Hi everyone,
My landlord recently allowed me to tie his DSL modem (SpeedStream 5100 - SBC/Yahoo DSL service) into the available CAT5 wiring that's present throughout our house. I bought a Zonet ZSR0104CP broadband router and set everything up. After a bit of troubleshooting (tweaking the configuration, turning the modem on and off, turning the router on and off, etc.), I got the setup to work. It worked fine until I had to change the power configuration (move where it was plugged in) to the final location. After that, it hasn't worked again. (I haven't invested as much time trying to tweak it again, though.)
As nothing has changed, I'm at a loss as to why nothing is 'visible' past the router. The router reports that it has a connection to the outside world. Network preferences reports that it is connected to the internet. When a web query is made, the WAN light on the router and the ACTIVITY light on the modem both blink together. If I unplug one of the ethernet lines from the router and plug it into the modem, then the connection is fine.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be going on here?
It seems most puzzling that it did work, but now it doesn't.
