Accessing Modem Config Through Wireless Router

I've got a Buffalo Airstation WBR-G54 wireless router between my PC and
my Scientific Atlanta cable modem, and I can't access the modem's
configuration page because it is naturally at a private address
192.168.100.1 which will not be routed by default. This doesn't clash
with the wireless router's config page at 192.168.11.1, so I wondered
if it was possible to route the modem's config page through the
wireless router.

Can anybody with a Buffalo Airstation give me a clue here? Can it be
done? For example, I've looked at the Buffalo Airstation's packet
filter page, and I've entered a rule to accept IP address 192.168.100.1
but that doesn't work.

Actually this shouldn't be a problem. I have always been able to
access my CM's config page, which is exactly the same, through any of
the routers I've tried (USR, 3Com, SMC, Actiontec).

It should "just work". Don't set up any special rules, just go into
your browser and type in http://192.168.100.1. Do check that you
haven't configured either IE or the router to do anything special for
this addy, it isn't needed.
