As I just told everyone, this is not a router, it is a modem with built in switch.
Ajem!.. there's no such thing :rolleyes: it must be a modem/router with a bridge configuration, check it by looking at the IP address it gives you

There's my IP 85.228.182.128.
I assume that's a public IP address, hence, your modem is configured as a bridge. And don't believe anything your ISP tells you, they commonly lie to you since they don't want you to know the real capabilities of their equipments :rolleyes:
 
Everywhere i read about the modem it says that it is a modem with built in switch.

Try to google search for XAVi 5222 and look for yourself.

And if it were a router I would have to configurated it when I got it, right?

Not really, I worked at an ISP and all our equipments were configured before we install them to our final users. And I can't find anything about that device (ok let's not call it a router or a modem for a while :p ) besides a page that seems like an ISP's in swedish? :confused: ... in anycase, just ask your ISP :)
 
As i live far out in the woods of sweden I of course did not get any kind of help but a paper with instructions when I got my modem therefor i can claim that i have done all the configurations that is made on my computer. The only thing i had to do when the modem arrivied was to plug it in and change my internet configurations.

I have called then and they say that it is not a router.
 
Ok, I haven't heard of a modem acting as a switch but not a router, but that is possible :) Reading the online text available (there is not much available...) just says the modem can connect four computers to the internet, and that is possible only if the modem also is a router.

I am sorry, but with the little data I found of XAVi I can not help you :( Yes, I do speak, read and write Swedish fluently, so that is not a problem, just the little (practically non-existent) info available online (or at least I was not able to find anything useful).

That doesn't say much. I have a router too and my manual only said how I could plug it in and how to configure my own PC to get the connection working (just like yours). Nothing about how I could actually configurate the router itself with portforwarding and all that, since this was not necessary for normal internet usage. Some ISP only help you to the level to get your connection working.
In my case I was lucky portforward.com had a guide handy.
 
I find it quite amusing that apparently there cannot be estahblished any consensus regarding the question if it is a modem or a router. :D

What is the definition of a router and is that relevant?

semlan, give me your bank account number and I send some money for a good old modem (a one-"port" modem that is :rofl: ) All I ask from you is that you finally get yourself XP. How can one survive with some 6 years old OS :confused:

It is a modem for sure. What else it is, is hard to say because there is basically no proper info available about the device online (or if there is, it is well hidden info). Why that is so I can not guess. Perhaps there is a danger customers might actully be able to use their connection with maximal efficiency if proper info was released?

Indeed, that's what most of ISP are afraid of :p ... I think that's not the original name of that device, some other company sold it and this ppl just change the name and such... :rolleyes:

Prehaps this brings some light in our quest to find out what kind of moden it is: XAVi website

It is the XAVi 5222r-p3.

Looks like it's a router too.

# Support Networking protocols such as PPP, NAT, Routing, DHCP server/relay/client

# Configuration and management by Web-browser through the Ethernet interface and remotely through ADSL interface.

Now find out how to configure it ;)

Daniel, now you are offending me. :p

I got windows ME, and i can assure you, it is far more stable then windows XP. With Windows XP, Semlan would have resolved this already: all you have to do in windows XP is, link the modem to the pc, shut down the PC, wait 10 mins, and then bingo. It auto-configures everything. But apart from that and some minor things, ME is far better then XP.

The only reason i dont use windows 98, is that i gotta install all the goddamn hardware. Too much work! :rofl:

That little fella it's teh shizness :eek: it can make VoIP, ADSL2+ :eek: and yes Gamlasemlan.. that's a router ;)
 
Gamlasemlan said:
Then why do they tell me at the support that it is not a router?
Refer to what Jarkko and I told you before, ISPs may lie to you :rolleyes:
Gamlasemlan said:
And if it is a router, how do i forward the ports.
You gotta find out the IP address of it, try contact that company, XAVi. Try 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.1..
