Hi Andrei,
Thanks for the answer. Yes, this modem has an internal address of
192.168.1.1 I also notice that I seem to always get the ip 192.168.1.70
which doesn't seem to change. My partner, connected to the same modem
always gets 192.168.1.62 . Since I am very inexperienced using DHCP
connections I have no idea if this is normal or not or if I can consider
this my static ip. I think Telecom Italia does its best to hide the
manufacturer of the modem. When I use a web interface for configuring the
modem I find the following information:
Name: Alice Gate 2 plus Wi-Fi
Hardware: L1
Software: AGA_3.2.4
Smartcard: Active (yes, there is a smart card you have to insert into the
modem.

Yeah, I'd love to know this information myself. I don't believe Telecom
Italia is in the modem building business but I can't find any trace of a
manufacturer or model number on the modem itself. What passes for
documentation is no help either. Frankly I'm stumped.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
