I am trying to troubleshoot a router/DSL problem and hope someone can help.
Some background. I have a desktop running XP hard wired to a Lynxsys WRT54G router and a laptop running XP connected via wireless. I have ATT DSL. The DSL modem is a Wesatell but don't see a model number listed on it. The modem is connected to the router. Everything has been working OK for a while. I started having problems with 2 days ago when someone tried to connect to my wireless with a different laptop computer and could not access the internet. I then tried on my destop and could not get connected. I had been running the modem in "bridge?" mode and running router in PPOE? mode.
I then conacted ATT support and eventually determined that the DSL modem was working OK, but changed the modem to PPOE? mode in the process. I can connect to the internet when a computer is directly connected to the modem but not when it is connected via the router. I have done a bit of different settings with the DSL in both Bidged? and PPOE? mode and tried different corresponding settings on the router but nothing has worked.
I have read various problems about ipconfig problems between modem and router which seems to sound like the issue I have, but none of the solutions that I read about have worked for me.
I appear to still have network file and print sharing connectivity between my two computers but can't seem to get the router modem to connect.
