Yes, Wayne, do understand that the 192.168.x.x series is one of the 3
private IP series.
Order went thru last night. Install kit is due here 10-16-07. Excitement
increases!
Suppose I'll have to review some more fundamentals. Yes, the new router
also came with a
default IP addy of 192.168.0.1. Correct, I do see this series used mostly
on most network
related equipment. Odd, but until I re-addressed the router with a
10.0.0.x addy, I could not
speak to it via the browser call of "http://192.168.0.1/"; from any of my
LAN clients.
The browser just sat their and churned until it finally timed out. I found
this strange then and
still do. I will re-test this again today.....
DHCP is disabled in the router, btw. Maybe anal but I like to assign static
IPs to my LAN clients.
I recall using DHCP back in 1999/2000 w/last router and xdsl and the
automatic lease release/
renew business was problematic. Perhaps I give it a try again for S&G's.... :)
Maybe it matters little whatever the internal IP addy of the new xdsl modem
may be. Was lead
to believe that a router is also a "bridge" via its' WAN side port. Am I
wrong?
Best,
Duncan

No because 192.168.*.* is also a private address & more routers seem to be
using that instead of the 10.0.0.* ip addies these days but either should
work just fine of course if you should happen to have to call TS you'll
royally screw with their heads. ;-)

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?
