My DSL-300T ADSL modem is acting rather strangely. It has its DHCP

straight from the ISP.
IPCONFIG /ALL shows the above, but it also shows that the DHCP server
is at 192.168.1.1 (the configured management address of the modem).
How can this be? It seems to be causing some confusion, as DNS
requests are being sent to 192.168.1.1 and getting an ICMP bounce for
destination unreachable.
Something to do with uPNP, maybe? Is it on?

(replying to your post, because Demon news swerver is doing strange things...)
The DSL300T is not a NAT'ing router (nor is it a router of any other sort) This would be perfectly normal behaviour for a non-routing device..
(Although the mind boggles as to why it even offers the option of entering IP addresses, or even offering anything but DHCP passthrough, unless, of course, it is a DHCP _client_ and expects your network to allocate it an IP address so that you can program it)
All that said, if it's anything like the old DSL-504 or 624T, it's DHCP server probably hangs the device dead.
