Sry my fault...time for more info.

1. The DSL works fine when hooked directly into the computer

2. The Modem is a DHCP server, however, I could not figure out how to turn this option off so I had to turn the DHCP in the router off.

3. I cannot ping the modem when hooked to the router (or connect to it by IP)...I was told that this was because the computer can't see past the "Default Gateway"....but...

4. Now heres what I think the problem is, the subnet of the modem is 255.255.0.0 whereas the routers is 255.255.255.0 I cannot change either (Modem will not change at all, and router goes to 255.255.255.55 etc, changing only the last number)

5. Even though all of the above, I was in fact able to access the internet with the computer through the router for a short time....soooo?
