Wayne,
Yes, I understand. I too use static IPs on my LAN (10.0.0.x series) and
have no problem with dynamic IP on the WAN side. Same as Verizon xdsl back
in 2000.
I have not re-tried the reorder yet. Spent the last several hours reading
the pdf's for the Westell and 2Wire modems. First thing I notice is that
xdsl modems have gotten much more complex in the last 6 years! Firewalls,
DHCP, Port forwarding, DMZ, USB, Sheesh. Beginning to wonder why I bought
a new router...... :)
Can I assume that as I RTFM and see reference to an internal IP addy for
the modem in the 192.168.x.x series that this is just for discussion? I'd
really hate to have to re-address my whole LAN to use the modem.........
:) I now realize how much I have not kept up with since 2000. Jeez!
Best,
Duncan

I'll spend time this afternoon reading. I got completely through the
online sign-up but the session
bombed on me at the last 'continue.' I avoided the static ip ($14.95/mo)
and all the extra 'security' features (monthly rental for additional sw
on the pc/pc's).
I had to call because their online ordering for bundled services is not
working properly but make sure you tell them that you tried to do it
online as there are discounts that are only available online that they'll
give you when you call it only if you mention that you had problems.
FWIW I use static IPs on my LAN but not on the WAN [internet] side
therefore I don't pay anything extra.
