Yes that is what I was saying but obviously opera is used because if you are
configuring it on the n800 that's your only choice right? That would be why
opera is necessary at least on the N800 and that is why it was stated.
There's no other reason why Opera would be mentioned when above he mentioned
both Firefox and Opera. Maybe the question should then be restated to can
you access the configuration from something outside the local loopback
instead of focusing on using opera or not. If that's the case Opera
wouldn't, nor shouldn't matter. So I answered the question about Opera, why
it was mentioned. In a joking way that would be the reason, would it not?
