Had to think a bit, so am re-writing this post.
My ADSL requires my mac address to connect, as most do. Routers have mac addresses as well. So when you connect directly to the modem from your machine, you are using the nics address instead of the routers.
Therefore you should not be able to connect.
Question though. You mention you are changing the modem address. How do you change a modem address or are you referring to your router?
