Please log in for more thread options I have got a problem accessing the setup pages of my modem from behind my router. My modem is in bridge mode. I could access the setup pages when it was in half bridge ok. Anyway, my setup looks like this: ISP-------Modem--------Router--------------PC ISP---192.168.0.1---192.168.1.1---192.168.1.100 Again the modem is in bridge mode with DHCP turned on. Its a Dlink 302G. The router does the login via PPPoE and has DHCP turned on. Its a Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT v24. I tried setting up a static route with: Target IP Net: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 0.0.0.0 Interface: WAN My modem is plugged into the WAN port. If I plug my modem into my PC directly I can see that the gateway is indeed 192.168.0.1. Why is this not working???? I am not sure that there is much I can do to try and isolate where its failing? Any help or suggestion appreciate. -Al | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options box. The bridging mode simply tries to nullify the "router" componenet (a.k.a. remove Layer 3&4 abilites and run only Layers 1&2). A "straight" modem has no such thing as a bridging mode because it only operates at Layers 1&2 in the first place. My advice is to "forget it". Choose one: 1. Get rid of the bridging mode and run the "modem" with full abilities (modem/router) and get rid of the DLink box. or 2. Get rid of that thing and buy a "straight" modem and use it in combination with the DLink. I recommend #2. -- Phillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

With some corrections, it's basically the only choice. What he should keep is the LINKSYS unit, not the D-link one. Most DSL services are compatible. I've swapped out several over the years. Westell units lasted the longest. Get one of those and plug it into the DSL telephone line. Then plug the WRT54G into the ethernet port on it. That's the most common DSL setup, and what I've used for years. -Bill Kearney | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just switch the DSL modem to bridge mode and let your Linksys or whatever router do the routing. I do know that you have to turn off the Westell DHCP server in bridge mode. Its done all the time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
