Ok, thats something I've never done, logging into the modem. I do log
into the router once in a while when I'm fighting networking
problems, but they almost always boil down to a portsentry miss-fire
which locks out this machine. I've added this machines ip to the
portsentry.ignore file and we'll see if that fixes it.
But I've no idea howto log into that modem. Can you enlighten me?
Verizon wasn't exactly bragging about doing that in the docs I have
here.
