Thanks everyone for the suggestion to put the modem into 
bridging mode. I didn't know I had the option.

no luck there, It's a Westell C99-610015-00.

I haven't called tech help yet. I expect I'm going to have 
to go through setup with a windows box. I was hoping just to 
stumble my way through without having to use windows. The 
windows box I have normally sits behind my firewall and 
hasn't been hardened. If I connect it up to the DSL modem to 
go through the setup procedure, I'm going to have to put 
zone alarm onto it first.

I'm supposed to setup using a CD running on a windows box 
which needs to install something on my computer before it 
will run. All I need is a half page of instructions on 
paper :-(

Thanks
Joe
