    Server on MSN DSL

    Can it be done? It uses an Arescom Netdsl 800 Modem, and give an IP address of 192.169.1.1.

    It does not show any public IP at all. I was interested in setting up a mail and WWW server.

    That modem must have NAT internally. If there's any way to get into the configuration of the modem, look for "port forwarding". For example, for the website, you'd have to forward all requests on port 80 to your internal address (192.169.1.1). If you can't get into the modem to do that, you're probably knackered.

      Is 192.169.1.1 really a non-public addy? I mean, it seems it, but I thought it was just 192.168.x.x, not 192.169.x.x?

        Yes, sadly 192.168.X.X is private. And no, I can't get into it. I was hoping their was something I was missing, but I guess not.

          Good point Gurm... So byock, was your first post a typo (you said 192.169)?

              Well, the modem has to have an address if it's doing NAT.

              If you can't get the manual for that modem online (I bet you can), but you DO know the IP address of the modem (if it's giving your machine 192.168.1.1 then it's likely on 192.168.1.254) you can try the following:

              telnet 192.168.x.y
              iexplore http://192.168.x.y
              ftp 192.168.x.y

              You HAVE to be able to get into it. I can't believe any manufacturer worth a damn would make a NAT modem/router and not let you configure it.

              Now, you might need a PASSWORD. That's when you try "admin" (no username), "admin/admin", or calling your cable company.

                You can type "arp -a" at a command prompt to see what IP address it's using.

                  There are web pages out there which will tell you what IP address you're connecting from. I just don't know any off the top of my head.

                  As an aside, when we got our ADSL, they gave us a Speedstream something-or-other. Unfortunately, BT had castrated it - the only access to it was a web server which let you input your account and password and take the connection up and down. No telnet, no ftp, no other ports open as I recall. Nothing on the serial port either. No apparent way to reset it or flash it back to normal. Real shame, because they're very nice modems. We replaced it with a Netgear because we couldn't find anywhere that sold Speedstreams.

                    This link will give you your IP, and the IP of any proxy cache you are using. Some IP detection pages get confused and just show the proxy cache.

                    Lots of good info on that modem here, too: http://bespin.org/~merwin/arescom/

                      I thought about posting that link but:

                      he still needs the login/pwd, what if he doesn't want to disable NAT?

                      anyway, a _real_ internet provider would be better...
