Reconnecting dsl modem

My mac was connected to the internet via a dsl modem, which was connected to a wireless router. I wanted to connect the wireless router to another computer, but when I disconnected it and hooked the modem back up to the computer I can no longer connect to the internet. The LAN light is not on, but it was on when the router was connected to the router. Do I have to somehow reconfigure the computer to detect the modem connection rather than the router connection?

Hi Katie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The problem is the Modem, they only remember the last device connected & will not talk to another one.
Disconnect the computer from it, completely power down the Modem for 5 minutes, power up the Modem, wait 2 minutes, connect the computer, wait a bit.

Apple Airport Extreme Base Station for PPPoE, DHCP and NAT with ActionTec DSL modem

I just spent several hours trying to track down proper instructions for setting up my Apple AEBS to do the PPPoE, DHCP and NAT while connected to an ActionTec M1000 (no wireless module). It turns out my initial set ups on both devices were correct, but that the order for rebooting and reconnecting the two devices is critical. All of the threads I found on this forum and on many others suggested this was not possible, but it is. What I don't yet know is whether it is the best method for running my home network DSL connection to my ISP (CenturyLink).
The instructions I found that worked come courtesy of Brandon Konkle's blog and are both simple and clear: http://brandon.konkle.us/post/19637529637/centurylink-actiontec-q1000-airport-ex treme-bridge
The proper settings for the ActionTec DSL Modem can be found under Advanced Setup/IP Adressing/WAN IP Address
Click RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging then click on Apply.
(see also http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems/m1000/pdf/M1000_BRIDGE.pdf )
To reduce time, do this BEFORE you reset your AEBS then set the AEBS so that you don't have to wait for the AEBS to reboot.
In contrast to what Brandon described for the Q1000 modem, my AEBS never reconnected to the modem (he describes his as getting an IP from his ISP, then dropping it then getting another over and over - mine never got an IP). Once you have reset both devices as described, the critical steps I have not found described elsewhere were:
1. Disconnect the power from both the modem and the Airport Extreme.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two devices
3. Restore power to the 2 devices and allow them to fully reboot. For the ActionTec M1000, this is indicated when the lights stop blinking. (Note that the Internet light will NOT be lit in this instance since the modem is acting only as a bridge. You will NOT have an Internet connection until the AEBS is reconnected.) The AEBS will be blinking yellow.
4. Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the devices (make sure on the M1000 that you are using the connector with the circle icon over it, not the arrow icon).
Within about 60 seconds, the AEBS light went to steady green and the connection to the Internet was restored.
Now I have to see if this is a more stable configuration than the flaky one I had before while using the AEBS as a bridge and the M1000 to do everything.
Does anyone think or know if it will make a difference?

No one can accurately predict in advance what the actual results might be. I've tried both ways with different products and cannot say that one method is better than the other. What works is best.
In theory, it is preferable to have the modem provide the PPPoE connection service since it is the device connected directly to the Internet.
In practice, results vary depending on the service provider, products used, phase of the moon, alignment of the planets, etc.

Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
I have internet access
The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
This is not a wireing issue.
When I try to connect I get this message:
"The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

Thanks for your help
I made no changes to the mini or the server.
The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

DSL Modem will not give me an IP address

I keep getting the amber flashing light when I am connected to my DSL modem. Airport Utility says that I am not getting a Valid IP address from my modem. My Linksys wireless router works fine, I even tried connected my Linksys travel router to my DSL modem and it worked fine. I can't see any obvious ip conflics either. I have read almost every post in this forum and tried everthing with no luck.
I have figured out a work around, if I plug my AE(n) into one of my ethernet ports on my Linksys router it immediatly gets a valid ip and the light turns green and I am conneced to the internet.
I really don't want to be running both routers and wireless networks and would rather plug the AE(n) directly into my DSL modem.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
MBP C2D 2.33 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 3gb ram, 160gb HD

I have the same problem, but don't have the benefit of a router workaround.
Two separate flavors of the problem...
1. I have tried manually setting the IP address, and adding subnet/router addresses as well as DNS server addresses. Copied them all from my original AE to the new one. Interestingly the new AE status light will turn green when IP address is configured manually, but can't get to the internet despite the color of the light. When I try to launch Safari or Firefox, it just times out, never getting to the homepage.
2. Went back and configured with DHCP (as I have on the old AE for over a year.) When it restarts, the new AE just sits and stares at me with its blinking amber light. Tried again and ran level 7 debug logging and there's no indication of what went wrong. Just that frustrating blinking amber light and the error message that my base station has an incorrect IP address.
In either case, I can unplug the new AE, reconnect the old and I'm immediately back in business.
Have tried the above after shutting down, unplugging, starting from scratch with every possible permutation I could think of. Still no dice.
Ideas/help??

Macbook pro to DSL-Modem via Ethernet

I need help getting on Interneet using Ethernet cable to the Speedstream-4200 DSL modem.
Usually I use the Airport-Extreme which then goes ethernet to the Speedstream DSL Modem.
However, I was trying to trace some major DSL slowdowns and want to try connecting directly to the DSL modem ... I tried various 'assistants', tried u things but never get the Macbook Pro to see the modem ... usually I can type the address of the modem in the url window and connect to it also ... and I can't via ethernet.
I have set the PPPoe data the same as I see it in the Airport setup
username and password ... what else?

Since you have switched the device connected to the DSL modem, you need to perform a power recycle so that the modem "forgets" the old one...and don't forget to do the same when reconnecting the modem to the AEBS.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Losing conection between wrt110 and DSL modem

I've had the wrt110 for about a week and everything has worked flawlessly, until now. I use the wrt110 to connect one laptop and one wii, wirelessly to the internet via a dsl modem. the problem I have is that every time I close the laptop, I lose my internet connection. I'm still connected to the wrt110, but cannot connect to the internet. also the internet light is still lit on the modem, so I assume that the modem is still recognizing an internet connection. the only way that I can get reconnected to the internet is to 1. disconnect the wrt110 from the modem 2. reset the modem 3. reset the wrt110 4. reconnect the wrt110 to the modem. then I can connect to the internet just fine until I close the laptop, then the problem starts over. please help

I think it might be the problem with the routers firmware, have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your router, If not then Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Once you configure all the settings on your router, below are some wireless settings for your router and i think this might work perfectly fine.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...

DSL modem no longer recognized by computer

I am on dial-up right now, because I can no longer connect to the internet with my Verizon DSL ever since Windows Vista failed to update a driver a couple of weeks ago, during regular Windows Updates. I have done extensive troubleshooting and all the tests boil down to something being wrong with the modem. The modem was working just fine, but now Windows does not recognize the device because it cannot update the drivers. It suggested going to the manufacturer's website. I found an update on the Verizon website, but the computer still does not recognize the modem.
I have a Westell 2110 DSL modem. I downloaded the upgrade from Verizon's website: B90-210015WebLoad_VER_01_00_35
The computer says I am connected to the internet via Verizon, but I have limited connectivity to the local area connection. Therefore, my computer cannot connect to the internet.
In summary, my computer no longer interfaces with my dsl modem, and yet has failed to update new drivers. Is this an example of Windows Vista not working with old hardware? Is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to buy a new modem? (expensive)
And would it happen with a new modem? I can't use the installation CD that came with the modem because it does not work with Windows Vista.
Please help! I don't want to waste money doing something that doesn't work or won't last.
Thank you

My DSL modem was doing similar problems and I couldn't figure out why, but one day I had a friend come over with his computer and it worked just fine on his computer. I still haven't found out the cause why my computer that is running vista is not working just that its not vista his computer has vista to. Have you tried another computer? Im no expert in this, but when my computer went out I was downloading the new Verizon Security Suite so I could keep the virus protection they offered. Im not certain that this was my problem but I do think my problem could be the same problem as you.

I had a failure of a dsl modem which inturn destroyed my ethernet port of non isight imac G5. In attempt to solve the problem I did a clean install of leopard 10.5.4. I am unable to upate to 10.6,.7 or .8 without freezing system network preferences

Dsl modem failure caused malfunction of ethernet port. In attempt to solve problem I did a clean instillation of Leopard 10.5.4 and then update to 10.5.5 with access to internet through apple usb to ethernet adapter. If I attempt to update software to 10.5.6, .7 or .8 it freezes my network system preferences and computer will no longer shut down. The network connection assistant also no longer sees a connection to the internet throught the usb/ethernet adapter. I have checked they systerm Tech tool deluxe which shows no problems and also used hard drive utility on instillation disk which found no problems. Permissions were also checked as well and no problems noted. Any thoughts as I really like my imac G5.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem. It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem. If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
Or am I completely on the wrong track.

Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585 v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge? Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

A query about Time Capsule, Ethernet, and DSL modems...

When I originally set up my modem, I used the network assistant and it seemed to "auto-connect", where the assistant tells you that your ISP "may allow you" etc. This was done with the ethernet cable as Modem to Macbook Pro. Then when I purchased a TC, I simply connected the ethernet cable to the TC and let Airport Utility set up a wireless network.
All was fine, until I was trying to ensure my security was half-decent. I changed a few settings in the TC, and then spent an afternoon trying to get my MBP to "see" the wireless network. I got that managed as well.
What's confusing me is this, and I hope someone can help me and explain it like I'm a 5-year-old.
1. In speaking with the ISP tech support, they seemed pretty sure I had to enter specific DCHP, DNS, etc. values in their fields, yet with the network assistant, it seemed to do this not only on its own, but with different values (numbers) then the one tech support told me to use, including an assigned "public" 192 IP address.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
Additional information: I only use my MBP and iPod Touch, and the wireless network is only for my use. No guests whatsoever. I do have a usb printer connected to the TC. The modem has a wireless "WLAN" feature which I have turned off since I have the TC. For my email accounts, I have the correct ports entered, as far as I can tell and as far as I've been told by those providers. I occasionally use Acquisition (not sure how safe it is security wise), and I'm often online playing Call of Duty 4 (wirelessly). I think that all I can think of that's important.
I really appreciate everyone's comments and guidance.

Whichever connection is toward the top of the list in System Preferences-> Network preference pane is the one which will be used.
5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled".

WPA2 with a long non-dictionary password is the best wireless security.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
If your ISP uses PPPoE for Internet connections, the device connecting directly to the DSL modem should be configured to use PPPoE.
3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
Yes

Airport Extreme and AT&T DSL Modem Settings?

I have given up! Switched from Time Warner CAble Modem Internet connection with my AEBS network after 3 years without problems. Moved and had to switch and get AT&T DSL High Speed Internet using their Modem (WESTELL REV: S, ADSL2+ ROUTER). Ever since self-installing this "system", I have been totally unable to use my wireless network to connect to the Internet, as wired and configured like the TWC connection! THE ONLY WAY TO GET ON THE INTERNET IS:
1)     TO TURN OFF AIRPORT (FROM MENU AT TOP OF SCREEN).
2)     CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE DIRECTLY INTO THE MACBOOK PRO 17" (MBP) ETHERNET PORT AND THE OTHER END DIRECTLY
        TO THE AT&T DSL MODEM (ITS ONLY ETHERNET PORT).
3)     The Internet then works fine.
I have thoroughly messed-up BOTH my MBP's Network settings and my AEBS' manual settings -- to the point I have no capability to remember the "correct" settings for the MBP Network Settings nor the settings for the AEBS!!!
In looking into the communication settings for the DSL MODEM (using Safari and its IP address -- 192.168.1.254 -- to access and look at them), I recorded them after activating the service online with AT&T and they are these settings:
Downstream Rate:               3008 Kbps
Upstream Rate:                    512 Kbps
Internet IP Address:              75.47.152.126
Internet Gateway Address: 151.164.186.1
DNS Servers:                        68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
                                               68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net
Mode:                                   PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)
Local Network
Modem IP Address:              192.168.1.254
Ethernet Status:                    Connected
Maybe you can tell, but I'm not sure if this modem is using PPPOe or DCHP OR NAT OR BOTH OR WHAT, but the "PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)" suggests it has its PPPOe settings internal with my Member ID so this modem can and does connect to the Internet -- BECAUSE WHEN CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MY MBP's ETHERNET PORT AND DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM's ETHERNET PORT, THE MBP IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (but I cannot utilize my AEBS features also like printing and allowing another notebook pc to wirelessly connect thru the AEBS to the Internet like the TWC method did)!
I know this may seem confusing, but I am desparately depending on your help with exactly what settings I need to make inside the AEBS and to make to the MBP's Network settings for both Airport and Ethernet usable!!!
SO, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME BY PROVIDING ME WITH EITHER (OR BOTH) OF THIS INFORMATION:
1)     COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH AND EVERY FIELD IN THE AEBS MANUAL SETUP AS WELL AS COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH
        AND EVERY FIELD IN THE MBP NETWORK SETTINGS FOR THE AIRPORT PORT AND THE ETHERNET PORT.
2)     SEND ME FULL WEBSITE ADDRESSES AND TOPIC TO GO TO TO FIND OUT ALL OF THESE DATA TO BE ENTERED INTO MY SYSTEM.
I THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!!!!
LARRY W. HAMILTON

The AEBS defaults to 10.0.1.x for internal LAN IP addresses. I'm guessing the Callvantage defaults to 192.168.1.x
You'll have to find out how to access the admin webserver on the call Callvantage, set it to a fixed IP the AEBS would see and enable the Default Host option on the AEBS with the IP address you gave the Callvantage.
Default Host is Applespeak for DMZ.

How can I connect my iPad2 WiFi (no 3G) to my wired DSL modem (not wireless capable)? is there an adapter I can connect to the modem?

Yesterday I ordered an iPad 2 WiFi version (no 3G) and I want to know if it's possible to connect it to my DSL modem that is not wifi/wireless. Is there some sort of wifi adapter I can buy to connect to the modem or do I need to buy a wireless router?
TIA

If you have a desktop that can do "Internet sharing" and wi-fi, you may be able to use that instead of buying a router. I haven't done tihs recently but played with it with my iMac before I bought a wireless router.
But a router is the better option. They're not expensive and recent ones have some decent security. I have a Netgear WGR614 (v10) with a firewall built in making me double firewalled on the desktop (where all the really critical stuff lives like banking info and all) and it has an "access control" option where you not only password your network but specify exactly which devices can connect at all. Something I like because the signal reaches the street outside the house. That's a bit more "reach" than I like. Though, funny thing, my brother (who's iPad is authorized to use my net) did a quick update by pulling into my driveway once while I wasn't even here.
Any wireless can have a surprising reach. I live in a fairly rural area and I pick up on other peoples' wireless all the time. Which, out here, I did not expect.

Upgraded DSL Modem, Now Bonjour Doesn't Work

I upgraded my Qwest DSL Modem from an ActionTec GT-701 to an ActionTec PK5000 and now my Quicksilver G4 is not available via Bonjour (I'm using it as a print server). I switched back to the old router, and it works again, so the problem def. is the new router. I tried to see if the known ports are blocked (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629), but they don't appear to be - I turned off UPnP (Universal Plug N Play) just to be sure it didn't conflict but no joy. Somebody else out there seems to have had similar problems (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/Beware-of-the-ActionTec-P K5000-for-wireless-printing-with-HP/td-p/267515) but I'm not sure if it's a direct match.
I upgraded to make my VOIP smoother, due to the integrated Ethernet switch in the modem. But I'm moving back to the old modem for now, and using an external switch.
Anybody have any feedback on how to configure the new DSL modem correctly so Bonjour will work? I did notice an error in the system log:
"mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.0.1."
Could that be the trouble? I did try to fix the DNS settings on the modem. Again, no success.

Thanks for that.
Probably has an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is something iChat uses, that can not be changed from pushing SIP data to port 5060.
SIP is also used by SIP/VoIP phones which gets around Long Distance charges so many ISPs block it until you pay for the "Extra Service" which a few years ago was open anyway.
There was an International agreement that all SIP apps and equipment would use port 5060-5063. It was supposed to be accessible on a pass-through basis from one Internet Server to another but ISPs seem to have classed end users as a non through connections.
Thomson-Alcatel have had a SIP Binding as they call it since there models could run Version 3 firmware. (You had to telnet into the device to turn it off)
At version 5 firmware they changed it so that it could only be partially turned Off.
Thomson-Alcatel make devices branded for other people including the HOME HUB from BT (Formerly British Telecom) who own 99% of Landline connections in the UK (they Wholesale out both Land lines and Broadband DSL connections).
Various ISPs that supply modems often have them supplied with Branded Firmware on there. It tends to be these Branded versions that cause problems (Although the Thomson-Alcatel issue is below the Web Browser interface level).
This may give clues as to where to look and how your device maybe accessed (telnet).

Hi,
i have read many posts here but did not find any solution. Below is my current situation.
Objective: I want to create a Counter Strike 1.6 Server and for that i have to forward port 27015.
Networking Issues: Im currently using a Shiro (Dsl Modem) which is given by my ISP & i have connected my DSL modem to my Linksys WRT54G (ver 7.2) router. I connect my laptop thorugh wifi to router.
I know basic port forwarding but that does not help me. I need a complete tutorial on this issue coz i dont have much network knowledge.
