Uh, that would be normal if you changed it's IP to a 10.0.0.x and were trying to talk to it from either a 192.168.x.y network or as if it was a 192.168.x.y node. UNROUTABLE.
Router 10.0.0.1, then all clients IP > 10.0.0.1; Though why you would use a class A/8 private network in a house is beyond me. Personally I just use a 192.168. range that is well above the common 0.x or 1.x. Proper way to do things: 1. Setup your account with a pc->modem direct connection & make sure it works. 2. THEN access the modem's config & put it in bridge mode, disable any services it might still have on. 3. Unplug the PC & attach a router WAN port to the modem (linksys, dlink, etc...) 4. Plug PC into the router LAN port in DHCP mode. 5. Browse to the router's IP & login to the setup page. 6. Setup the router in PPOE mode with your username/PW combo. I see no point in DHCP alone since you never know what machine is getting what IP and manual IP's are PITA. Better to have your own DHCP & DNS servers that can reserve an IP for a machine & map it to a name consistently.
