Solved:
Netopia 2241N-006 modem/Linksys WRT54G v5 wireless router

Some
one please help me get my home network operational now that I've
changed to using a Bellsouth provided Netopia 2241N-006 modem.
Previously I had been using my Linksys WRT54G wireless router
successfully with my Cable ISP modem (Charter). I switched this week
to Bellsouth in my area, and I can not get the combination of the 2
devices to work. When I connect the Netopia modem directly to my
computer, I can access the internet just fine, but when I try
putting the router in the middle, I can't get the internet to work.
I've tried several different settings on the linksys including the
automatic DHCP setting, the PPPoE setting, I've tried cloning the
MAC address to that of the netopia modem. I read one thread on here
about port forwarding issues with these 2 devices, but it didn't
provide me a solution. I would be very appreciative if someone could
help.

thanks,

The
Netopia 2241N-006 is a single port router, so what you need to do is
one of the following.

Configure the Netopia into "bridge
mode" and connect the router in the standard modem/router
configuration, or use the following configuration for the secondary
router.

Connecting two SOHO broadband routers
together.

Configure the IP address of the secondary router to
be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of
the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance DHCP server
addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the
secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address.

Disable
the DHCP server in the secondary router.

Setup the wireless
section just the way you would if it was the primary
router.

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of
the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port
and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over
cable. Leave the WAN port
unconnected!
