Hopefully, Lothar will get lucky, and it will be a simple plug'n'play setup. I just wanted to prepare him, as the first time I ran into the MAC address issue, I spent no less than two hours staring at the Linksys router trying to figure out why in blazes it couldn't get an address... ;-) You think that was confusing? I wound up in one case with a Seimens DSL modem that had to be configured via http://192.168.0.1 and a Netgear router that required the same address to set up (default). About the same condition with cascaded routers, but all I had was wireless (left the cables home) so it was a Chinese fire drill. LOL!! Re-configure the router to a non-default address, reconnect, reconfigure the router to bridge configuration, set up the DSL modem, then get the router re-configured. All while a helpful brother-in-law leaning over my shoulder "helping". Then we got to fight the PPOE/PPOA nonsense. Made for a fun afternoon of that vacation trip! Isn't it great when you go on vacation to get *away* from these things, and the relatives always say, "oh, while you're here, I just have something quick for you to check out...?" :-D I'm dealing with a situation now at a client's field office (we use SuSE 10 workstations, IP phones, and a SonicWALL TZ170 VPN router to connect construction trailers to the main office) where the blasted Westell 6100 DSL bridge ("modem," in Verizon-speak) decided to drop out of bridge mode and revert to factory default (routed-bridge) (and yes, there is indeed a UPS on the power line and a surge suppressor on the telco). I'm having difficulty getting it back into "dumb" mode (won't stick)... Ain't technology grand? Remember postcards and envelopes, and the oh-so-fantastic two milk cartons and a string??? :-) -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
