I am at my wits end guys!

I am at my wits end guys!!

I have a Paradyne 6381 A2 200 DSL Modem and I have NTS DSL which uses DHCP
for a Dynamic IP. I also have a Netgear WGR614 v3 router.

I want to be able to connect my wireless router but I plug the DSL Modem out
into the netgear uplink, and nothing. It won't obtain an IP, nothing. I
called the ISP and they said if you touch the modem's settings it will be
$150 to send a technician out! They offered no other help.

I tried to create a New Connection in the router's settings to use DHCP and
it won't obtain an IP from the DSL.

All I can do is set it to Bridge.

I want the DSL Modem to NAT to my Netgear which will NAT again :-D. Or if it
can be a bridge, I want it to bridge to my Netgear.

I just need a firewall guys!!! The router even includes a firewall but my
ISP won't tell me how to set it up. I don't get it. I thought they would
support the modem!

IT WORKED JUST FINE WHEN I HAD A CABLE MODEM! :'(

:-\ Thanks Guys

You probably need to identify the modem MAC address and tell the router to
clone it.

My DSL Modem MAC address ??

I still don't understand why my ISP won't give me VCI, VPI, Encapsulation,
all those specification things :(
