[ILUG] ADSL Modem

[Kevin Chen]

Hi all,

 Recently I met a problem about Eirecom ADSL modem. Hope somebody can
help me to figrue it out.

The Device list:

 1 Laptop with Wireless card.

 1 DLink wireless router (DHCP disabled).

 1 Eirecom ADSL Modem (Netopia), also working as DHCP, GATAWAY and
only has 1 Eth port.

when I connected ADSL(Netopia) TO  DLINK using a network cable. and
then connected to DLink router wirelessly with  the Laptop. (so far I
haven't connect

ADSL(Netopia) To the phone port yet) I  do able to get a IP address
from ADSL(Netopia)

However I can't ping or telnet to ADSL Modem or DLink router, only
after I connect ADSL(Netopia) to the phone port.


I wonder could anyone help me out why this happended?

Regard,

K.C
