ADSL MODEM > BSFR41 Router?
Hello, I have just got a D-link DSL-300T ADSL MODEM that I want to plug in to my Linksys BSFR41 Router.
I can see from the manual that I need to plug into the uplink port using a straight through cable.
However are there any configuration issues I need to know about?
Also I can access the config pages with the same IP number on both (192.168.1.1) however not when both connected together like this.
I only see the Linksys one, which I can change to 192.168.1.10 etc and still access but then I cannot see the Dlink one?
What should I do to enable me to access both pages?
DHCP: do I have them both set to be a DHCP server?
Although I have nothing to connect the modem to yet (no ADSL) I at least want to install & get them both talking to the PC.
(I know I need to change the admin usernames/passwords etc).
Cheers.

I need to do something very much like this quite soon now so keep us informed as to how you get on.
I suspect that the router thinks that all 192.168 addresses are on the local network and won't forward packets in this range to the WAN port. Can you not connect straight to the modem, set it up and then reconnect the router? Or do you need to access the modem later on?
Only one appliance should be set up as a DHCP server - not sure which would be best though.

Well, I could setup each one individually, but I'd prefer to just be able to plug them in & setup each while still connected, who knows what I may need to change later on.
