Re: Nokia IP55 ADSL modem/router

It's all web based, and the lack of documentation is widely regarded
as a key reason that virtually no-one's bought one :-)

You should have received a one-page "setup sheet" which contains
the
default IP address of the LAN port. Point your web browser at this,
and you'll get into their integrated setup screens. There's a guided
setup for basic ADSL, which is step 1.

Step 2 is setting up the DHCP server (assuming that you're planning
on using it.)

Nokia IPSO is, to be fair, a fantastic platform for running
Checkpoint - it's performant, and well-hardened. However, it's not
for the faint-hearted, and personally I think that they've screwed up
on the market positioning. If I were Nokia, the only people I'd be
targetting would be those who are rollout out remote sites /
homeworker sites for staff to connect to a Nokia/Checkpoint based
corporate VPN. (Ooh - that'd be me then) :-)
