You may need to open ports for Steam.

I'd suggest reading through their FAQs and ask for Steam support.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22436810 Sun, 24 May 2009 13:46:17 EDT Re: Problem with 5100b http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22436599 linkmister : Couple problems here and their. When opening Steam I can't access the store or else steam will just freeze and I have to CTRL ALT DELETE but I can just order games over the web. Not a big deal, this also happens to Winamp as well but I never really used it anyway, Thanks again]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22436599 Sun, 24 May 2009 12:35:16 EDT Re: Problem with 5100b http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22435597 Doctor Olds : Test it with everything that caused you problems in the past. If you no longer have any problems like before then the "congratulations" rightfully go to you as you the one that asked the right questions, listened to the replies and made the changes to test a different configuration.

What’s the point of owning a supercar if you can’t scare yourself stupid from time to time?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22435597 Sun, 24 May 2009 01:19:15 EDT Re: Problem with 5100b http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22435034 linkmister : Thank you guy's.

Set it up in PPP mode. Internet went down. Went to bridged mode. Everything went down and I had to hit the reset button.
That is correct, you have to create the PPP connection in XP and once you make it you "double click" the icon it made and then the Internet will work. ;)

How do I do that? Can you explain step by step?
After you have made the changes as outlined by jmorlan See Profile in the 5100b, then you would, as the next step, need to setup a PPPoE connection in XP as seen here:

How to create a PPPoE connection in Windows XP
»support.microsoft.com/kb/283070
quote:
This step-by-step article describes how to install the PPPoE client and to create a PPPoE connection. Windows XP includes a built-in PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) client. The PPPoE client connection is a high-speed connection that uses hardware such as a cable modem or a DSL modem.

In your browser go to the following URL:

»192.168.0.1/

On the left, select the "Advanced" tab and under that select "PPP locations" which is the 2nd from the top. Then enter your access code (number on the bottom of the modem) and follow the dialog. Change to "PPP on the computer" or "bridge mode."

If you cannot access the modem GUI because you have a router in the way, the simplest thing is to disconnect the router and connect the modem directly to your computer's Ethernet port.

Good luck.

That is what I would suggest doing.

Firmware updated to latest version and so far it still happens. It's really ridiculous
What Firmware version shows as installed on the Web Interface of your 5100?

Are you using a single PC hooked to the 5100 Modem?

The modem even in these modes still isn't a true bridged modem. It continues to load the connections into its NAT table, but because it isn't handling the PPPoE there is some additional memory available for that table.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22372779 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:03:13 EDT Re: Problem with 5100b http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22372257 wayjac : If you are using peer-to-peer file sharing software and/or games requiring the browsing of a large number of servers

You need to limit the number of nat sessions through the software

Too many nat sessions will cause problems for most routers/modems]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22372257 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:30:01 EDT Re: Problem with 5100b http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22369570 Doctor Olds : »Efficient Networks Forum FAQ »I have a 5100 0r 4100 from AT&T/SBC, where is setup info, tips, & help?
