Hal-- tried that. Copied everything verbatim from networking TCP/IP NIC properties to the Linksys router. I then returned the TCP/IP NIC properties to waht the Linksys manual says they would be. Rebooted-- nothing. One thing I noticed was that MSN requires a host/domain name and the Linksys router miffs it up when I enter it. It should be "msn dsl" but when I enter it into the router and hit apply, It changes to "msn+dsl". Also, taking the advice of mcse007, using winipcfg It shows the host as CRAIG'S.northpoint (CRAIG'S is the network name of my computer). When I re-apply everything to the TCP/IP NIC settings, winipcfg shows the host/domain correctly as msn dsl.northpoint. One other difference I noticed with winipcfg was that using TCP/IP NIC settings, NetBIOS Resolution Using DNS is checked. Using the router, it's not. I set all the DNS numbers correctly so I don't know if that means anything.
Xayd-- The dslmodem is a router. It requires no PPPoE or other software. The IP listed is 192.168.1.1 but-- it is a static IP (obviously NOT 192.168.1.1). I sent myself some e-mail and checked the headers. I then restarted the 'puter and did the same thing. Same IP addy. SO I know it's static and I do remember when the tech set up the dsl modem that he wrote down the same numbers when he was finished.
-Carl-- Yes it is. And the best part for me is, using Netscape many pop-ups don't pop up. Go figure.
mcse-- See my response to Hal.
I'm going to e-mail MSN. I've called their tech support number-- what a f'n joke. I explained to this lady three times wha I'm trying to accomplish and the best she could say was that she didn't think two computers could be hooked up to run together. Daohhhhhhhh!
