Yep, I looked at the login screen the modem gave me. LOL It's just the wrong one. See below. > Have you tried pointing your browser to: http://192.168.1.254 ? > Yep, did that and bookmarked it. THAT was mistake #1. It bookmarked a different part of the modem. Therefore, it didn't give me the other pages you are referring too. Going to he link you gave worked better, MUCH better!!

The pages were slow as crap but cool anyway. I don't know why but the AT&T pages load about the same speed on DSL as they did on dial-up. Everything else is fast but not AT&T. Weird huh?
