Selective URL Address Routing

I have a shared-access net in place with the internet being accessed by a
wireless adapter to a local WIFI service. With my router reset, I can
access it's setup page by entering the page address in IE. But, I can't
select multiple parameters because each selection calls for an "apply" and
after the first "apply", I can no longer access the setup page because the
router becomes installed and entering the address now takes me out on the
internet.

Is there any way to address the router setup page after the router is
installed - someway to tell IE to send the address thru the LAN connection
rather than the WIFI one?

TIA.

Strange. The router's own IP should be a private one, e.g. 10.x.x.x. or
192.168.x.x and this should not get routed to the Internet, as the router
should 'know' these ranges are internal addresses.

One workaround might be to pull the ADSL line and see if you can then
configure the router. If so, look to see why this is happening, there might
have been static routes set or the like, or perhaps security has been set to
bar config-page access from your own IP range.

i don't see why you want your own router there.
one would use his wireless adaptor to connect to the wifi place's
router. You wouldn't be configuring their router. i'm sure you don't
mean that.

what do you mean?

if you have your own router/modem, and you don't wnat it to access the
internet. You just want it for its built in switch, then that's
another matter.

I have seen a router/modem by zyxel which didn't let me do much at the
router configuration page when it wasn't connected to the telephone
line. I wasn't even using it as a bridge. I just wanted to configure
it.

You also have the issue of your 'local' router doing its DHCP.. And it
trying to make itself the default gateway instead of the wifi one.

they should have different ips so you should be able to access
either. Easiest thing would be to use a hub or a switch. Not a router/
switch/modem/dhcp device, which you have while trying to just use the
switch. You may be able to pull it off though.

do you mean send an internet address through your local router? I
doubt you mean that. You do http://ip whichever ip you do is the one
it should go to. Try arp -a too to see what comps it can see. Though
sometimes i find entries only appear once I http to them.
You may want to make sure your local router's ip doesn't clash with
your wifi places's local router ip.
