Solve : Verizon DSL and Linksys router issues?

Answer»

I just got Verizon DSL and SunRocket VoIP service. I use a linksys 4 port DSL/ Cable router to connect multiple computers as well as the VoIP box to the DSL modem, but I get no connection. I can get into the router config GUI, and I've TRIED different configs, but I still get no connection to the coputers or the VoIP box. I do when I connect directly to the odem, or from the modem to the VoIP box and then to one computer.

ALSO, the IP address I'm getting from Verizon is a 192.168.1.x address..... I didn't think 192.168.x.x was used with ISPs because it's a private class C. I called tech support for both Verizon and Linksys, but neither were any help so I'm hoping that someone here can be. Linksys router model: BEFSR41 v.3. OS: Win XP Pro.I believe you NEED to change a setting in your modem to "bridge" the router. At least, that's what I vaguely recall from changing from modem-to-computer to modem-to-router-to-computer with my Sprint DSL service. Sprint tech support guided me through that.

Since you can't get good tech support from Verizon, I suggest you visit http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ilec,vz, a forum focuses on Verizon DSL. The site also has a forum just for Linksys hardware.
