Hrmm I've installed many of these Netopia ADSL gateways for "business grade" dsl customers in my area. The Cayman units require a special key file be installed to unlock certain capabilities. I don't know whether yours might be locked for SBC region or what kind of settings you will have access to.
The main thing with configuring a DSL modem of any sort is to be sure you are using the proper VPI and VCI settings. Most SBC modems come with a setting of 0/35. I think Bellsouth uses 8/35. Ask Bell's tech support if you need to confirm it. Encapsulation should be PPPOE. Multiplexing should be set to LLC. A google search turned up this doc for configuring the device for Bridging. http://www.netopia.com/support/technotes/hardware/CQG_020.html When did this come into the picture I thought you had a Westell modem and Dlink router??? -Tharin O.

I've just spent 2 days trying to get one to work here in Bellsouth-land with an Intellinet #523295 router. No go no way. I am very close to turning in my 'network' badge! I may do it anyway. These new smart modems w/"features" are a real PITA........... Best, Duncan
