This modem is highly configurable by ISPs so this may not even work for some. If you don’t know what you’re doing – DON’T DO THIS. You may be charged for replacement if you muck it up. AND DON’T SAY YOU HAVEN’T BEEN WARNED. 1). Your source IP *must* be in the 192.168.1.x subnet. Statically set a PC to something like 192.168.1.5 (not .1, that’s the modem). 2). Telnet to 192.168.1.1 with a password of “mspgzyx”. My version is stuck in BRIDGE mode, regardless the setting. Other ISP versions (and possibly other EL/Covad versions for that matter) may vary widely from this.
