DSL = digital. your issue is one of two things, your modem or your dsl provider.

I used to have that splitter/ filter on when I had first started using AT&T, but I took that out ages ago and have just had it plugged right into my phone line ever since.

Can you get new DSL modems from Best Buy? I know where I work (which isn't Best Buy, but still has electronics), whenever a customer is looking for that, the electronics associate always tells them that's something they'd have to get through AT&T (or whoever their service provider may be).

I am kind of thinking it's something with the modem, though. I tried plugging my DSL modem into the other phone jacks in my house, and still no connection. I also signed up for a free trial of dial-up Internet for my own computer, and the dial-up seems to work fine on the phone jacks. So by process of elimination, I'd think there's something up with the modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-needed-ASAP-23216920 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:25:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-needed-ASAP-23215638 [att=1]
if so, try removing the splitter and plug the dsl modem into the wall.
if that doesn't work, go to Best Buy. buy a new dsl modem. bring it home and try it. if the new modem doesn't work, return the modem. its not your problem. it's the phone company's issue.

Anyway, when I reset the modem, I can get the DSL light to go green for a few seconds (can't connect to the Internet, though), but it goes out soon after, and ends up blinking red until I try resetting it again.

Also, as for bridged mode, I've hit the reset button after entering bridged mode, and I still wasn't able to get to the modem settings like I used to be able to prior to putting it in bridged mode.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-needed-ASAP-23215157 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:42:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-needed-ASAP-23215060 If the dsl light goes solid green you have problems with the inside wiring, phones or microfilters

If you can't get a solid green light at the nid, the dsl has problems that att has to repair or the modem could be bad

Pressing the reset button will get the modem out of bridged mode ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-needed-ASAP-23215060 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:21:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Help-needed-ASAP-23214834
I figured maybe it was only temporary, so I waited it out for a while; it just kept blinking red for hours. I called AT&T's support line, they ran some tests on the line, and said things looked fine on their end. They said they'd have to send some one out for on-site service, but I'm working all this week, and I need Internet ASAP (tomorrow would be preferable).

Anyway, the DSL light was still blinking red when I went to bed last night, it was still blinking red when I got up this morning, and it's been blinking red since I got home. Right now, I'm on a friend's (dial-up...) Internet, and it's just driving me nuts.

I pretty much tried everything I can think of. I tried unplugging everything and plugging it back in after a little while, I tried restarting everything, I pressed the tiny reset button on the back of my modem, etc., and nothing has done the trick. I really have no idea what happened to cause it to just go out and not come back on.

On a sidenote, I have another question; a few weeks ago, I accidentally changed my modem to "bridged" mode, and I lost the ability to get access to my modem settings by typing in that IP address. How do I get it out of bridged mode in order to be able to access those settings again? Again, though, this question is secondary, as right now, my modem can't do much of anything, right now. :/]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Help-needed-ASAP-23214834 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:36:34 EDT
