Good for them... confusing for me <grin>.

I went ahead and plugged everything up as is and it worked.  So my router 
is still authenticating.  the modem's address is 192.168.1.254 and my 
router is at 192.168.0.1. With the router in the chain I couldn't get to 
them modem to tinker with its settings.  I imagine is is a route problem 
and I will need to take the router out of line and hook the pc straight to 
the modem to make the changes.  My kids were jonesing without Internet for 
a week and once I got it working they wouldn't let me take it down <grin>.
