Answer 1

The issue is the Addressing. Your ISP would never assign 82.2.179.206 / 22 as your local machine address. For one thing that subnet mask allows 1022 unique host addresses and you only need one. Worse yet, the subnet allows for 16384 different subnets each with 1022 hosts. They would never issue a subnet like this to an end user even if they actually owned a block this big. Further, the DHCP server is not even in the address space listed so it's highly unlikely that is the case either. Finally, most ISP's have their own DNS servers and the one listed here is also not in the same address space indicating that it is not the ISP's DNS server either, assuming that the 82.2 179.x is correct. Anyway the bottom line is that it's obviously all messed up. You need to contact your ISP and determine first if they are handing out DHCP addressing. If they are (and most do) then ask for the correct addressing information. They will give you the network, gateway and DNS but not your actual address since it will be assigned dynamically.



After you have the information that you need, reset the router to factory default and then set it up to receive DHCP on the PUBLIC interface. Then set up the internal PRIVATE interface to hand out DHCP in a PRIVATE network address such as 192.168.2.x / 29 (192.168.2.1 255.255.255.248). This internal network along with this subnet mask gives you five addresses to work with on the internal PRIVATE network. You will assign 192.168.2.1 / 29 to the routers internal interface. The router will give out 192.168.2.2 /29 thru 192.168.2.6 / 29. This is generally sufficient for the average home network and it adds a bit of security by limiting the total number of machines that can cannect to your network at any given time. You also place the gateway on the internal interface so that the packets know the route out of the local network.



Then set up your PCs to receive DHCP and you should be good to go.

Answer 2

Your machine is not connecting via the router dhcp, it is connecting direct to the internet. So you can NOT talk to the router home page. These are public addresses and not router allocated. If you have set the machine to no routing (bridge operation) then you must factory reset it. Otherwise you have some other connection you are using.

Answer 3

disconnect yourself from the modem and reassign yourself a static ip address such as 192.168.2.2, so you will be at the same network of the router. you must be at the same network of the router to configure it.
