Pete, shouldn't she just reset the modem and start over.

no, freenow, it was a question of resetting MY DA*N BRAIN

. have i said i'm SO embarrassed???

anyway, it's hooked up to the router, all is well, and aside from a BAD bruising to my ego and my geek goddess reputation (never said i knew squat about networking

), all is fine! and one good thing that came out of this: i am, as we speak, re-writing my FAQ on putting the westell 2200 in bridge mode to include a tad more info for the other "had a long nite with patients and was working on half a brain" users out there like me

.

PetePuma, you are a lifesaver. freenow, i know you would have jumped right in if pete hadn't come to the rescue.

said it before, will say it again: you guys are great.

can't tell right now in terms of 3/768, since the speed upgrade hasn't gone into effect yet, but i will say that the speed test i just did now is just the slightest bit faster on the download and almost 20 points slower on the upload (1488/363 vs. 1485/380 here---going to try ANL). at this point, i'm hooked back into the router, but with the 2200 in bridge instead of the 2100.

will take the time to switch stuff around again once i get the upgrade, just because i know others will be interested. but for me, i'll stick with the 2200 as long as it's working

.

glad you helped me feel brave

and learned two lessons:
1. you can undo even the stupidest mistakes;
2. NEVER tackle a techie job when you've been up with a patient all nite and only had two cups of coffee

re: the stats, 1485/371 with the 2200 now; only slightly lower upload than with the old 2100. saved a screenshot (lest verizon do to me what they've done to some others and downgrade me to 768/128

(i think). also have a screenshot of a few days ago with the 2100.

re: the sleep---from your mouth to the powers that be's ears!

. thanx.
