I think you mentioned a while back you're with DSL Northwest. If this is still true, then you're putting too much emphasis in the Qwest part. DSLNW is your ISP. Call them and ask for your modem to be put into Bridged mode if that's what you want. Some ISP's are willing to do this (or even have this as the default) and some aren't. This will allow you to use your own router appliance or computer as your router/gateway/firewall. Qwest has nothing to do with this part. They only provide the copper. The ISP will provide the modem for whatever phone company the customer is with, but they have control over how the device configured. Sorry if I'm not tracking, I didn't want to go read all history here. -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
