aputerguy,

To make the Versalink a "dumb modem" you will need to do several things on both the Versalink and Linksys.

(BTW, you can not disable both Private and Public LAN at the same time on the Versalink.)

On the Versalink:
1) Change the VC from "Routed Bridged" to "Bridged"

You do this by going to:
Configuration --> Advnaced WAN --> WAN
and then configuring the "VC" you have enabled

Save and reset the router configuration changes.

Now the traffic will pass from the Verslink directly to the Linksys without any authentication or firewalling on the Versalink's part.

On the Linksys:
1) Under "Internet Setup", set the "Internet Connection Type" to either "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" or "PPPoE" depending on what your DSL provider uses.

Save the configuration changes.

On the PC:
If you are using a static IP address, make sure that you set the Gateway addres on the network card to the Local Address of the Linksys router.

You should now be up and running with the Versalink as nothing more than a dumb modem. You won't be able to access the Versalink anymore unless you plug directly into one of the ethernet ports on the Versalink, or unless you change back to a static IP Address on the Linksys' "Internet Connection Type".
