How to connect to DSL modem using PPPoE?

  • 772

I am connecting to the internet through a pppoe connection, but for some reason I can not connect to my modem (it's address is 192.168.1.1).

Before I set my pppoe connection, I could connect.

So, is there a way?

EDIT

The output of ifconfig is :

    Setting up your device as a plain modem removes its ability to provide network addresses to your network, instead it acts only as a modem, passing the internet connection directly to your PC.

    Device mode setting

    Looking at your ifconfig:

    ppp0 inet addr:92.229.x.x P-t-P:213.191.x.x Mask:255.255.255.255

    you can see your internet (external) IP address, and here

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet inet6 addr: fe80::x:x:x:x/64 Scope:Link

    you can see you don't have an internal IP address. Hence you will not be able to connect to any other devices in your network.

    In your modem/router settings you should have the option to set it up as a router so it gives out IP addresses and shares the internet connection between devices. This setup depends on your router, though.

    To reset to factory settings you normally power up the device while holding in the reset button for 30 seconds or so.
