Dennis, these are the settings used right accross all my systems, windows and red hat included, as well as windows 98 downstairs. They all work fine and fast, so I don't know. Maybe you have a different setup. This modem/router has all the relevant details to access my provider in it, i.e isp 150.101.208.30, and netmask 255.255.0.0, as well as all other info including my password for accessing the isp, and user name. The info here is only for the system to access the modem, the modem does the rest. So I think this is where we differ in the info required to access the net.
