The Really Short Version

For users who don't need step by step directions, and whose routers are already communicating properly with hyperterminal.

This does NOT work for users whose routers are not able to boot properly. If your router won't boot properly, go back and read the long version.

Add ALL 3 of these lines if you want your Cisco to stay up for more than a couple of hours at a time.

At cbos#, type

set web disable <press enter>

(reply is) WEB is disabled

At cbos#, type

set web port 8080 <press enter>

(...or to some other port of your choosing greater than 1024 and not equal to 80. If you don't know what you're doing here, use 8080.)

(reply is) You must use "write" then reboot for changes to take effect.

At cbos#, type

set web remote 10.10.10.10 <press enter>

NOTE: Changing your "web remote" setting to 10.10.10.10 will disable your NAT (Network Address Translator) access to your router, meaning you won't be able to Telnet onto it anymore. You could use 10.0.0.1, but that will mean that only your router can telnet onto itself. You can also change to 10.0.0.2 or 10.0.0.3 etc. Check Cisco's page for full understanding of what this command does. For my needs, 10.10.10.10 does the trick, and it appears that without "set web remote (something)", you'll get reinfected. So you can either wait for a final recommendation from Cisco or Qwest, or just slap one of these settings in there and go! If you always use Hyperterminal when changing settings on your router, 10.10.10.10 will be OK.

(reply is) Web restricted to 10.10.10.10
