In my office where I work, all the computers are linked to the server via a 3com router.
Only a couple of the computers in the office are 'allowed' access to the internet because the router has been told to restrict net access to all other computers.
Baisically what happens when some tries to access the internet from one of the undesignated machines a message comes up with " No valid ISP service" and then takes you to a page with an administrator password to enable internet access.

This would not be a problem if we had the original 'administrator' but he has since been fired for nefarious things. We have tried calling him,but he is of course bitter and refuses to help. We cannot find the original documentation either. Is there a default password that can be used to override settings?
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmmm...that doesn't sound like a router password thingy but does sound like firewall authentication. By anymeans call 3com's support number, yeah go get it off the web page, and tell them the serial number off the back of the router. That should get you some level of support so you can atleast get into the device.

That or take the old admin out to dinner...works everytime.
