I have a similar setup, but going the other way. I have a linksys router and an XP machine that connects to a Win 2000 box. I have an administrator logon on the 2000 box and log on from the XP box using it. You also have to have something shared, or you could map to

\\192.168.1.100\$c

To get the entire drive C. If you logon as administrator, you don't have to share it.

Like Borislav said, that IP you mentioned might be the router. But, I don't think it is. I think to get the routers menu, you actually go to a browser and enter "localhost" or something like that. The book tells you exactly. The logon is either Admin or administrator and the password is blank.
