I also don't get the internet led to light on the modem.
The internet light will not go on when you have the modem set as a bridge. Your router knows that you are connected to internet, but your modem cannot tell.
What is the advantages/Dis Advantages of Bridge mode from what I had?
The main disadvantage is that it will be harder to access the modem line statistics. In most other respects, once you have your own router it is preferable to set the modem to a bridge.

Now that I am in bridge mode how much trouble would it be to set up another router as a repeater so I can get more SS to my office? I have a Dlink and a Westel router spare.

Previously, your screen was showing a VPI of 8. Now it shows a VPI of 0. I don't know which is correct for your ISP, but you still need to have that correct even when set as a bridge.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20291063 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:31:35 EDT Re: Westel 6100 Linksys W54G and Version DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290585 larrylwill :

I'm guessing either the modem is bad or I'm a lost cause.

Hook the modem to the internet port of the router,access your router from your pc and setup the ppoe connection with your user name and password.

Is there a way to d/l the firmware from the working one and u/l it to the non working one?

How do I set it iup in bridge mode. I'm not too great on modems or routers.

To set it to bridge, go back to your VC settings,in one of the drop down boxes you can choose bridge.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290399 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 01:08:47 EDT Re: Westel 6100 Linksys W54G and Version DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290374 larrylwill : Is there a way to d/l the firmware from the working one and u/l it to the non working one?

I work for Centurytel larry, and it does sound like there is a user/password issue if you're getting the red internet light. Your modem settings look fine as far as the VPI/VCI settings. Make sure you aren't putting the "@centurytel.net" in the user ID field behind the user name.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290234 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:22:39 EDT Re: Westel 6100 Linksys W54G and Version DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290205 larrylwill : Ok thanks I didn't realize there was one DUH!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290205 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:14:50 EDT Re: Westel 6100 Linksys W54G and Version DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20290132 sashwa : Larry, I can move this over to our Centurytel forum if you would like.

I'm not sure - I think you get a chance to set that when changing the settings. However, you can also set those by clicking on HOME and then editing the session settings - that's probably the best way to do it.

I bought another 6100 off Ebay so I could return the rented 6100 to Version.
The problem is I can not get the Ebay 6100 to connect to the service. The modem seems to be working ok. I get a red light on the internet led and the message cannot connect, or hook up a dsl line. I assume there is something in it for version to recognize but I don't know what setting. Its address is 192.168.1.1 and the Linksys address is 192.168.0.1
I compared it to the working one and all settings look the same. However I may have overlooked something.
What have I not set up correct?
