Bryan,
Thank you. I think you have solved all my confusion.
I'll read up on DNS Relay.
Plan to disable the DHCP Server. Understand your share of "depends,...".
Believe this a LAN-side business anyway per my router's docs. I manually
assign LAN IP addys. Old habit...... :)
Should the "wan mode:" be DHCP, most everything else falls into place.
Yes, I expect that the new ISP may supply me with 'local' settings for
my "PC", but do not divulge ATM. Actually, they mention the Install Tech
using a USB FlashDrive to 'install' my device to their service. That's a
bit creepy. This I need to run down.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Best,
Duncan

Bryan, OK. Your setup makes sense to me. Can you share what kinds
of settings you use at your Router? I was thinking stuff like:
Enable DNS Relay: ???
Sure.
Enable RIP: ???
No.
Enable DHCP Server: ???
Depends, make sure only one device on your lan is doing this
function.
WAN Mode: Static/DHCP/PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP ? UName: n/a PW: n/a Adress
Mode: Dynamic IP/Static IP ? Reconnect Mode: On-Demand/Always
On/Manual
Settings from your ISP, should be ethernet/DHCP to obtain a WAN ip.
Max Idle Time: 0=infinite/???
Infinite.
Pri DNS Server: ??? (208.67.222.222 planned?) Sec DNS Server: ???
(208.67.220.220 planned?) MTU: ??? (currently 1492 (default=1492))
Link Drop Delay: ??? (currently 120sec.(0=infinite))
Thats fine.
MAC Cloning Enabled: ??? (currently YES!!... ;)
Should not be needed in your setup, this is used if you have a wifi
AP or something hooked up to your ONT, and you switch it out but want
to make the ONT think the device is the same as to not disrupt
service.
