[G4] Router trouble

[Jim Elmore]

 From what little I know . . .
I'd check your firewall settings, or turn off your firewall and see  
if that makes a difference. And unless your ISP tell you so, I don't  
think IPv6 comes into play. Your trying to hook up via Ethernet, so I  
think that should be the only thing showing for that location. In the  
Lynksis page at 192.168.1.1, is the router getting an IP address from  
your modem (may be under Administration>Log>Incoming Log). At least  
that would tell you if your router is getting any traffic.
