hmm , cause in all the directions i have read it says to convert that # using the calc to get your modems IP??? this might be rather big but i will insert a pic of a screen here. please tell me what you think i need to do if anyone has any idea on how to config my windows lan so i can telnet...

hello all, I am trying to set up a linkstar modem and am having trouble trying to telnet. my ethernet address on back of modem is 00.A0.94.01.3B.7F. when i try to use the windows scientific calc to get the IP out of this it gives me and IP address of 10.1.80.767. this does not sound correct...
