Downloaded the file and tried accessing the modem as described, but
apparently my modem does think that its dumb since when I try to browse
to 192.168.1.1 I don't get any reply.
I belive it does think that that is its address, since it does answear
the arp request for that address (at list I belive the modem is the one
answearing that since I made sure it wasn't connected at the time and
its the only thing on that interface on non of my machines has that
address).
