Hi,
I am in Bangalore using BSNL 256K Home500 plan. I had outright bought the ADSL modem from BSNL (Huwaei MT880). I recently got from US a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wi-Fi Router, so that I can simultaneously use my Office Laptop (over Wi-Fi) and home Desktop (over wired LAN). I router came with a setup CD which first "reads" Modem parameters by running in the desktop connected to the modem and then asks for the router to be connected in between desktop and modem and tries to configure the router. It is supposed to work but at the end of the wizard, it just says couldn't connect to the Internet and just exits. Does someone has experince in setting this combination?
After that I went in to the settings page of router at http://192.168.1.1 and saw that router's IP (192.168.1.1) is same as Modem's IP and so changed router's IP to 192.168.1.10, enabled router's DHCP server (DHCP on modem is OFF), setup PC to be DHCP client. Even after that, I am just able to reach till the router from the PC and not able to ping the modem at all.
Any suggestions???
