    Losing access to LAN when using DSL

    Hey all,


    I have set WAN to 'bridged' mode for my D-Link DSL-G604T so that individual devices can connect directly to the internet.

    When I connect my computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the internet via DSL, I lose access to my LAN - e.g I can't login to my modem at 10.1.1.1.

    This is frustrating because I never had this problem in Windows. Is there a way in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where I can make it so I still have access to my LAN?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You need to update your routing tables. This is one reason why having your DSL connection to a router on your network is a better option than connecting it directly to the computer.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
