Re: [General] BEFSX41 / Siemens 4100 DSL Modem problem and solut
Thanks for the heads-up on the FAQ entries.
Oh, and I tried every iteration of options on both the router and the modem (including 'always attempt to connect'), but hadn't figured out that the DHCP server on the modem always serves out the 192.168.1.64 address... I'll have to give that a shot, since it was kinda nice having the modem do the negotiation.
The only problem is that the FAQ doesn't address the router failing to see the modem on the WAN port, which is essentially what was happening. I could get the modem to connect to SBC, the router would then connect to the modem (I could reach the modem interface from my host computer), but two net hops later and it was suddenly unreachable.
After 16 hours, I was just happy to be back online again with my network. 
I'll give those FAQ entries a shot and see what develops... now that I know how to get back online without a problem it probably won't be such a stressful situation.
I also tried the 1.45.7 firmware, but for some reason the NTP server wasn't working for me, and I like having timestamps on my log entries. I read that the 1.52.9 firmware wasn't too bad, so I updated to that and haven't had any problems to speak of (the original problem was occurring with both the 1.52.9 and the 1.45.7 firmware on the router). |
