Re: SpeedStream 5260
With ipconfig/all I can get the ip address of the modem. It is an outside address that resolves to the the isp. The idea is to convert the modem to translate the packets from phone line to ethernet and hand off to the router wan port.
I have tried the telnet...must be to old to have the interface as it was recieved from SBC about 8 years ago.
So....its off to the net for a new ASDL modem/router.
Thanks for the reply. |

| ipconfig/all gives you the address of your ethernet adapter, not the modem. It's your public IP because that's where it winds up - on the device behind the bridge - your ethernet adapter.
You have the bridge you need to work with your router - you just don't know what to do with it.
Good luck. |

said by connor2709tx  :Before I go out and buy a new modem/router I thought I would post my efforts to get into the 5260 SpeedStream modem in order to bridge it so that I can use a Linksys WRT54G for wireless connectivity in the home. There is nothing to access in a true 5260 Bridge Modem. It is already a Bridged Device and ready to work with your Linksys.
said by connor2709tx :I wan to unbridge the modem so that I can use it just as a modem. The post » DSL FAQ » Getting into the SpeedStream 5260 tells how to unbridge the modem. My problem is that I cannot get into the modem using the above post methods. If I understand the post correctly, when I unbridge the modem I can use the router to gain wi-fi. Hoook up would be destop-router-modem. You can't access it as you don't have the Modem that the FAQ is talking about. You are reading a FAQ copied in error from this »The Unofficial SpeedStream 5260 ---> 5660 FAQ »How do I telnet into my modem? entry in the »The Unofficial SpeedStream 5260 ---> 5660 FAQ which is only for 5260 Models with a Part Number of 060-5660-00X. It does not apply to any other 5260 with different Part Numbers.

You already have a Bridge Modem, you don't need to replace it unless you want to waste more time (and money) chasing a non-issue. All you need is to hook up the Linksys Router to the Speedstream DSL Modem and then hook up your PC to the Linksys Router.
The Linksys has to be setup like the PC that was using the connection before the Linksys was added. If the PC was DHCP then the Linksys WAN setting/Connection Type needs to be setup for DHCP. If the PC was setup with PPPoE then the Linksys needs to be setup for a Connection Type with PPPoE.
