When connecting the DSL modem to the PC, we can't connect to the DHCP of the modem, in other words, it connects, but has limited or no connectivity. When I connect it to a wireless Netgear G router, it shows "A Network cable is unplugged" I actually pointed for it to use the address of 192.168.0.2, with the gateway being 192.18.0.1 with the subnet mask being 255.255.255.0 Still no connection, and can't ping 192.168.0.1 100% Loss, but get excellent return on pinging 192.168.0.2 TTL=128. I'm looking for a way to actually test this Zoom DSL modem myself. Lights on the face are Left to Right: LAN LINK PWR All 3 light up green, and are solidly lit. Unless connected to the wireless router. No connection to the internet in any way.
