| reply to Bink Re: [Windows] Access bridged modem configuration behind/in front
Bink:
As I mentioned, I can access the modem ip config pages when it is in bridged mode if I connect to it directly with the computer (setting the computer ip subnet to include the modem ip address). But can't do it with the Linksys in between.
So it's not generally an issue getting to the modem, it's getting the Linksys to route it to the modem.
Is there some reason you think the lInksys can't do this? The link I included indicated it could. I'm not familiar with DD-WRT replacement firmware.

Yes, I'm familiar with that thread. It's very good, but has problems which I've already tested and encountered
1. Doesn't work for single port modems
2. Generates self-flooding of network from modem back up to router, blocking all download activity for about 60-90 seconds, every five minutes or so.
3. One or more of the methods needs another small switch between the router and the modem, requiring more equipment.
4. Doesn't solve the static ip addressing problem I'm trying to solve here.
Thanks, though.
