Hi! Sounds like a DHCP problem. Can you connect one computer directly through the 'modem'? (It's not a modem, it's an Ethernet bridge or an ADSL transducer.) Did Verizon supply the router? If so, call them!

I have 2 G4s, a Linksys BEFSR41 DSL wired router and a Westell 6100 DSL modem from Verizon. I have followed all the procedure on Verizon's help page ie. changing to bridge mode, Private Lan off etc. as well as seeking advice from various forums. All to no avail. All lights are on, the router tries to connect but eventually gives an error message " connection failed". I have been at this for weeks (really!) and am truly at my wit's end. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Les _______________________________________________
