OK, have an idea about "bridge mode." Not completely clear yet.
LAN is converted. Now using the 192 series. What a PITA, but done!
Worse, the install kit arrived an hour ago. Freaked, I am!
No, Bellsouth did not send anything about net addy's or IP addy's I
might choose to use. <shrug>. Actually, I did not expect this anyway.
DO have a 1-888 phone number if ....... LOL!
Yes, I am laughing still. Bunk!
I do have a CD to run. Hmm. The only way I will run this CD is if/when I
take a client off-LAN to use for "setup." Is this recommended for initial
install?
Best,
Duncan

If you run firewall logs, I feel WAP's like the WRT54GS running DDWRT would
provide more info than the Westell's firewall. YMMV.
Last thing you want is your connection & firewall rules to stop working or
disappear because the ISP pushed an update, etc...
Either way works, I just like to put as little faith & control into ISP
equipment as possible.
