Nope - the LAN side uses 192.168.107.xxx8 (I know, but they say you can pick
any number in the 192.168 area, so I did) - - (so there).
It appears Frontier now wants all devices either plugged into one of their 4
available Ethernet ports, or connect wirelessly, AND use their router. I’m not
really wanting to do that for a number of reasons. A computer connected
directly to the dal modem works. That same computer going through the LAN to
the router, then to the dal modem will not work. Their “tech” folks tell me
that’s all I can do. I can’t believe this cannot be overcome, but am running
out of ideas.
For completeness sake, I am using a Zoom dal modem I got from Aracnet. Frontier
sent me a Netgear dal modem that I left in the box. “tech” support, of course,
freaked out. YOU CAN’T DO THAT!!! - - - uh, been doing it for 5 years now - - -
- but, but, but …
Also if you all are not aware of it, I am using a Debian-based distort called
IpFire )iffier.org), a dandy router - - full featured with a very impressive
list of add-ons.
Thanks
Bob

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
