I beleive it is on the computer itself. The modem has an IP address, but
this is _internal_ to your network only, and is a 10. number anyway... It is
used only _from_ your computer to administer the modem... Check back a week
or so ago for an exchange between myself and Simon Hackett that contained
the answer to your question...
