Re: Accessing DSL Modem's web config from behind NAT router
Thank you for your reply, tschmidt.
Yes it is possible to set my modem's web interface IP statically. I have changed my modem's IP to 192.168.2.1, and also tried setting up a static route on my router to route all traffic for 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.2.1 as the next hop, which should be my modem. Unfortunately my router still seems to be encapsulating everything in a PPPoE frame so that my modem just sends it off and it never gets routed anywhere.
My router is a Netopia 3387WG-ENT, an enterprise grade router, and there are lots of routing functions to play with. There's got to be a way in there to do this, I just wish I could find it. |

| If your router is encapsulating everything PPPoE before sending it off to the gateway, you will never be able to get to the modem. Short of having the ability, in the router, to build a route to the modem, which is different from the route to the Internet gateway, about the only things that you can do would be either shift PPPoE to the modem (which is how I have my connection set up), or install another network adapter in the computer, and connect it to the modem via a switch. For that, you will have to build a route on the computer.

As NormanS  posted if you have a PPPoE connection you are out of luck since router encapsulates everything on the WAN port with PPPoE. Try the other workarounds he mentioned.
This is why I prefer modem/router combo to separate modem and router.
