I think the point is that we'd like to know how to find those pages of information that ARE available via a browser pointed at an IP, regardless of whether they're coming from the modem or a router. In my case, if I have a "router" I don't know about it, because I have a box on my desk labeled "cable modem" and no visible piece of hardware labeled "router". Since you mention it though, what IS a cable/DSL router and how would one know one had one, which model it was, etc? I can look right at the cable modem and read "SURFboard SB3100" but if I have a router no one has told me that until now. In particular, being able to access these pages would be important if I ever need to call the cable-technicians out to my house again, because they tend to want to look at those pages, and they also have it written in our agreement somewhere that if you use linux, then you are totally on your own and they cannot guarantee they'll help you.

I've this exact same cable modem and I can tell you this: you can't access it thru a browser window by pointing it to an IP. I think you guys are confusing the cable modem with a router. Someone already mentioned this a few days ago (yesterday?). There IS a difference between a cable modem and a cable/DSL router.

This is way off topic, but maybe somebody here knows! Does anyone know
how to access the internal pages of a Toshiba PCX1100U cable modem. My old surfboard modem had a nice interface that I could access by pointing to http://192.168.100.1 or something like that.
I can access mine by http://192.168.1.1 Leave the user name blank and use admin for the password. Thats whats set
up by default.
Hope that helps.
