What's a *satellite* modem? Are you referring to POTS modem, cable modem or ADSL modem? Broadband *modems* do not have IP addresses. (But they do have MAC addresses.) Only if it is a combo modem-router will it have an IP address. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
