    I've been happily connected to the Dublin west portion of the IrishWAN for the past four or five months and this week got NTL's cable BB installed. Trouble is now I'm surfing on NTL I can't see any of the WAN pages.
    NTL is set up to auto detect configuration so to my mind that means no proxy, no option to bypass proxy for addresses in the range x.x.x.x
    Is there any (preferrably easy) way to set this up so that WAN sites (typically 10.x.x.x) are accessed through my Buffalo wireless USB client and websites, filesharing, e-mail etc. goes through the cable modem or am I looking at needing a hardware router? If a router is needed then what exactly do I need and how much should I be looking to pay?
    Ta v.much

    You'll probably need to setup a route in the dos prompt


    What range are IBB giving to your machine ?
    as this will be your default route.

    If it is not 10.something

    then in a dos prompt
    route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.x.y.z
    x.y.z being the address of the Buffalo


    if that does not work then it will disappear on the next boot
    if it works then to make it permenent

    route -P add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.x.y.z
