My Phone Modem for DSL and my Router is on the same IP Address and it conflicts so I can't set up my Router... This is a real question...

1. It sounds like your modem may be a router/modem. You may need to put it in a 'bridge mode' to allow it to just be a modem. That way, it wouldn't have an IP address.
2. You may need to 'log' into the modem. What you can do is connect your computer directly into the modem. On your computer, go to start, run, type in 'cmd', press enter, and type in 'ipconfig' to see what the default gateway is. Try typing that default gateway number into the address bar of your web browser. It may ask for a username and password, which you may need to get from the manufacturer. Once logged in, you can make the changes to put it in 'bridge mode'. You may need to ask the manufacturer about that as well.

If your DSL modem is only a modem, it should not have an IP. You connect the DSL modem to the uplink or internet port on the router.
The only way you would have a conflict is if your DSL modem is actually a router, in which case you are trying to plug a router into a router. The only way you can change the IP on the second router is to plug a computer into it, then go to the setup screen through Internet Explorer, then turn off DHCP and change the IP of the router.
You would then be basically using the router as a switch - with some routers, you may not be able to do that.

Well, yes you can change the ip address of your router. Your ISP gives you an external address that should not be used for your router. Your router infact is not even a real router, but a nat-router. A nat router just translates your internal address over to your DSL modem. So when you are inside the router config, make sure that you use either a 10.1.10.?, a 172.16.?.? or a 192.168.?.? for your internal address. That way you do not recieve any conflicts. If your router came with a disk, use that as the wizard will automatically set everything up for you.
Good luck.

If your modem is not setup for DHCP, then you need to know what your IP address is. You can usually set the IP address to one above that. It also depends on what your subnet is and if allows additional IP addresses.
Is your phone modem like a router or is it a modem with a phone adapter?

Sounds like your DSL has a router in it. If you can web to the DSL modem, try and disable the router portion of it. You really don't want two routers in the mix.

Routers address can be changed...go to the routers hoome page (generally 192.168.x.x) >> go to LAN >> go to LAN settings. you will see the IP address field & the IP Pool starting & ending addresses. setup the new addresses accordingly.
you can use private IP address 10.0.0.1 for the routers address & IP pool start & end as 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.255
Keep the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Cheers

Read the router manual and then log on to router management page and change the router IP. It's pretty easy...

go to start menu go to to RUN. In the box that pops up, type cmd and hit enter.
In the black box that comes up type: ipconfig /release
hit enter and then type: ipconfig /renew
hit enter and the conflict should be fixed.
