Hey everyone,

I hope someone can offer a suggestion on this non-Linux-specific networking
question.

I posted recently about putting my Vonage VoIP box inside my home network. I
decided to give the Motorola ATA a static IP so I could do port forwarding
if necessary from my IPCop firewall. Using the Motorola's Web built-in Web
interface I set the ATA's IP address to 192.168.1.75. Unfortunately, I set
the netmask to 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 which is how I've
configured the rest of my home network (192.168.1.0/24).

I can no longer access the ATA's Web server and change the config. There is
no external "reset to factory defaults" button. You have to access the web
page to reset the unit. There's a "PC" port on the back of the unit that can
be used to interface with the ATA. Under normal circumstances, the ATA will
do DHCP/NAT and give out 192.168.102.100 as the first IP address.

I've tried setting a static IP on my Powerbook with a 255.255.0.0 netmask
and plugging it into the PC port. Nothing I've tried has allowed me to
access the ATA's Web page. At this point, I'm beginning to think that I'm
going to have to exchange this ATA for a new one just so I can get it
working again!

Anyone have any ideas?

-Tim
