Re: [modem/router] westell 2200 won't work!
said by PetePuma  :You can use the laptop. no go. here's what i did; maybe you can see the flaw.
disconnected the 2100, and connected the 2200 to the phone line, powerline, and the laptop. rebooted the laptop (all lites on modem lit). went into control panel, network settings, right clicked the LAN setting, set the ip from automatically to 192.168.2.11 (not used anywhere else.) even set dns servers, just in case.
rebooted laptop (this is a win2k laptop; the desktop is xp, but for this, was out of the mix). tried going to 192.168.1.1---same problem as before: it starts looking for an internet address and then can't find one. rebooted the modem, rebooted the laptop. tried again...no luck. still trying to find a web address.
even tried 192.168.2.11, same result.
i just can't get into the utility. i wonder if this is because i erroneously set the 0/35 to disable in the first try, remember? so nothing seems to be working there; it's inaccessible. though all the lites are lit.
help! (btw, the reason i can post this is that i'm on my desktop  ).

Arlington, VA | Sorry - you need an IP that's 192.168.1.11 (for example).

next edit: i'm SO embarrassed---guess there's no way i can just erase the whole thread huh??
ok, i just got into the westell util. and re-enabled 0/35 and then set it to bridge mode (duh). am going now to hook the dsl line up to the 2200, reset the ip to obtain auto, and try to hook into the router. wish me luck!!! (have i said i'm SO embarrassed?)
at least i learned something---if this works (the hooking up to the router, i mean) i'm going to rewrite that FAQ to be just a wee more clear and specific .
