Hello Jim,


In my case it timed out and the manual states that this modem does not
have any IP address to access it :-(

I think the standard default is http://192.168.0.1/

Times out as well :-(

There is a Barricade router in between but since you also have one of
these and if your modem IP address works then I guess my modem really
doesn't have an address. Does that make it homeless?

I misread, http://192.168.0.1/ is the Barricade Router IP address.

You can read YOUR IP address in the System Status section of the
Barricade Router "page".


Mine has a different IP address. However, the IP address in the system
status is just the one my ISP assigned for a given session. I am on
dynamic IP so it'll change frequently. But that's not the modem's address.

But you have an ethernet connection between your router and modem, so
I would think it has an IP address as well -> the assigned IP address
from your provider. But then, it only passes on packets, so it doesn't
do you any good ;) It may have diagnostics, but perhaps not accessible
through a tcp/ip connection and a common protocol.

I don't think PPPoE uses IP...

IP isn't the only network service than can be provided over ethernet
or over PPP for that matter.

Often (but not always) a device that combines the modem and router
is used. Using a separate modem can reduce hardware cost in extreme
situations where cheap modem/routers get "gummed up" and need to be
reset.

We had a modem-router at work that would stop accepting inbound
connections at random times, we switched it to modem only mode
("passthrough") and used a linux box to do the ppp and router
function. Reliability has improved.
