The device closed remote access function, you are forbidden now.

If you get this error when you try to log into a (siemens gigaset se587) router's web admin interface, check that you are trying to log in to the LAN IP of the router and not the public IP:

e.g. 192.168.1.1/

notice there is no port number (for example :200) or any additional url string or url parameters after the backslash following the ip address.

You can verify your router's ip address by checking for the default gateway. From the command prompt (in Vista this is: Start Menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt), type in ipconfig /all. Part of the resulting 'Windows IP Configuration' listing should show what your Default Gateway is.
