I have a used cisco pix and want to setup for my home network.
I have a high speed internet modem connected to netgear Wireless router.
Fom Wireless router I conneced one of its port to pix port saying 0.

I tried https://192.168.1.1/startup.html but I did not get any answer. I am not able to connect to router.

How should I go ahead?

Any help is appreciated.

Things are more complicated.

You will need a console cable and a serial port (or a USB serial port emulator) on your computer to access this box if it has a configuration on it and you don't know the IP address.

Thanks.
I do have USB serial port emulator. How can I move ahead?

It should have came with a blue cable that you can plug into the console port on the PIX. The other end goes to a serial port on your pc. If you have a USB to serial adapter, that should work too.Then you need to hyperterminal into it. The PIX should have come with documentation on how to configure it, if not try this: http://tech-soup.com/learningcenter/hardware/page4784.cfm
