In my previous situation (before I got the WL500g router), I used Winroute as a software router. At that time, when I wanted to config my modem (Speedtouch thing), I just had to type the adress (10.0.0.138) in my browser.
But now it doesn't work that way anymore. In my browser I get the message: page cannot be found. When I try to ping I get a time out.
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I connect to the internet throug a VPN connection (that's how I'm supposed to do it according to my ISP).
Does anyone know what I got to do now to config my modem?

since the modem is connected to the wan port it isn't in the "normal" network. in pppoe mode you can choose pppoe relay enabled, that should help. dunno if this works for your config

I am using the PPTP protocol. But it's strange that I could get there with my software router...

why should it be strange?

What is a software router different from a hardware router?
When I used the software router I could ping my modem, and now with the hardware router I can't anymore. But the Ip's and the subnetmaks are the same...

Does anyone have a clue? I've enabled the ping from WAN function, but that didn't help. It's like the router is blocking access to my modem.

Run
route -n
via the Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp and post the output. Also run
ifconfig
and post output two.
The problem is probably in routing. Your probably need to add a static route to the 192.168.1.0 net in your modem config - so it will know how to contact your pc.

I have got the speedtouch thingy also. I set the WL500g just with DHCP in stead of PPPoE or PPTP. Since the speedtouch contains an NAT and provides an IP address for you (via DHCPd). You will get a local address like 10.0.0.150.

@oleg: thnx for the reply, I'll try it when I can and then post the results.

@bramfm: do you have the original speedtouch or one with the customized firmware? I am not sure that my modem is able to do DHCP... My modem is from before 1-11-2002...

It is a speedtouch 510 with original software.

I'm sorry, n00b as I am, I don't know how to run your command. I get the screen (http://my.router/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp) you mention but nothing happens when I type 'route -n' in the screen. When I type Enter nothing appears in the screen.

@bramfm: my modem is a speedtouch home, an older version of yours. Without the hack, it doesn't support DHCP.

push the REFRESH button instead of pressing enter.

enter won't apply the command.. refresh will

After ifconfig this is what I get for what I think is my modem:

eth1

Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:A6:86:8D:46
inet addr:10.0.0.150 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

With route -n I didn't get any output.

route -n should work, please try again. Also, I don't understand who is terminating PPTP traffic - is it modem or WL-500g? Have you specified static IP address 10.0.0.150 for WL-500g?

WAN Connection Type: PPTP
WAN Connection Speed: Auto negotiation

WAN IP Setting
IP Address: 10.0.0.150
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.138

Sorry route -n doesn't work. Is info above what you want to know?

Ok, now I see. Connect your modem to your PC, open the config page (I assume it has something), and try adding static route to
192.168.1.0 network with netmask 255.255.255.0 via 10.0.0.150. After that you should be able to access modem from your internal lan.

I think I may be having sort of the same problem.

My situation:
I have my network up and running. I have made my settings in to connecting my adsl. I als got a alcatel speedtouch home modem.

My connecting settings:
I use PPTP protocol
IP 10.0.0.150
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.0.0.138
DNS auto

The WAN settings that I receive back are:
IP the correct IP that my ISP gives me (external ip)
Subnet 0.0.0.0
Gateway the correct gateway of my ISP
DNS the correct DNS servers of my ISP

So my router does make the connection to the internet as it does receive the external data. But I still cannot go online. The problem is that the subnet should be 255.0.0.0 instead of 0.0.0.0

That's the only different thing in my old router which does work.

Anyone got a clue how to go online for me?

Why should the subnet of the WAN be 255.0.0.0 ? I'd expect a subnet of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 (can't think straight atm), because traffic to all IPs except your own internet IP should be routed to the internet gateway.

I have a similar set up (speedtouch home, same IPs for router and modem) and it works fine for me. Initially the router didn't get the proper DNS settings though (I could address systems on the internet by IP just fine, but was unable to resolve any DNS), but after manually adding them it worked fine.

I can't check the exact settings atm (not at home)

Well, I expect 255.0.0.0 because my old router has the same setting when I view the WAN status.

Everything else is exactly the same, but only the subnet is different. And because I can't get online I think my subnet is false.

the DNS I receive is the same as my old router received, so that should work fine.

you can fill it in as static ip eventually, should work ok too

Ok, I got the router up and running and everything is working.

When I retried yesterday somehow my internet was working with exactly the same settings. When I woke up and wanted online this morning my router totally crashed. The DHCP was functioning as I received an ip, but I couldn't even ping my router, nor access the webinterface.

I already had found out how to get the router in the restore mode. Just unplug the power, hold the restore button and replug the power. Then you can upload a new firmware. After trying a couple of different versions I was able to acces the router again. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware available on this forum: wl500g-1.7.5.6-2.1.trx

I hope it is still working next morning and forever after that. Then I'll be really happy.

Also my compliments on this forum dedicated to the asus wifi series. I learned a lot here and still am learning about the capabilities of my new toy :)
