Re: Verizon DSL modems: Help me choose! Thanks for your reply. I especially appreciate learning these two items:
That old Westell likely... has no GUI to access, it is just a dumb modem. and
To connect using that modem without the Linksys router, with the PC connected to the Westell, you will need to, in XP, in Network Connections, create a new connection - a Broadband connection, (commonly called a "dialer" or "connectoid" or "ppp shim"), and set it to do the PPPoE connection. The PC will get the public IP. |
