Re: [newbie] No 192_168_1_1 yet

[SnapafunFrank]

UPDATE: By stopping my fiddling with things and entering only what was 
absolutely required, I succeeded and was able to access my ADSL gateway 
and am now sending this through that connection. Lesson: Try the 
absolute defaults first and leave the options till later.

Thanks for all the responses. Tip: set the start IP to 192.168.1.101 if 
you have apache installed.

Now for some downloading fun.

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.
