It's a Eicon Diva 2430. I found this on it: http://www.eicon.com/pubs/diva_2430/index.htm with lots of links for explanations and help. It says the modem has the IP 192.168.1.1 and that it can be configured by pointing a web browser at that address. Can't wait to try that tonight. > It would be interesting to see how your DSL setup is, well, set up. > It's interesting that it worked the first time. I find it weird that the IP I got the first time, when it worked, was outside the block of 192.168.x.x and /etc/resolv.conf was properly filled out. Now I get IP 192.168.1.2 inside the block, and no proper /etc/resolv.conf file (it contains only the word "search"). > I have never seen a network device act as a DHCP "cache", so I don't > think that's the problem :) > > I'll reserve further comment until you find out from arp what the MAC > address of the device handing out addresses is, but it seems > suspicious that you got an address even when the phone line was > unplugged (you did a release/renew. right?) Right. The docs say there's a reset button in the side which I can try. Thanks! Peter
