Netgear remote management still enabled

[jamieoliver22]

Hi all,

I have noticed that if I type in my IP address in my browser (HTTP/80), it loads up my router's managment page. I have checked my settings and it says that remote management is not enabled and it shows that it usually goes through port 8080 anyway. So whats going on?

How can I stop this page from showing when anyone enters my IP address? I do have a static IP set up to allow with port forwarding, does this make any difference? (the static IP goes to 192.168.0.2 whereas the settings page is on 192.168.0.1)

EDIT: I think it may just be because of the static address that is set-up, so in which case it will only work on me anyway.. Shouldn't it?

Thanks,
Jamie.

EDIT: I found out that it was my static IP that was doing it afterall. Nothing to worry about I hope..
