I was talking with a person that works for the company that supplies our
DSL connections and he told me that they are going away from the DSL
technology that is currently being used.
The problem with the current DSL modems that since they are "cable extenders"
they cannot query them to find out what is going on. By this I mean to find
out if the modem is even working becaue of a problem within it, or if even the
phone line is down. The only info they can find out now if if there is
any traffic at the DSLAM.
They will be going to new DSL modems that are router type modems and they
will probably result in the user's ethernet address being 10.0.0.2, as
reported by the previous poster. But, those of use who have the current
modems will probably be grandfathered and not replaced.
So, while my area cureently does not have router DSL modems, it will.
