Here's one way to make the changes needed to access your bridged 2wire
Make certain that you end the current pppoe session before you do anything else
Change the lan ip address of the 2wire to 192.168.0.254 After that is done in addition to connecting a ethernet cable to the routers internet port and modems lan port connect another ethernet cable to the routers lan port and modems lan port
Thanks for the response wayjac. Maybe I should backup and tell you what I'm trying to do.
I would like to post the necessary data listed in the FAQ's so the experts here can tell me whether my line is the problem in my frequent dsl disconnects. Can this be done through the dlink UI?
