Should I be able to get to my modem?

I thought you had nailed it then But no unfortunately doesn't do anything with that address

too bad.
I am not sure that this will give a useful result, but please try from the commandline in windows

Code: Select all

tracert 8.8.8.8

Then try to check at least number two on the list, if that could be the modem. I do not think so, but it is worth a try.
I have seen a problem with connecting to a PPPoA modem before, through a professional router, but I do not remember how I got it to work.

First address is 192.168.1.1 then from then on it's my ISP and into the world

Boy you guys have been busy this morning. I did not read all these posts but there is a simple way to do.

If you will configure your modem with a static IP and configure it to be a DHCP server then Gargoyle will do the right thing and you will be able to access your modem at the static IP.

Most modems seem to allow you to be in bridge mode and provide a DHCP service although a few have not had this capability. If your unlucky and yours does not have this function you can manually get this to work by editing the file /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/modemaccess.sh. Instructions contained there.

What ever method you choose I think you need to post screen shots of your routers config

Its usually a very basic to setup

I think the problem is you're treating this like a adsl router set to bridge the connection which effectively has a network point and this which doesn't i.e tracert never shows it hitting it.

I'm going to look at pbix's suggestion though i'm pretty sure the modem doesn't have dhcp (it's an 834 set in modem mode) and i'm not sure I even understand why a modem would have one as they don't route traffic so wouldn't usually be expected to hand out ip addresses - but that may just be my understanding.

Just bigger, so it is possible to read

If that is the router used, check 6-5 in the manual

I use a little known feature of 834's which turns them from a router to a modem, zero config on the modem as you would expect

Screenies tomorrow but this is the feature I use which netgear don't document afaik

ok

I think that the problem is that you are having a PPPoE connection to the Internet, from the router, so it is sending all requests directly to the Internet, instead of to the modem.
