Thanks to you all who reponded either on-list or off list to my
query. It was suggested that my Westell modem was a modem/router,
which would be problematic connected to another router. Sure enough,
I turned the unit over and plain as could be it says "DSL Router". A
couple of others had sent links to sites that described how to
configure this modem/router with another router, so I tried to follow
the directions to reconfigure the Westell unit. Problem was, my web
browser wouldn't or couldn't make the connection to the modem.
Stymied there, I pondered the fact that when I had both units
connected before, I was at least getting far enough for Verizon to
tell me that I couldn't get on the net because they couldn't confirm
my password. So I decided to power everything down, reset, reconnect,
and power up everything in the exact order that the web site
indicated, and then see what I could do about the password situation.
That many-step process completed, I started the web browser, chose an
item from the "Favorites" menu, and turned my attention to something
else.
I happened to look back at the screen a minute later, and much to my
surprise I was online! I don't know exactly what it was that made it
work, but I suspect it had something to do with resetting the Linksys
router, as that is where the username and password are entered.
So once again the helpful folks on this list have helped another
baffled Mac user out of a quandary. Many thanks.
Gary
