I have DSL and a SmartChoice DSL 500. Im running XP on a laptop. I have internet access. However, I can’t access the modems configuration utility at 192.168.1.1?

The router is reset to factory settings. Why the hell can’t I access the utility? What do I do? I’m trying to install a wireless router behind it, but it’s dead when I install it. I imagine I need to do something in the config.

Any help is appreciated. If you need more info just post what and I’ll add it really quick. Thanks!

i have an ADSL modem which came from my broadband service provider and i just bought a wireless router today, when i tried to hook it up it says that my ip type is static but in fact i have a dynamic ip address. my service provider wouldn’t provide any help because they said that it is not within their protocol to help install third party routers (its because they sell one) but they said it is possible and its up to me to hire technicians…

when i use my modem only without the wireless router
my bitcomet wont work
my limewire cant connect
i have internet

when i use the modem with the wireless router
it goes to the router’s config menu at first
when i cancel i connect to the internet
i dont have wireless connection, all wired

i dont have a wireless connection

do i need to have an adsl wireless router for my adsl modem? im a total noob at this pls give me any ideas or links to guides.
my modem is prolink hurricane 9200. i just found out that it is a modem/router
the adsl router/modem that my service provider gave me has no wireless capabilities

my router has wireless capabilities

the telephone looking wire is connected to the adsl router/modem, then the ethernet cable that came out of the adsl router/modem is connected to the WAN switch of my wireless router then i have another ethernet cable connected from my pc to the wireless router… i can access internet that way, when i try to connect via wireless i connect by it says LOCAL ONLY i can also only configure my wireless router once, because when i enter the address which is 192.168.1.1 it goes to the ADSL modem router page instead to the config page of my wireless router.
