Can see my modem but not my router???

Hi

I have a kcorp klg 575 router and a linksys modem adsl2mue. running windows xp home.

When I put 192.168.1.1 into my browser I get the modem but not the router, actually sometimes I do get the router and that's my problem I want to get it all the time. I have tried clearing the cache and deleting cookies but nothing seems to work, it seems to be more miss than hit. Even plugging into the router with a cable doesn't work. Although having said all that sometimes for some reason all of the above does work.

I have a desktop pc and there are often 2 laptops in the house plus my xbox which is wired to the router, I need to change some settings to get around the NAT but can't always access the router when I need.

any help greatly appreciated

thanks

Yes I have. The frustrating thing is that sometimes I can get to the router with everything wired up but most often I can't.

 

Well, how do you have the modem configured? with the PPPoE location on the modem or after it? or do you have it in bridge mode?

 

Good questions and ones I am not sure how to answer. I'm in the UK and hook up to BT adsl.
I am ppoa and on the modem there is a bridge setting but I m on the ppoa.

Since posting I have managed to change the ip address of the modem so now I can access them both. I have had to manually assign ip addressess to the pc's that access the network.

I hope that has solved the problem but with it being intermittent its hard to know.

 

Thanks for that. I think I kind of follow although I thought it was just a modem.
specs below...
# network address translation (NAT)
# 1 x RJ11 WAN port for ADSL connections
# 1 x 10/100Base-T auto MDI-MDIX RJ45 switched LAN port
# 1 x USB LAN Port
# Integrated DHCP server
# VPN pass through for IPSec, PPTP and L2TP
# Web-based configuration.

Is it the dhcp server and below, that will enable me to do as you suggested. Do I make the linksys modem the bridge or the kcorp router the bridge, there is a bridge setting on the modem but I can't seem to find one on the router and whne I tried bridge mode on the modem it didn't work.

thanks

The latter is probably most accurate, although over the last few days everything seems much more stable so I might just sit on what I have got for the moment, if it it aint broke and all.

if I do need to reconfigure things I will for sure jump back on the boards.
