DSL - A modem is a modem is a modem, right?
In the config I am working with I have a UHP DSL Modem (Earthlink supplied) connected to a 11b/g wireless router.
Repeatedly (and often) the modem enters this 'diagnostic' phase where is blocks internet access and displays Earthlink's "Fix and/or Retry" page.
- The modem is currently in DHCP/NAT/PPPoE Mode, I'd like to disable this and have the Router do the PPPoE dialing.
- The modem is supplying DHCP to the Router. Seems it would be better to hard code some static IPs in there between the Modem and the Router, right?
- re: the Subject Line, I have another, extra, DSL modem at hand and I am thinking to swap it out to divide and conquer the 'problem'. Any problem(s) with swapping DSL modems like lego blocks?
