Does anyone know of a command, presumably that I would run from the linux box that I can use to find out the IP address of the modem that I browse to, to configure it?
That would be "ifconfig", no?
No. ifconfig reports the external IP address of the modem. Basically, the modem is just repeating all IP traffic that comes in from the outside world to it's local segment, which is a straight connection to the linux box. The one big exception to this is the adsl modem also acts as a DHCP server, and updates the linux box's IP address every minute or so with the modems external IP address. The adsl modem will not accept connections going to its webpage when the packets have the destination of it's external IP, only it's internal IP. It _was_ 10.1.1.1, but I've changed it. I just don't remember what I changed it to... -- Cameron
