I dont know if that modem has natting or dhcp options or not. BUT, there is always a way to log into it.

The easiest way to do this is to buy a router.  You can get one for around $20 and it will be more secure and more reliable than the modem.

Simple to install, Just plug em in and set your machines for DHCP and off you go.

Problem is I am from Brasil, and a router here would cost to me the equivalent of 200$ to you. What I was really expecting of EE is a way to nat through the modem, which I finally gave up google... I thought maybe someone has already done this and would be kind enough to share with me! =D
But Thanks for the attention.

 

by: savonePosted on 2005-08-09 at 03:53:49ID: 14631327

I did some looking around and you should be able to log into the modem with the following info:

Browser IP address: http://192.168.100.1

USER: admin

PASS: w2402

Look around in there and see what your options are.

Thanks Savone!!! I Will try this. And if I can connect to it, I can do the rest. (I HOPE!)

 

by: tarcisPosted on 2005-08-13 at 13:33:33ID: 14668215

Yeah, I was able to open a web page just with some information about the modem, but no option to route it.
There was 2 option SIGNAL and STATUS which when I clicked informed that the access not possible and that I should contact my service provider for info...

21=10 = 31usd
31usd = 100R$
it is still a little expensive but its the only thing to do, since I found out that cable modems cannot be routed...
so thanks for those who spent a little time to help me.. Im spliting points for the trouble... Thanks again...

Best regards from Brasil

I appologize for my Naiveté regarding international finance. I really thought you were converting back to USD in your statement that a cheap linksys would cost ~200, as this is a us website and at that time you didn't specify the currency used.
