Dumb question: is the modem directly connected to computer or attached to a router?
4 thoughts on - Need HELP With Old DSL Modem Setup On CentOS 7
Currently the modem is only attached to my computer. The modem WAS attached to a router in pass thru mode. I did a reset on the modem which should have gotten it back to “normal” modem mode. Now it’s directly connected to my desktop — no router. Once upon a time I could directly access the modem interface through my browser, now I can not.
With your current setup in mind, do you know the modem internal IP? With that, set your computer’s IP to be in the same network, verify the default route, and see if you can reach out to the modem.
Personally I would have the router between the two, but that is changing the problem instead of helping you fix yours.
See inline…
I did this with a new network profile and activated it, but no good. I need some info/tools on examining my “network” I think.
Actually the router WAS between the modem and my desktop until I took things apart and the router Was not part of the equation. I wanted to verify the setup I had with JUST the modem, but I am at a loss on how to get CentOS7 to access a “local” url on the same local network without getting the “no network” business.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Regards, Kay

Some considerations:
I assume this is an Ethernet one and not USB one, right?
Which IP are you trying to access?
What is the computer IP and netmask?
Did you tried to connect the MODEM directly to computer and set the IP
to DHCP? Then look the IP you got and the gateway ( ip address show |
grep -i “inet\ ” **OR** ifconfig |grep -i “inet\ ” ) and the default gateway ( ip route show | grep -i default )
The “usual” would be you try to access the MODEM in your gateway address, but may be other.

The maker and model of MODEM would be great
Good luck
Best!
