works. But unfortunately the browser brings my local host instead of the admin webpage from the router. I dont know why. By setting an Automatic configuration, it says £Connection refused for 10.0.0.2." But it does not give the same error message for some dummy IP addresses. I also went to console and entered /sbin/dhclient one of the error messages was sit0 not configured.
