Has anyone located the Access Controls - the and content on a 2701 (6.3.9.41-plus.tm)?

They were there under: http://192.168.0.1/xslt?PAGE=B_1_0 on the 2700 series and I believe on the early 2701s ...

The router's default management address is http://192.168.1.254 not 192.168.0.1

My network is in the 172 range and changed it out to what I thought was the default 192 address to post here. That aside ... has anyone found where it resides? It was in the early 2701 firmware as I remember trying it, but not the updated release that has been pushed.

Not a 2Wire user but weren't these part of the 'Enhanced Controls'

Still there on the 2700 ... and with an improved GUI on the first 2701 firmware with sliders for times rather than discreet boxes and two fully flexible sets of barred/allowed sites. In teh latest version they have totally gone from view - but there is a chance they are "hidden" and if the pages numbers are known, accessible to users.

Tripod's page on v6.3.9.41.x firmware ( http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/161.htm ) states that Access controls and content filtering are automatically installed when successfully connected to ISP. and so may be hidden until after successful connection. It may require BT as the ISP as well.

This 2701 is on BT ... and they were there before the firmware upgrade!

Apparently the 2701 has a problem downloading very large files. As part of the cure BT have removed the content filtering facility in the latest firmware.

See this thread on the BT Business forum:-

The version without Parental Controls still fails when the download is over 1GB - so that problem has not been solved!

I have the problem that at several locations the controls give the owners the ability to restrict guest to specific times and content ... Access is provided free but only for key facilities and not to allow a free for all.
