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
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?

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...

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.Originally posted by Oleg

@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:Originally posted by Oleg

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 Speed: Auto negotiation

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