Hi Sue,

I'm afraid I can't help :( However, I did want to point out something that
Belkin did. This was posted to the spam cop newsgroup:

Belkin responds from their website (http://www.belkin.com):

"However, since this has become a source of concern to our users, and it
is Belkin policy to address the concerns of our users quickly, Belkin has
decided to remove this function from the routers. Each router's firmware
that incorporates parental control as an option will be changed.

Please expect more detailed information to follow early next week. Thank
you."

I don't know if this applies to the product you bought, but I thought I
would share it-kind of like sharing a flu or cold, huh?

HTH
