I need some help here. I seem to have gotten myself in way over my head with an ADSL install using a SpeedTouch modem.
Now, the details (and this is a bit long winded sorry).
The modem is a Speed Touch 510, has a heap of onboard stuff that is turned off and its basically just configured as a bridge.
The PC has 2 NICS that have been given static IP's as follows,
eth0 (connected to the modem) 150.101.124.xxx, net mask 255.255.255.252 eth1 (connected to lan) 172.21.103.yyy, net mask 255.255.255.0 The gateway has been given as 150.101.214.xxz
When I configure the nics as above, I can't connect to the modem's web page because the lan is on a different subnet to the modem (I think) but I can get to it from a different pc on the lan (this worries me a bit).
Peter, your net mask looks unusual, but I can't tell whether it would work using 150.101.124.xxx and xxz. In binary 252 is 11111100, [I think]. Hence xxx and xxz in binary must both conform to ppppppqq, where p is 1 or 0, but the same for both, and q is 1 or 0, but not necessarily the same for both. Also [I'm more familiar with routers], what does the modem think its IP and netmask are? And does it have a route back to the different pc, via the subject pc, but not have a clue where your pc is? And given that it works from a window$ box, are you running on the same subnet in both cases? HTH Vince Littler
