Linkasys wrt54g & Motorola 2210 modem Closed

Question

Hello,

I switched from Charter cable to ATT DSL. My wireless router worked fine on Charter. 

I connected / setup the Motorola modem (MSTATEA 2210). Hard wired, I can get from PC to Internet. But can not figure out what needs to be changed in router settings to work with the DSL. 

I re-set the router to defaults and still nothing.

I assume I need to do something different for DLS than Cable?

Thanks

p.s.
I received no manuals for the modem so anyone have a link to that I would appreciate it!

Please see my reply on this link http://ccm.net/forum/affich 19114 motorola 2210 dsl modem with wrt54g linksys

It has to do with the PPPoE settings required by your DSL provider.  Cable modems use a one-time MAC address authentication for IP address assignments.  Your DSL modem requires a username and password to initiate the connection before an IP address is assigned.  The PPPoE settings can be configured either in your router or your modem.  All of this is explained in my reply in the other thread.

I had to same problem when I switched from Comtrashtic cable to At&T.  The fix was to going to the set up page for the router configuration and putting in my AT&T e-mail address and password for the router to read. after the reboot everything worked fine.
