Anthony's advice -- I did this (from Windows) with the advice of the modem manufacturer. When I rebooted, I could no longer use the modem. Luckily, is has a little reset/reboot button in the back so I could restore it. Handly with care!!
Your provider, apparently, must give you some settings to make the modem a transparent bridge (if this is not its default ROM setting!!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
