Brought myself a Linksys WAG54G Gateway/Router and having got the info I
need from my ISP decided to give it a go.
Basically I get " Page not available - or some such " when within
Mozilla I go for the 192.168.1.1 address.
Here's what I've done to date.
Using MCC>Hardware>Hardware>Ethernetcard>RTL-8139>Run config tool>ADSL
Connection ..... I'll stop there because I think something is missing at
about this point. [ The dialogue's do take me through to the "
Congratulation " screen, by the way. ]
The things MCC offers me are all ADSL stuff that I thought I would need
to configure from within the ADSL unit itself - so when did I configure
the Ethernet card itself? I remember trying to once before but MCC went
on about being sure it was connected to something first?
So right now, I am unable to access the ADSL modem - I have the ADSL
manual all printed out and ready to 'Rock'n'Roll' , so any suggestions
on how to get there would be appreciated.
Running Mandrake 10.0 Official, Linux-2.6.3-7, - er... Shorewall is
running at present?
I have tried with option addresses and without, deleted all connections
and did things over - got no idea what it is I'm missing.

My Windows option is WinME and though I have it working OK, it also
failed on this same point.
The ADLS configuration should have a note that it is not for use when
you are using a router. It is not what you need in this case. What you
have to do is configure a normal DHCP Ethernet connection. The router
will then set the network address, gateway, default route, and DNS for
you. Once you have that working, you should be able to see the WEB
interface of the router. One thing you should double check is that the
address realy is 192.168.1.1 for the router. The best place is the
router's manual, but you can also check by running "/sbin/route -n" in a
terminal window. The last line should have the gateway address as
something other then 0.0.0.0. This should be the Linksys router.
