I also had to change the IP address on the router to a fixed address

After that, we had very little trouble with the connection. The
modem itself was 192.168.100.1. If you hook your computer directly
to the modem, you can see things like signal strength and stuff.
Can't change anything tho. You just get to look.
Interesting! I wonder if mine had a utility for something like that on
the disks that I didn't bother to open that came with the modem....
In this case it sounds a lot like a DMZ kind of thing, right? I see
DSL doing that a lot of the time. Often you can also turn it off and
use it as a dumb ppp or such. Other times, your stuck behind it and
may not even be able to forward ports.
Or maybe it's something different, something I haven't seen.
I'm no guru on this thing but for some reason the DHCP part in the
Linksys router would just not accept the address from the modem. Sort
of weird in a way tho.
Since I use Linux only, I never installed any software. I just pointed
my browser to that address and up it popped. That would work when
looking for the modem or the router. Tho I could not get to the modem
if the router was in the middle. Not sure what the deal is on that.
If I had access to one I'd get you a screen shot or something but like I
said, that was my ex's thing. She is still mad that I left. She had
"issues" that I couldn't deal with. Ya know. ;-)
