RE: What are you trying to do?
>> trying to run diagnostics on my modem as layed out in the Siemens PDF manual:
To establish a connection from your computer to the
Router:1. After installing the
Router, start your computer. If your computer is already running, reboot it.
2. Open yourInternet ExplorerorNetscapeNavigator Web browser.
3. In the Addressbar, enter the default router IP address: »speedstreamand press Enter. This
displays the Gateway Administrator Setup window."
Sometimes documentation will incorrectly refer to a modem as a router. To further confuse the issue, some modems are combo modem/routers which only have one output port and no wireless (so really, they can only support a single computer unless you introduce another networking device to split the line), and other modems are combo modem/routers with multiple output ports and wifi capability.
What gets REALLY fun is when you have a combo modem/router linked to a second router... =x
