Help with installation

I’m having a rough time trying to install Asterisk. I can’t connect to the GUI web site. I’ve loaded asteriskNOW and on the first reboot after the software loads, it’s supposed to give me a web address for the web GUI but nothing appears. Also, exactly WHAT is supposed to appear in the NETWORK configuration. The default is LOCALHOST. Do I leave that as it is. The first DSN it picks up is 192.168.1.1 which is the gateway router for my netword. Nothing is entered in the seconday or tertiary DSN. Do I lkeave that the way it is?
Also, how does the cabling run from the Asterisk box to the ISP router, the phone router (Broadvoice), etc. Is there a DIAGRAM POSTED ANYWHERE?
i HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP A NEWBE.

Its been awhile since Ihave looked at AsteriskNow, but from what I remember the machine boots and then you get a little menu on the screen which displays its IP address. Really you should not be setting the nic card to use DHCP, I would set the nic in the install to a static IP and see if that works.

There is a separate forum for AsteriskNow!
