This worked in Windows but I think the Nameserver number of the 
modem/router does not change by the OS of the computer.
So it seems the number Glenn suggested is right. 192.168.0.1

I also tried 'properties' in Windows on the connection/ethernetcard.
Results:
Etherport 4
Physical Address 00:e4:4c:40:e8:96
IP Address Assigment: DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.1.65

Assign public IP address of a connection  did return: 192.168.0.1 >> 
private IP address, not usable on the internet
So it seems that the address assigned to the machine could be 
192.168.1.65.  I tried this and 192.168.1.100 but no difference
Question: Is it possible that there is no IP address of the router since 
router and modem are build together?
Question: The dial in section is no longer used but there is the 
username and password. The username at the @ level changed. Where to 
mention it?
Question: I still have to dial in... that means to start the connection. 
How to do this? Connecting another machine to the internet via the same 
modem, but (different port on the router) did not function.
Wheter the ADSL connection is activated or not by the other computer... 
Arachne is and keeps: Asking domain server for pop.hetnet.nl or any 
other server.
Remark: Using windows on both machines... they see each other and 
networking is possible.
             Using one machine with DOS the other machine is not seen 
on the router, with or without Arachne.
