This is what I get when hooked to the new modem directly.

If I read your reply correctly, 192.168.2.1 should be the address.  It
didn't work.  Just for giggles, in case I was reading it wrong, I also
tried 192.168.2.0 which also didn't work. 

So, modem broke or something else weird going on?  BTW, I did do a full
reset.  I pressed and held the button for a good 20 seconds.  It says 7
seconds, I wanted to be sure.  It should be using the defaults from the
factory.  Key word, should. 

Ideas?
