You can change the netgear to get along with the modem. Go to http://192.168.2.1 and change the router's address so it's on the 192.168.1.xxx network (I put most of mine starting at 192.168.1.110.) If you can't get a configuration screen at that address, type back. Don't be confused by the difference between the "internet connection" and the router's IP assignment: your connections will be going out on u-verse and the wires plugged-into the netgear will NOT be plugged-into the "different" <internet> port. Be sure to go to the new address and bookmark it so you won't forget where you put the router NOTE ALSO you should turn-off DHCP in the netgear. This will mean that all addresses would be assigned by u-verse and the u-verse and netgear won't be fighting to assign addresses. p -- pski real stereo doesn't wake neighbors (it enrages them) . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77669 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
