Whats my gateway address ?

[baccilus]

I think i have changed the default for the Dataone modem HUAWEI smartex MT880. It's supposed to be 192.168.1.1. This is even given in the manual. But i can't get to the modem settings via this. My ifconfig output is :

you havent setup ur local lancard ip.set using network-admin gui or edit as sudo /etc/network/interfaces and add

 # The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

then restart n/w:

/etc/init.d/networking  force-reload

and try ping 192.168.1.1

* Reconfiguring network interfaces... /etc/network/interfaces:26: duplicate interface
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:26: duplicate interface
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[fail]

First post ur /etc/network/interfaces
OR
do one thing backup ur /etc/network/interfaces.

~$sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces  /etc/network/interfaces.bk

Now issue this command by run dialog:
press ALT+F2 will launch run dialog prompt.
Type:

gksudo  gedit /etc/network/interfaces

then press run;will ask for ur passwd.and gedit editor will be launched.
clean the page and add:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

#aDSL setup
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

then restart networking:

~$sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload

then try ping
ps:
I suppose ur using Ubuntu or Debian
