This is a typical situation for me. I just hit the »AT&T Northeast link and I got this after waiting several seconds. This happens enough of the time to be very annoying.

Note: My Modem is about 4 years old. It obviously works....but......could that be the problem here?

I'm thinking it's probably the modem. Do you know anyone who has a modem you could borrow?


My fater has a brand new modem from his SBC/dsl installation a few months ago. Could I use that? Would I have to configure my router differently?

if your router is handling the pppoe then you shouldn't have to do anything at all.. If his modem is a 5100b and he had it set up to do the pppoe then you would have to put the modem in bridge mode, again that's only for the 5100b modem.


So you think it could be the modem then Mr.Fixit? Based on the info I provided?
