I have EArthlink DSL and I am trying to install a router to connect my
2 home computers. Obviously Earthlink says they don't support this,
but I know it can be done. By the way the router is Linksys G. It
seems i can hook up the hardware and make the proper router
connections. The problem seems to be Earthlink. I cannot access the
http://172.16.0.254/config page to configure the Earthlink settings.
For some reason it just doesn't come up. I chatted with Earthlink
without success.

Can anyone help?

I have been using an Alcatel dsl modem with a Linksys BEFW11S4 for a
couple of years now. What type dsl modem do you have?

Maybe you could contact me via email and not the group.

Why not let the whole Group benefit? Is this a dating
service?

No not dating! I just thought it would be of limited interest.

As long as what you write is the truth and has to do with
xDSL and its use, it could be of help to someone somewhere
sometime. Remember that it gets archived by Google, and
there are a lot more readers than you think.
