I don't really know much about routers, but I recall reading something
that this would be the correct behaviour for the router.  If you are
using the IP address assigned to the router, it then interprets the
request from the internal LAN to display the setup info.  Have you
tried accessing this IP from a machine not connected to the LAN side
of the router, ie. from the internet?  I would expect the router to
then forward the request onto which ever computer is setup in its
configuration as the web server.

Hope this is of some help

Steve
