This seems to be similar to the dlink adsl modem I am using (no routing function).
Think of the 192.168.0.0 network as being the network between the modem and the gateway machine. In my case, the 10. (equiv) networks are on the internal side of the gateway. My gateway machine runs dhcp on eth0 (the 192.168.0.0/24 network). When the adsl modem is unlocked, I get a 192.168.0.2 address from the adsl modem. When locked, the 192.168.0.2 is replaced by the ISP allocated address. The default gateway then becomes the *ISP end* (far) of the adsl connection, and is normally set by dhcp on your gateway machine. The modem web server is always reachable via 192.168.0.1, even after the ISP allocated addresses/gateway are set. In my case 1) ISP -> unlocked -> adsl modem -> 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.2 ->gateway -> 192.168.1.x 2) ISP -> x.x.x.x -> adsl modem -> x.x.x.(x-1) -> gateway -> 192.168.1.x | | -> 192.168.0.1 -> Edited route -n for my gateway: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.43.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 x.x.x.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.21 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 the .43 is a wireless network the x.x.x.x is my ISP dhcp allocated IP as set by dhcp running on my gateway. I would steer clear of adding anything else to the 192.168.0.0/24 network as (in my case) things dont always work as expected (with an accidental misconfiguration, I ended up with "wild" packets present on my internal network).
