Re: Accessing DSL Modem's web config from behind NAT router
Not sure which routers are capable of doing TCP/IP ethernet and PPPoE on their WAN, or if you can even access your modem when in bridge mode (can you when directly connected to modem using PPPoE on the PC?). Getting a modem/router out of bridge mode sometimes requires a hard reset.
I know it may be possible (if your modem responds to its IP in bridge mode) if you had any old PC running Linux as a router and proper routing. It allows setting an ethernet IP on the nic to the modem, while the pppoe connection through that line shows up as separate ppp0 interface.
As mentioned the PPPoE is encapulated, so nothing that listens for TCP/IP on the ethernet is going to interact with the TCP/IP within the PPPoE. |
