1/ The DSL-502T has a web interface at 10.1.1.1 and a 'system' interface at 10.1.1.1 using Putty; the Linksys 2000 has a web interface at 192.168.1.1 but no system interface at 192.168.1.1; why is that ?
Different firmware installed on the different systems; it sounds like the Linksys doesn't have ssh support. The different firmware will have different default IP address ranges (which should be configurable).
2/ I take it that 10.1.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 are the local IP addresses ; other wise I would be accessing everyone else's routers ?...the mist clears very slowly !
Yes, these are private address ranges that are not routable on the Internet.
3/ Would the NBN Network Terminating Device which appears to be a fibre-optic router m/n 1-240G-R ;which has an Ethernet connection to the Linksys 2000 have a local IP address ?; talking to the cable tech's who installed the NTD it would seem to have an external IP address; any way to determine this ?
I don't have a NBN connection myself, so I can't verify the details, however I believe the NBN appears as an (long) Ethernet connection all the way to your ISP and as such your terminator has no IP address. I also believe that the terminator is entirely owned by NBN and as such NBN are fully responsible for its configuration. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
