I have Linksys router/gateway, and there is an admin program running in it
that you can access using a web browser (there is also a small web server
inside the router). Try to use address <http://192.168.1.1> and see if you
can connect. Obviously, I'm not sure it will work since this address works
with the Linksys router, but it's worth a try.
So, actually, from what I understand, here is how it works:
Your router connects to your cable modem then requests a DHCP address from
your cable provider. Then, the router acts itself as a DHCP server.
Obviously, you need to configure every device on your network to use the IP
address of your router, or it won't work. That's why you need to find out
how you can administer your router. Like I said, many routers come
pre-configure at address 192.168.1.1, so you might want to check that this
is what the Newt is configured for. And your G4 Mac too.
Let me know what you find out.
-Laurent.
