Accessing An Adsl Modem In Bridged Mode

[Ratsima]

I have a D-Link DSL-500T modem in bridged mode. The PPPoE connection is handled by a Linksys WRT54G router running the Tomato 1.15 firmware.

Is there any way to access the modem's configuration page from the LAN side of the router?

I know I can simply connect it directly to a computer, but I'm guessing there must be some way to make an entry in the static routing table that would route the modem's IP address to the WAN side of the router. I'm just not clever enough to figure out what it is.

I run my huwei in bridged mode to a 54gl with tomato and the only way I have done it is just a cable connection to my computer - but I find I have no need to access it any way

the only time I did it was to get some screen grabs of the setup for A_traveller

I did quite a bit of searching and asked the question on the linksysinfo tomato forums and then just decided not to worry about it.

This thread explains how to do it. Worked for me:

Access Web Interface of Bridged DSL Modem

The main reason I wanted to do it was to see if I was connecting at the advertised bandwidth and to check the quality of the signal.

SNR Margin 20/20dB

Line Attenuation 28/30dB

Data Rate 3072/512kbps

Not bad, but not great.

thanks for that , I will have a read

I am amusing myself at the moment with an MGB100 NAS unit I bought last year and have not used much - found some new firmware that was suitable ( http://www.macsat.com/macsat/component/opt...wiki/Itemid,66/ ) and am thinking about using it now as a webserver as well as wifi media server

putting the init script and the firewall script worked for me

Glad to help. It was something that was driving me crazy for a long time. I'm glad I finally took the time to suss it out....

I have the same setup. My downstream SNR is 4db

And - worse - this is TOT and where we are that means it won't be fixed. Need to get CAT....
