The 168.x.x.x address is a default address for any device unable to
get a true or NAT'd IP address. It sounds like the SpeedStream is not
recognizing DHCP or the DHCP manager is not recognizing your device.
Have you writting to SIEMENS about this and if so just out of
curiousity - what was their answer? I have a similar install that is
going to take place with the SIEMENS equipment here soon so I would
love to know.
