I also have a Billion 7800N and can access the web interface just fine.
I use a mixture of Debian stable and Ubuntu 11.04 and it works without
problem.
The 7800N has 5 ethernet ports on the back, one of which is set up to be
a cable WAN port (with the other four being ports on the gigabit
switch). Perhaps you've connected your computer to that WAN port by
mistake?
